Everyone has their own personal kissing style. (Don’t worry. We’re sure yours is awesome.) Fortunately, most of the time when two people start making out they adapt to each other’s style pretty fast. But what about those times when you finally get to the first kiss and it’s awkward, annoying, or awful? What then?

If you’re really into this person, don’t give up. It can get better. Here’s how:

• Know the elements of a good kiss. Psychology Today’s Attraction Doctor explains why we kiss, when we should kiss, and how men and women want to be kissed .

• Teach them without suggesting something is wrong. A guy’s perspective on mind blowing kisses and how to get them .

• There are lots of kisses to choose from. If you want to show them how to kiss better, these “Bad Girl kissing tricks” from Cosmo will give you plenty of ideas on how to approach it.

• Lead the way. Glamour helps you subtly initiate a better kiss . (Without bruising their ego.)

Have fun,
