First Kiss Advice?

I am sorry to say I can’t remember my first kiss. It probably happened when I was about 16, with my first real boyfriend (who will remain unnamed). He was a wonderful guy, and we went together through 11th and 12th grade, but I broke up with him just before the prom. I am totally ashamed of the way I treated him … I know I hurt him badly, but he still wanted to take me to the prom. We went together, but we both had a terrible time. I was vastly uncomfortable with the whole thing, and he knew it was over – for real.

I came across these fabulous tips for men regarding their first kiss. Great advice here, but I’m wondering how important you think these 10 pointers are.

And here’s an article about the way women feel about a first kiss, compared to men.

What do you think? Can a man or woman tell whether a relationship is going to go anywhere from their first kiss?

    I saw those articles the other day and thought they both were one-sided – towards the man. But that could just be me.

    Anyway, I do think the first kiss can tell a lot. It can give you an idea of what’s on the guy’s mind – his intentions. But again, could just be me. :)

    I think you can tell a lot from a first kiss. I’m more apt to be drawn to a man who moves in slowly, takes his time and doesn’t rush things in comparison to one who zooms in, bumps noses, jabs his tongue down your throat.

    He’s in too much of a hurry, too demanding, and puts off a I’ll take you whether you’re ready for me or not attitude. Not a good thing when you think of how that may affect his lovemaking techniques as well. If he rushes in for the kill with a simple kiss, he may well have the same methods in bed.

    I like a good rowdy romp, but from a first kiss, I don’t want to feel like he’s just after sex and will leave me unsatisfied and baffled. It does seem to set off something in my brain that makes it an instant turn off.

    I put a LOT of emphasis on the emotional connection of a kiss. But I also believe that looking into your partner’s eyes does something to the physical reaction you have to them as well. Windows to the soul I suppose.

    Oh, yes! You can totally tell. The first time USF kissed me, I was a goner. On our next date, the whole evening, I was looking forward to the goodnight kiss. Talk about tension!

    Kissing is more of a verification, than a decision. It is too complex to explain this a in a single comment. Instead, I suggest to read my article at someonecz.blogspot.com/2007/11/first-kiss.html
