It’s time to share a steamy lip-lock with your date, but you’re a little squeamish because you aren’t too fond of French kissing, thanks to partners from the past who made the experience simply horrible. We admit, if you are kissing someone who isn’t great at it, it can be an uncomfortable activity — sometimes down-right gross; however, it can be a knock-your-socks-off activity that prepares you for the main event.

Members of Flirt.com have come together with advice on how to go from someone who hates the idea of having someone’s tongue in your mouth into someone who enjoys it — even if slightly.

Do:

1.Find an Appropriate Time to Kiss. One of the more difficult things about deciding when to engage in a French kiss is knowing when to lean in for it. The best time for a French kiss is usually when you’re alone with your date and there is a lull in the conversation. You don’t want to be in the middle of a discussion and shove your tongue down their throat in front of a room full of strangers.

2.Start off Slow and Work Up To It. Instead of going straight to the tonsil hockey, start slow. You have to work up to the passionate kisses. By kissing the lips slowly and softly, you can gauge their receptiveness to progress further. After kissing their lips, you can nibble on their lower lip lightly to test the waters. If they kiss back, you can introduce a little tongue action.

3.Know When to Stop. When you watch movies, their make-out sessions seem like they go on for hours! That is not how it works, nor do you want it to! A good French kiss session doesn’t have a time limit, but you should definitely know when to stop. The moment that the other person (or yourself) start to act like they are bored or are not enjoying it, that is time to stop. Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities to kiss more later.

Don’t:

1.Make It All About the Tongue. One of the top reasons people hate to French kiss is because there is entirely too much tongue action. Instead of trying to reach the back of the other person’s throat with your tongue, just let the tips of your tongues touch briefly. Nibble on their lips. Always remember that a great kiss doesn’t necessarily mean it has to have a tongue, but when you do introduce the tongue into the kiss, a little goes a long way.

2.Stop Breathing. You may be totally captivated by your partner and never want to break away from a passionate kiss, but you also don’t want to turn blue in the process. Pulling away every few moments to catch your breath is perfectly acceptable because you can stare into their eyes, smile, breath, and gauge their willingness to proceed to other activities.

2.Force It. Sometimes when you go in for a make-out session, the other person just isn’t feeling it. Don’t force them to do something they don’t want to, this will only cause them to resent you and not want to kiss you ever again. Always be respectful to what they do and do not want.
