Here is what I would do. Go for a side kiss. Half cheek and half lips. See if she moves in for more. Now you have the option to pull out and make it look like you have bad aim.

Be warned. The first kiss is pretty weird. At first I thought it was gross. I got over that in about 30 seconds.

Make it soft and gentle. Make sure your breath is fresh too!=)

Don’t freak out if your teeth touch. Just back off and try again.

Actually, in general, don’t freak out about it. The excitement far outweighs the awkwardness.

Don’t worry about it too much. Have good breath and soft lips. Make some sort of gentle physical contact with her like holding her hand or touching her cheek, smile, and go in for it. Don’t use tongue or try to make it movie-style. Just a simple kiss at first, and go from there.

Kisses can be awkward. Just have fun with it. :)

Don’t slobber or do the Snake Tongue Of Death and you’ll be fine. Each couple has to find their own rhythm.

Wet your lips first, not real wet, but just run your tongue over your lips. Very softly, kiss her on the lips. Don’t press your lips hard on hers, make it very soft, as soft as a butterfly wing. Leave her wondering if it was an actual kiss for the first time. I would not do it in or at the movies, but as you leave her for the evening if there are no parents watching. If so, you can do it in the movie theater.

Thanks for all of these answers, I am definitely a shy guy and know next to nothing about things like this.

You must be a young one :3

@whatabouteyebrows Just remember that almost everyone in the world has a first kiss- and many, many of them are awkward. Don’t take it too seriously.

@whatabouteyebrows: When I met my boyfriend for the first time in person (long distance thing), he had still never had his first kiss, and he was so shy. So am I, actually… but anyway… we talked for a while… me at the top of the bed, him sitting near the end. Then when he felt more comfortable, he moved and sat next to me. When I felt like he was doing okay with the shyness, I laid down in front of him on my stomach… still just talking. Then when he felt okay with that, he slouched down so he was laying down but propped up on an elbow. So then, when I was sure he’d be okay with it, I leaned in and gently touched my lips to his.. let it linger a few seconds. Then I stopped… looked him in the eye, and I saw a little surprise but definitely okay… so I leaned in and kissed him again… worked from touching lips, to pressing lips, to sort of sandwiching our lips, to the biggie lol

Seems like a lot of work, sure… but when at 20 you still haven’t kissed a girl and you’re so painfully shy, it’s important to make sure everyone is comfortable and relaxed, and that you don’t push too much. From the time I opened the door and saw him for the first time to the kiss, it was about an hour. But you don’t have the first meeting problem lol.

I’d suggest to be in a comfortable place that is memorable, and doesn’t make her feel like you’re trying to sneak one in. If possible do things that make the date feel romantic for her without any hint that you’re expecting something in return. For some reason, the darkness of the movie theatre seems private and a good choice, but if the two of you are not on the same wavelength it may backfire.

I think I did try something like sharing a big drink and using red vines as straws…the red vines may be an aphrodisiac, or at least, the candy part makes the moment sweeter.

PLENTY OF TONGUE!!! j/k

Don’t swallow her face. Try to make your lips equal.

Again, thanks for all the answers. Except for @stratman37.

Close your eyes.

Don’t catch her off guard when you go to do it or she will inevitably turn her head at the wrong moment and you will find yourself kissing her ear. Hold her hand and look her in the eye a a couple of seconds before you do it so that she knows that it’s coming.

Gentle, soft and with less saliva as possible and try to keep your tongue in side your own mouth.

Several soft little kisses on the lips are better at first than going for a big one right off the bat.

If it has been a year the odds are pretty good that she is in the same boat as you. It is going to be hard to fuck this up.

You can also try kissing her neck, in the area just behind the ear; that is an erogenous zone, and if done softly you can do it while giving her a hug…it will also give her a chance to feel your “touch” without feeling the obligation to reciprocate…at first. Translated: a good way to get the ball rolling without the pressure of a face to face contact.

Halfway through the movie, look her dead in the eye and with one hand, gently turn her face towards you by the cheek, and kiss her. Don’t use tongue the first go about it though, save that for later (unless she gives you the tongue first of course!)

Hold her hand. Maybe talk about how happy you have been since you started seeing her, etc. Lean in at the movie and hold her hand if it’s not akward. Make eye contact and make sure she is having a good night with you. When you do lean in for the kiss, close your eyes just as your lips touch. Touch her gently on the cheek with one hand. Make your lips as soft as possible, don’t clench up. Be gentle and soft, but still let her feel you. Don’t use tongue! When ready for that, don’t dart in and out, and don’t stick it in super far. Just lighty brush it against hers gently and semi slowly. Take your time and let her pull away if she wants. Trust your gut, but don’t be too nervous. It’s all fun. Best of luck!

Don’t forget a mint beforehand! That’s the best tip I can give. You don’t want to be tasting each other’s last meal.

Soft lips!!!!
