Have you ever leaned in for the kiss and realised that you don't really know what you're doing? Kissing is one of those strange disciplines that require both experience and imagination to master, but are near impossible to receive any real advice on. It's one thing to ask for pointers, and another entirely to find someone to practice on! With kissing forming the backbone of any romantic relationship, it's a skill that we all need to master, and by applying information and mastering our experiences, we can transform kissing from something we're self conscious about to a true strength.
A great kiss starts and ends with confidence. In fact, every single aspect of the dating and relationship world is built on unstoppable confidence. The problem with simply saying that confidence is the beginning and end of kissing success is that it doesn't truly impart anything. There's no practical advice; no real lesson taught. It's important to create confidence, not only in your kissing, but in all aspects of your life.
Think about the things that you're good at. Whether they're sports, artistic skills, or special skills that only you possess, they bring you confidence in that area and also in smaller quantities to other areas of your life. It's a strange fact of the way we work -- when we're supremely confident in one area it translates across all areas of our lives. In order to master your kissing, you need to realise that it's a skill that doesn't necessarily stand isolated from your other social skills.
Next time you're out with a partner and are ready to kiss, go in with confidence and a sense that things will go well. No matter how good you are at technical kissing, simply entering with confidence will improve your abilities. It's like a sporting maneuver -- when you enter the play with confidence, your entire abilities are more fluid, streamlined and powerful. You don't simply execute the play, you perform it with an effortless feel, and master every aspect of it. This is how you should approach kissing.
It's also important to filter your kissing advice selectively. Don't just take advice from anyone, listen to the people that you look up to. Great kissing starts with a great connection, and when you've mastered the advice from people that are great at making those connections, you can apply it to your kissing, dating, and general romantic life. Good kissing begins and ends with confidence, both the confidence to know that your kiss will go well, and the confidence to know that it will be well accepted. This isn't the entirety of kissing, though. When you understand not only that your kiss will be well recieved, but that the connection between you two will make it a real event, you've mastered kissing confidence.
