43 Kisses

There are 43 different kisses to explore on this date, from a standard French kiss to more unusual ones like the Spiderman kiss, nip kiss, and sniff kiss. Each one of them will teach you a little bit more about the way your date likes to be kissed and maybe even the way you like to be kissed. To start, download the Kisses pdf in the Links section, print it, and cut out all of the kisses. Some of you will decide to go for it and try them all, but 43 different kisses, many of which take a few tries to get right, may be a bit much for others. If this is the case, no big deal, flip through the kisses and pick out 20-25 that you like. Fold them up and take turns drawing kisses, following the instructions on each one. Don't tell your date which kiss you picked, have them close their eyes and find out when you do it!

Most of the kisses include a question or two that will help you communicate opinions about the kisses and your techniques. Kissing is one of those sensitive topics, so make sure to give feedback in a positive way. For example, instead of saying "You kissed me too hard" try "I liked it at the beginning when you were kissing me softly". Complement each other while giving direction.

This brings us to the mood. All of this kissing requires some kind of a mood, right? I can see candles, maybe a fire, a bottle of wine, soft music, and a very romantic evening. But I can also see you going somewhere secluded, lying down on a blanket and having fun drawing a new kiss every few minutes and just enjoying the day. Romantic or casual can both be great, do what feels right for your relationship.

When you're done, ask which ones were the best and if they know any that weren't covered (you're willing to continue!). And last but not least, with all the kissing involved you may want to bring breath mints, smell amazing, and don't forget the Chapstick! Happy kissing!
