How can I kiss someone without taking it too far?

Asked by cthulette (177points) May 17th, 2011

I have a problem when it comes to first kisses: I never know what to do after the kiss, so it tends to lead to making out and so-on and so-forth because I don’t know how to stop without seeming rude. Does anyone have any tips for stopping after a first kiss without seeming disinterested?

Body language is good.

Making out is good too.

It can be a bit awkward if you do it the wrong way. I would kiss them, slowly back away, smile a little shy smile that says “Mmm that was nice”, then ask a casual question such as, “Do you want to go grab a bite to eat?” Something to make it less awkward for both parties. After the initial first kiss, it’ll happen more naturally and you won’t worry about what you’re going to do afterwards.

Why not make it a slow, gentle kiss? You can back away slowly, as @ItalianPrincess1217 suggests and smile at them and take their hand or even cup their face in your hands. You just have to be honest and deliberate with your actions. It’ll only be awkward if you make it awkward.

A quick peck on the cheek or lips followed by quickly moving away with the occasional naughty/shy glance back at the person. Remember to make eye contact.

Kiss on the hand.

Make sure that you have plans to do something on the date other than make out. Keep both feet on the floor.

Keep your tongue to yourself. And be standing up. Then you can disengage slowly and say good night.

Check your watch?

The very safest way is to stand back 4 feet from your subject and throw them a kiss.

Yeah, it’s cold, but it’s safe.

This prevents pregnancy, spreading of aids, and herpes. jp

Hahaha keep pausing in between and then change the subject, but not to seem cold, just peck him on the lips after you talk and before you go do whatever you suggested. (:

How about the plain and simple “That was really nice; Gotta go!”
That way you end it and still project you liked it.
Unless you really didn’t like it or are seriously disinterested. Then leave out the “that was really nice” part.

@ItalianPrincess1217 I guess that explains something. You are italian and they are so sexy and know all the moves (the guys) lol.
Okay women too ;)

You could start with keeping your tongue in your mouth. :P

Don’t bother with the first kiss. If there’s no real passion in it it will be phony. Only kiss someone who turns you on. I know all these tricks to get away would leave me cold. I wouldn’t want to go out with you again.
