Take your time! Start by flirting and complimenting them. Get close and lightly touch them on their shoulder or thigh. Then, try looking deep into their eyes. If they seem into it, you can go in for a kiss.

First off, I'll just say that kissing is so subjective. However, I think, overly fast, jerky movements and vigorous thrusting of the tongues are things to avoid. So, my first piece of advice would be to just slow down. Try to not eat strong smelling foods if you know you’ll be kissing someone. Also, be mindful of angles. Sometimes people come into a really strange angle to kiss someone and surprise kissing people, actually, you know, especially for the first time can, you know, if it's and that kind of comes into the school of like fast movements. Finally, coming in slowly so that the other person has proper time to prepare and understand that you’re hoping to kiss them will help you. It will show that you’re attuned to the other person and increase that connection.
