If you are a teenager or a "tween" then you are probably noticing you are beginning to feel differently about people. No longer are you 'just friends' with certain people. There are going to be some individuals you feel a stronger bond with or know you have affectionate feelings towards. Kissing is a way to demonstrate and explore the fondness you have with another person. Kissing is a skill as well as an art that can be learned. When you kiss someone, you can experience exotic feelings. Learning how to kiss can make what you experience the first time you kiss more enjoyable.

If you are new to kissing here are some of the basics to be aware of. That first kiss you have with someone is always special. Kissing for the very first time can be a nerve-racking experience. You may think about kissing in movies, it all looks so simple, natural, and perfect. However, in real life, kissing can be very different than what is demonstrated in the movies. If you want to learn how to kiss may take a bit of practice but by educating yourself you will gain the benefits.

For teens, kissing is a challenge to overcome, especially if you are shy. Kissing games are very popular among teens. Spin the bottle is one of the most popular kissing games of all time. When you play "spin the bottle", you are allowed to kiss someone without admitting that you may actually want to kiss that person.

The simple game structure to play spin the bottle is just a matter of having a group of boys and girls sit in a circle. Place the bottle in the middle of the circle, then everyone will take a turn spinning a bottle. When the bottle stops spinning the person it is pointing to is the person they kiss.

Other than kissing games, how can you tell if someone wants to kiss you? The first kiss is the hardest but it can also be the most special. It takes courage to kiss someone for the very first time and you hope that the person you kiss the first time knows how to kiss. You can make the experience be more enjoyable if you learn how to kiss before the first kiss.

When you are a teen, the signs that someone likes you and maybe wants to kiss you can include the following: they work with you on a school project, they call you to talk about schoolwork, and they sit with you in the lunchroom. If someone likes to hang out with you then they probably like you. When you are with this person if you are happy then you probably like him as well. These are signs that maybe a first kiss is a good idea.

What are the ways to convey that you want a boy to kiss you? You may be sending mixed signals without knowing it. Your nerve may be signaling "stand back" while you really want to be kissed. Try to stand or sit close to him and face-to-face is best. Look directly at his face and not off to the side on at the ground. Keep your arms to your side and not crossed in front of you. Try not to lean away from him. Get close, look into his eyes, and hold his hand. You may even ask him to put on or take off your necklace. That will get the two of you close together to allow a kiss to spontaneously occur.
