| Pucker Up - It's Kissing Time! | |
|
Kissing someone you have just started dating:
If this isn't your first date, chances are you have kissed before (if not, see the tips for kissing a crush), so a turn under the mistletoe shouldn't be that frightening. But that doesn't mean it isn't special. A mistletoe kiss with a new steady can be something you will never forget. For this reason, it should be a little different than your other kisses. Holding each other close is a definite must. Start kissing the same as you have in the past. Play with each others hair or run your fingers up and down one another's back. If you have never french kissed before, now may be a good first time. If you aren't ready to french kiss yet, try what we Canadians call a "Quebec kiss". This type of kiss is a shorter, dryer version of the french kiss with only a little bit of tongue playing. If you aren't ready for that either, try spicing up the kiss with a little bit of fun, playfully tickle your partner to signal that it is over or end with a gentle kiss on the nose or forehead.
Super Savvy Tip:
Stay in each other's arms even after the kiss is over and talk. Talk about the kiss and how nice it was, talk about the party and how fun it is, and then lean in for another quick smooch.
Kissing someone you have a relationship with:
It never gets boring kissing your steady but kissing under the mistletoe is always a little bit special. Since you are probably well acquainted with one another's kissing techniques, there isn't much extra advice you need. A holiday kiss is always nice if entered in to in the interest of fun, rather than passion. Remember you are at a party under mistletoe, not in a private place with the lights down low. Your kiss should take that in to account. French kissing is fine as long as you don't get carried away. Kissing on the neck or face is also nice. But don't paw each other and don't turn the mistletoe kiss in to a make out session. Kiss like you normally would but keep it lighthearted and fun. If you haven't french kissed before it may be fun to give it a try under the magic of the mistletoe. Whatever you do, make sure it is fun and make sure that you are ready to rejoin the party when it is over.
Super Savvy Tip:
If you are solid in the relationship ending the kiss with a whispered, "I love you!" or "I am sure glad you're mine!" can make the moment linger in both of your hearts.
