You have nothing to prove and nothing to lose. Kissing is a two way street and the guy is probably more nervous than you are. Take deep breaths, but don't make it too obvious that you're trying to calm yourself down. Passionate kissing can be frenzied, calm and meditative, or anywhere in between. There is an unspoken process where both parties will try to match the type of passion the other is aching for. It helps to synchronize breathing rates. A good way to begin building sexual tension is to keep him talking. Be in a location that is secluded. Having the option to sit is an extra bonus. Just keep a conversation no matter how mundane it feels. The bleaker the conversation the higher your chances are that he's thinking about kissing you. A great way to signal that you're ready to kiss is to go back and forth from looking at his eyes and his lips. This will create tension that is necessary to have a truly passionate kiss. If he repeats and looks at your lips, he is ready for those kissing sparks to fly. There are ways of being sly about getting close to him, but you want this move to be obvious. This is another clue for him to know that you want to start kissing. It will help if your bodies are slightly touching. Even if your body contact is ever so slight, it will feel exciting. Try and keep the conversation going, and touch him on the thigh or his arm. Another good spot to excite and comfort him is to put your hand behind his neck. Be sure to keep your eyes fixed on his eyes, but take quick glances at his lips. Tilt your head slightly and move close to his face and pause right before you reach his face. You shouldn't do all the work, but initiating the kiss yourself will excite him. It isn't as popular for the girl to make the first move, but there isn't a rule book to kissing!

Summary: Relax. Match the energy of the person you're with. Keep a conversation. Use your eyes. Lean close to him. Touch him. Move in for the kiss.

There is a direct correlation between mental and physical health, and one will suffer if you neglect the other. Make sure you prioritize your body so that your brain is well equipped to handle stress and difficult or bad thoughts. Exercise 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. Eat a balanced diet and avoid junk foods. Hydrate with 6-8 full glasses of water each day. Get 6-8 hours of regular sleep each night. Shown time and time again to promote positive thinking and mental health, meditation is the process of clearing your mind and coming to peace with your thoughts. Find 10-15 minutes a day to sit quietly with your thoughts. Focus on your breathing and let your thoughts drift freely. As you progress you'll find yourself taking more and more time to meditate, and your bad thoughts will start to slowly fade into the background. Most people feel bad thoughts creeping in when they imagine their future, creating stress and insecurity. Write down your goals, then break them up into small, manageable tasks you can tackle easily. Celebrate when you hit milestones, and always you're your end goal in sight when things get tough. For example, you might be worried about thoughts that you will never finish the novel you dream of writing. Instead of worrying, set aside 30 minutes a day to write. As you get more comfortable, make it 1 hour, then 2 hours until you have a few chapters to start editing. If you find that you can't stick to the amount of time that you set, don't get down on yourself. Simply adjust the timetable to make it work for you. Laughing away accidents and misfortune is one of the best ways to stay sharp and sane. Humor will "re-set" negative events in a positive manner, ending the stress and worry. Laughter will give you much needed perspective on your thoughts and make it easier to keep bad thoughts at bay. Laugh at yourself too you shouldn't take your life so seriously that you forget to enjoy it. Laughter is contagious, so join people who laugh a lot or tell jokes. If you gravitate towards people who like to laugh, you'll find yourself laughing more as well. Just knowing that there is someone who you can be open and honest with can make bad thoughts seem much less daunting. Building trust with someone takes time, and you'll need to be a little vulnerable sharing your concerns with another person, but having this bond will ultimately help you realize that you are not alone. You can deal with your bad thoughts when they appear, and there will be someone to help you. If you feel like you can't share your thoughts with someone for whatever reason, consider making an appointment with a professional therapist. They are trained to listen well and help you work through your problems.

Summary: Take care of your body. Begin a meditation practice. Work towards long-term goals. Have a sense of humor when faced with hardship. Find a friend or family member that you can be honest with.

Different brands and different products within that brand will have different instructions. One type of hair removal might take only three minutes, while another might take ten. Following the directions will give you the best results and help protect your skin. If you lost the directions that came with your cream, you can find them on the bottle or tube. Otherwise, check the company's website. They should have instructions for each kind of cream. Check the "use by" date to make sure your cream is not expired. An expired depilatory cream will not work very well and give you poor results. Use your fingers or a spatula, if provided. Do not rub the cream into your skin, just spread it. Wash your hands immediately if you apply with your fingers. Uneven application means your hair could come off in patches, leaving you with spots of hair, which is probably not the look you're going for. Never apply a hair removal cream to your nostrils, ears, the skin around your eyes (including your eyebrows), genitals, anus, or nipples. This can be anywhere between three to ten minutes, though the time rarely exceeds ten minutes. Most directions recommend checking a small area about halfway through the process to see if hair comes off. The shorter the amount of time the depilatory cream is in contact with your skin, the less likely you are to develop redness or irritation. Because you can really harm your skin if you leave the cream on too long, set an egg timer or use the timer on your phone to make sure you don't exceed the limit. Some tingling is normal, but if you start to feel burning, see redness or irritation, remove the cream immediately. Depending on your reaction, you may want to call your doctor for advice on how to treat your skin. You may notice a bad smell while you are using the cream. That's a normal side effect of the chemical reaction that is breaking down your hair. Wipe gently--don't rub the cream. Rinse the area with warm water to make sure the cream has been removed entirely. If you don't rinse off the residue, the chemicals could continue to react with your skin and cause a rash or chemical burn. Pat, don't rub, your skin dry. Apply a moisturizer to the area to keep it smooth and hydrated. Wear loose clothing right after using the cream and don't scratch the area. If the redness and discomfort continues after a few hours or gets worse, call your doctor. You should also wait 24 hours to use anti-perspirant or products with fragrances. You should not shave or use a hair removal cream in the same area for 72 hours after use.
Summary: Read the directions that came with the cream and follow them exactly. Apply a thick, even layer over the hair you want to remove. Leave the cream on for the amount of time recommended in the directions. Remove the cream with a damp washcloth or spatula if provided. Don't worry if your skin is a little red or itchy after use--that's normal. Observe any warnings in the directions, such as avoiding sunbathing, swimming, and tanning for 24 hours.
