Article: No one likes to kiss an ash tray or a mouth full of onion and garlic flavor. Pop a breath mint in before you go in to kiss her. It also wouldn't hurt to do a quick check-up in a mirror first, if possible, to make sure you don't have anything in your teeth. If no mirror is available, run your tongue around your teeth to make sure they're clean. Rough lips are a turn off. If your lips are all cracked and gross, she's probably not going to want to kiss you. Try using lip balm regularly, and don't be afraid to put a bit on leading up to the kiss. You can discreetly put some lip gloss on by going to the bathroom or by looking away for a moment. Don't put too much on, as you don't want to create an oil slick for kissing. Try to pick a romantic spot. For instance, in a park by a river is nice, much better than, say, the back alley behind a restaurant. Also, try to choose a place where there aren't too many people around. If people are milling around, it can kill the romance. Try to pick a place she feels comfortable. If she's not comfortable, the kiss won't be enjoyable for her. If you haven't quite got up the nerve, even though you've asked, you can stall a bit by touching her face. You can also gentle tilt her head towards you so you can kiss her more easily. Always be looking for signs of nonverbal communication. For instance, if you reach out to touch her and she pulls away, you should stop. Once you've stopped and picked the perfect spot plus got her consent, it's time to go in for the kiss. Lean in closer, puckering lips a bit as you go. You want to make sure they have some definition to them for kissing, so your girlfriend has something to kiss. If she pulls away, let her. When you're ready, pull back again. If this relationship is still new, you may be a little nervous. If you are, don't worry, the hard part is over. Just relax and enjoy the kiss. Focus on enjoying the moment. Try not to think about whether you're doing it right or what's going to happen in a few minutes. This tip is to help you out, not because of who's standing around. That is, a little tongue is okay, but no one likes to be attacked by a tongue like a dog. Keep it tasteful. For instance, you can try lightly licking across her lips, but try not to lap her whole face.

What is a summary?
Make sure you're fresh. Take care of your lips. Pick a good place. Cradle or touch her face. Lean in for the kiss. Relax into the kiss. Keep your tongue under control.
