The Lost Art of Kissing

Kissing…ah, the joys of it. You can learn so much just from a kiss. Whether it’s the gentle parting kiss on the forehead or the cheek kiss used to greet close friends…kissing is definitely an art, that may be lost on some. Because kissing can having many meanings, some people have abandoned kissing, just to avoid sending the “wrong” message, while others look forward to a kiss at the end of the night.

In dating kissing is often the precursor to something more. Whether it’s the passionate let’s not end this great time kiss or the let’s just be friends kiss, we as humans need to be kissed. Studies have shown that as babies we need kisses and hugs; it makes us feel safe, cared for & loved. But what happens when we become adults and the kisses dry up? When did we trade in first base kissing for a simple home run? When did we lose the wonderful art form of kissing?

Aside from having fresh minty breath, the quickest & easiest way to see if she is receptive to kissing you is to lean in to her, like you want to tell her a secret…in fact you could say something like “I have a secret to tell you…, you have the most beautiful ________(fill in the blank) then go in for the kiss…

Or if you aren’t as bold, dramatic or are really nervous, a kiss on the cheek is a good start…
