The pressure is on, that first kiss is a test. GayCompatible.com provides you list of first kisses that just don't pass:
The Open Mouthed Swallow. It’s a big risk that some enjoy taking, but it’s the radius of lippage that people fear most. If the chemistry is there it could work, but most people lead up to that with some introductory closeness. Some tips if you are going for the gold: dive in from a shorter proximity, no more than arms length unless you want to know what their teeth taste like. Close the gap a little and tongue comes second. But hey, if you two are feelin' it, by all means Rhett Butler, don't hold back.
The Uninvited. How fitting The Uninvited kiss should follow The Open Mouthed Swallow. I once had a not-so-good date, great guy, but the chemistry just wasn’t there. He told me via email the next day that he planned on kissing me after the restaurant and I thought, really? What part of the evening gave the impression the date was going well? Post-date boldness, however, can still be quite hot. It gives the chance to touch base and let your date know any intentions you have the next time you see each other.
The Missed Cue. We’ve all been there. You knew you had the chance to make a go for it, but it was a fail. Abort. Save the moment for the next time you see each other. Although, the classic line, “I really wanted to kiss you just now”, is tried, tested and hot. When two people are feeling it, you know it feels right. By chance this statement is a warning for The Uninvited lip lock, it leaves you room to creatively back off. Hmmm, good luck with that.
The Shy Guy. You want to go for the kiss, but totally relying on him to make the first move. This isn’t Grade 9, we need to be a little bolder. But if shyness is part of your charm, we recommend The Missed Cue tactic to get things rolling. Feel free to use closer body language to convey your readiness for some lovin'. No one likes to be rejected, so if you are really set on him making the first move, make your availability as clear as day. If by chance you both are playing the shy card, there’s just no hope. Or, wait at least a few more dates.
The Bad Breath Kill. No, just no. You knew to come prepared and I’m not the first person who wanted to tell you. Yet we don’t, because how does one broach this subject without ruining the spontaneity or coming across as a jerk. This is quite the non-issue when two people genuinely click and pheromones are exchanged. If you really dig him, this dentyne denial is forgivable because your date can do no wrong. Although for most, you are still learning about each other and it's always best to come prepared. That soy latte was bad news my friend, now you know why they sell mints at Starbucks.
