When trying to figure out how to make out, first ask yourself if you’re ready to make out. How’s your breath? Maybe you should chew some gum or pop a breath mint, just in case. Nicely offer some to your partner. Don’t let bad breath kill the mood. Is it the right moment to make your first move? If you want it to be something special, make sure the mood is right and you’re in a comfortable place, especially if you plan on making out for a long time. While standing may be comfortable for some, it may be better to start out sitting on a couch or a bed. Finally, make sure the person that you plan on kissing wants to be kissed by you. Nobody likes rejection. Look for signs that the person you’re with wants you to show them how to make out.
So, if you’re getting the green light, make your move. Start out with your mouth closed. After the first lip lock you and your partner will help each other figure out what styles of kissing work best for you. Don’t bee too aggressive. You don’t want to scare anyone away! However, some couples are into that kind of thing. If you’re that type of couple, have at it! If this is the first time with this particular person, I would suggest being gentle for now. If you don’t like something the other person is doing, try to guide them away from it. Don’t ruin the mood by making it blatantly obvious you don’t like it. Remember, you want this to look like one of the kissing scenes in a good romance movie. Pull back a little if something seems like too much for you. On the same note, make sure you let your partner know you like something. Lean in, or make noises that would tell your partner to keep doing what they are doing.
Pay attention to the reactions and body language of the person you are kissing as they may be trying to tell you something. Take the suggestions and roll with them. By helping each other out, you both know what the other wants and it makes the situation that much better! Remember to breathe (through your nose of course)! Also, swallow your spit every once in a while. You need a little for the make out session, but too much can ruin the mood. Odds are if you pass out or drown during your make out session, you or your partner may never want to do it again.
If you want some experience in making out before you actually do so, then you could try playing some kissing games for girls. This should bring up your confidence before your first kiss.
Last but not least, be prepared. When you think about how to make out for the first time, you may also be thinking about how to take it to the next level. Know your limits and be ready for anything. Make sure you and your partner are on the same page and want the same things. You may want more but your partner may just prefer the kissing for now. That’s okay for now. Remember that no means no and if you ever want to make out with that person again, make sure you leave them happy!
