Another important tip for how to kiss someone is as simple as these two words: fresh breath. You don't want to be up close and personal to someone's face space only to find that their mouth smells, you know, not great. If you're anticipating a trip to Makeout Town, avoid any and all stank-inducing foods like garlic, onions, and processed cheese.

Good kissers skip to the best parts by taking control and mentioning the things they do like. It can be as simple as saying "So, that tongue move you just did - I like that," as well as providing alternatives for the things they don't like. Play show and tell by performing the move on your partner and then asking them to do it back to you.

As we just mentioned, your current kissing partner might be trying to show you what they want, so pay attention to their moves. Slow down, take note of the things your partner does, and then gently do it back. If they respond with enthusiasm, you'll know you got their message. Remember that the show isn't all about you: you're both in control.
