Kissing tips:From dating and relationship
expert Shannon Tebb:
Its best to move inslowly and make sure
your partner is awareyou are coming
Tilt your headslightly to avoidbumping noses andclose your
eyes
Start o slowly, and
then build up to a fasterpace if desired
Always havefresh breath
Moisten your lipsregularly, but ladies dont kiss too soon
after applying glossor lip stick
Use your hands andarms to caress your
partners face or hairwhile kissing or to
embrace
