Kissing is perhaps the most physical contact between two people romantically speaking! There is no particular way to kiss and one cannot become a great kisser by taking classes! Each and every person kisses differently and each and every one prefers to be kissed in a different manner. End of story! I know of people who are shocked by the idea of French kissing and using their tongues while others cannot do away without these two. The best way to kiss is to experiment with your partner and decide what levels of kissing both of you are comfortable with.

Make sure your first kiss is done when the two of you are alone to avoid any nervousness and embarrassing moments. Start slowly and try out variations. The best approach will be to start with small kisses, working your way towards a French and then gently tugging or nibbling your partner's lips. And remember to concentrate on other areas as well like the chin, the cheeks and eyelids. Never try to kiss a person the first time you meet him or her. Wait for a reasonable attraction to build up and then after a couple of meetings have that first kiss!

As I mentioned before there is nothing like a wrong kiss or a right one. However some basic measures can be implemented to get it right! Here are some golden rules for getting that best kiss out of you.

1. Breath: There is nothing worse than getting kissed by someone with a bad breath. Make sure you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with some Listerine before heading out on that important date. If your date involves eating or drinking then always carry some mints with you but remember to remove the mint or gum before kissing.
2. Moisture: Your lips need to be moist before the act of kissing. Slightly wet your lips by running your tongue over the lips. A lip gloss will make a kiss gooey and heavy lipstick will transfer it to your partner! Slight moisture allows for better movement of your lips over your partner's and makes the whole kiss more pleasurable.
3. Eyes: Closed or open? If it is your first few kisses before you get to know your partner better then it is better to close your eyes while kissing. After a few rounds when you are more comfortable you can open your eyes. To some people kissing with open eyes is far more erotic than kissing with closed eyes.
4. Closed lip kiss: This works fine with your aunt or grandmother! This is also a means of communicating to the opposite number that you wish to go no further. This is also a good weaway to give a hello/good-bye kiss and a first time kiss when you are nervous. Just close your lips when your lips meet.
5. Open kissPart your lips slightly and bring them close to your partner's. Do not hold your breath and keep breathing out through your nose. As your lips meet press gently on your partner's lips or make small, circular movements over your partner's lips.
6. Hands: There are so many variations to the use of hands in a kiss. The common variation is to place one hand over the waist and the other over the back. You can even hold your partner's face in your hands (very sensual!), place your hands on your partner's waist, put your hands around your partner's neck, hold your partner's upper or lower arms gently, run your fingers through his or her hair or even just simply hold hands!

Have you had moments when your partner backs off after the first kiss? Was it due to bad breath? Or were you too aggressive? Find out whether your partner likes your kissing or not through these subtle signs and make corrections accordingly.

1. Your partner slipped in his or her tongue once but then never after: Probably you started salivating right into her mouth the second her lips parted. Do not fumble around in her mouth.
2. Your partner prefers other body parts: If your partner likes you but avoids your mouth and instead goes for other body parts then your kissing is not up to the mark. In hindsight this might be good too!!
3. The "I have to wake up early tomorrow" routine: If your partner is passionate with you but hesitant to make out with you at night and opts to crash early then you need a reality check.
4. Your partner never initiates kissing: No matter how passionate your loved one might be if he or she hesitates to initiate kissing then he or she is watchful against your kissing techniques.
5. Playing Sleeping Beauty: If your partner feigns sleepiness or yawns every time you approach him or her for an embrace then something is wrong in your kissing department.
6. Lip chewing: Some people love their lips to be mildly chewed upon but each time your partner has lips that look like as if stung by bees chances are that they will not be keen to kiss you.
7. "Let's be friends", after the fist kiss signals the deathknell for your relationship. Time to get some practice.
8. No compliments: If your partner has not even once uttered "I love kissing you" then chances are there that he or she finds your kiss very bland.
9. Your partner stuffs gum in your mouth every time you breathe: There is nothing more worse than kissing a person with a bad breath and pay attention to this very carefully.
10. The final humiliation - You see your partner kissing someone else. Fair enough. He or she did not get what was needed and thus the search for greener pastures. Get back at them by perfecting your technique and trying it out on a close friend of your ex. This will make your ex regret!!
