Everyone looks forward to a memorable first kiss. Kissing for the first time sure gives some people butterflies in the stomach. So worry not. We bring you some great tips for kissing the first time.
 

Make Sure You are Alone
One of the most important points to be kept in mind in order to make your first kiss memorable is to be all alone. You wouldn’t want to lose concentration because of too many people around and make a mess out of it.

Have a Good Breath
It is very important that you have a good breath. Not only does it make you feel good, it will make your partner realize that you care about these little things that count a lot in making a moment special. In case you cant floss, make sure you carry some mint with you always.

Don’t Ask
Never ask when you want to kiss. The feeling should come simultaneously to both of you. Else it will look more like obliging or forcing. The essence of your first kiss will be lost and you wouldn’t be able to enjoy it fully.

Relax
It is very important to relax and take it easy. The moment should seem like it is in slow motion to make it last. The worse thing you can do is moving too fast and make the whole thing seem too rushed. It is the biggest turn off for a woman. So just relax and take it easy and slow.

The Right Moment
Make sure the right moment arrives before you proceed to kiss the other person. Too soon, and it will look as though you are desperate. Too late, and the moment flies away. So be ready and enjoy when the time comes.

Keep Your Eyes Closed
To feel the magic of your first kiss take over, just close your eyes and feel the moment instead of staring at it. It not only adds the magic to your experience, but also makes you feel less weird.

The Right Place
The place where you have your first kiss also counts a lot. The place shouldn’t be cluttered and should be appealing to the eyes. It should have a touch of sensuality along with comfort.

Guess Who?
A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter systematically pasting “Love” stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them. The guy’s curiosity gets the better of him and he walks up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing.

Valentine for Osama
Little David comes home from first grade and tells his father that they learnt about the history of Valentine’s Day. “Since Valentine’s Day is celebrated for a Christian saint and we’re Jewish,” he asks, “will God get mad at me for giving someone else a valentine?”
David’s father thinks a bit, then says, “No, I don’t think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?”
“Osama Bin Laden,” David says.
“Why Osama Bin Laden?” his father asks in shock.
“Well,” David says, “I thought that if a little American Jewish boy could have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that maybe we’re not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he’d love everyone a lot. And then he’d start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn’t hate anyone anymore.”
His father’s heart swells and he looks at his boy with newfound pride and says, “David, that’s the most wonderful thing I’ve ever heard.”
“I know,” David says, “and once that gets him out in the open, the Marines shoot him!”
