Does the thought of making out with someone you are attracted to make you all giddy inside? Is that eagerness and attraction mixed with anxiety and a bit of fear as well? If so, don't think you are strange or somehow unusually awkward in these situations. Most people experience these nervous emotions until they learn how to make out with more confidence.

You could gain some confidence by making out with a bunch of people at every chance possible so you know what to expect and get a lot of experience. For most people that simply is not an option, so you have to think of other ways to calm the nerves for whenever your chance does arrive.

Let's compare making out with someone you really like to visiting your doctor for hypnosis. When you see the doctor you lie down so your body is completely relaxed. You are instructed by a gentle, kind voice to close your eyes and wipe all thoughts from your mind. You are to focus only in the moment, not on anything else.

When you are with someone that you really want to kiss and hold tight, you should focus on the same things. Relax your body. Clear your mind of all thoughts; and that includes anxiety and fearful thoughts. Close your eyes. Just try to live in the moment without any introspection or analysis.

In some cases you may find that your personality lends itself well to this and you are able to push away other thoughts and just relax into the moment rather easily. For others, you will need more experience making out to let loose.

Instead of fighting inside your own head to stop thinking, turn your thoughts to the person you are next to. If you can't stop your mind, then focus it solely on this other person. Notice how they smell and where their hands are. Are they holding you close or leaning over with a hand barely gracing your shoulder? How do their lips feel? Are they opening their mouth? These are the things to focus on until your thoughts fade off.

Focus on what they do, where they put their hands and legs, and every move they make. You are not analyzing or criticizing. You are just enjoying, soaking it up, and learning. You are in the moment with them and pushing all other thoughts away.

When you are first learning how to make out it is okay to take the lead of your partner, especially if they are more experienced. Try to just relax and see where things lead. Eventually you will have the experience to keep your cool and just enjoy the moments more fully.
