CRUSHES

4 secrets to avoid makeout mishaps
Breathe
It may sound silly, but sometime when you’re caught in the moment air is the last thing on your mind. If you feel out of breath but don’t want to push him away and gasp for air, take a little break by kissing his cheek or neck then going back to his lips when you’ve taken a few subtle breaths.
Be prepared
Try to keep gum and Chap Stick close at hand if you think you might get a kiss at the end of your date, but being prepared is more than having soft lips and sweet breath. Don’t kiss someone you don’t want to because it’s a dare or because your friends are pushing you too, even if you like him. If you’re nervous your mouth will be dry and so will your lips. If he’s the right guy, then your kiss can wait ‘til you’re ready.
To tongue or not to tongue?
If you’ve been kissing for a while and you haven’t gotten any tongue action then try to kiss slower and open your mouth a little wider. If he still isn’t getting the hint then lick his lips and wait until he licks back, don’t just shove your whole tongue into his mouth. Once the tongues have been introduced twist yours around his and just enjoy the ride.
Lip Nibbling
Sometimes when you’re really into a kiss, and you’re in one of those feisty moods, try to give his lower lip a cute little bite. Don’t sink your teeth into him (this isn’t a vampire novel), but do give him a gentle nibble that lets him know you’re fun and like to shake things up a bit.
