How do you know you should kiss someone?
I have never kissed anyone (age 25)..and as much as I would like to do that, I think I am scared to. I don't know when someone would want to kiss me. People have told me later that they wanted to at the time...but I didn't know that. Shouldn't the man be the initiator of this anyways?

No, the man does not have to be the initiator. I think kissing is a great way to flirt. If you're ever in a situationo where you're not sure whether or not to lean in and pucker up, just say a simple, sweet, "can I kiss you?"

That used to be the case that a man should initiate a relationship, but womens rights activists have faught so much for equal opportunity that men no longer are the initiators. Most men are afraid to be accused of being a pervert or even afraid of offending a woman.

Thats kinda a sexist view, if you want to kiss someone that you like, you can either do it, or be dorky and ask if you can kiss them. Most single people will tend to say yes if they are even slightly interested, its just a kiss after all.

You could always initiate, of course. But it could be awkward if you're mistaken on the guys feelings.
I would suggest you to ask the guy if he wouldn't like to kiss you. Look into his eyes and just ask that. I guarantee, this will be a moment of pure magic ;-).

OK, I think you have to get over the fact that you haven't "made out" yet. you need to get a good friend and practice...yes, sounds crazy, but it will help if you haven't done it before, then you won't feel so scared to try. But, know this, not everyone is a good kisser, some are better, some are worse.

Generally you can kind of feel the vibe... I know it can be tough but if you really feel the vibe you can always just ask. If I really want to kiss a guy I'm out with I usually ask... and usually the answer is yes!

The man is never the iniator. It is always the woman. But in your case either just go for it, ask first. You also have to wait for the right moment. Usually its before "consummation"

If you are into a man enough to kiss him, go for it! The worse that could happen is a rejection and midly embarrassing moment. Don't sweat it! Now losing your virginity.....that's a new one.

I always knew by the butterflies i get and the uncontrollable urge to do it. Start off slow to see if she wants it and then go with what ever feels right at the moment!

Why should the man be the initiator? If you wnt to , do it. He may be feeling the same way you do. If your that worried about how he would react then ask him if you can.
