The Top Kissing Complaints
You can tell a lot from a single kiss. Kissing can be passionate, send sparks and even burn calories but a kiss can also be just wrong. Pucker up and read on for our top ten kissing complaints and never have a bad kiss again.
Your Kiss wasn’t Asked For
Most people can tell if a date is going well or not. Perhaps, even by the end of the date you’ve already committed to a second outing with the person.

A Sloppy Kiss is a Bad Kiss
If you don’t know if you are a sloppy kisser, it’s easy to find out. Does your girlfriend discreetly wipe off her face after a kiss? Does kissing feel more like a washing machine than a passionate embrace? If yes, try swallowing your saliva before starting to smooch!
You Suffocate the Other Person
Kissing your partner should leave them weak in the knees not unconscious. If you go in for too deep of a kiss and your noses block each other, there is a good chance you could be suffocating your partner. Without waiting for your beloved to turn blue, a good sign of this is if he or she is constantly pulling away from the kiss but also going back in for more. If this happens, simply adjust your kissing angle.
The Staring Complaint
Although some people prefer to keep their eyes open during a kiss, until you know what your partner prefers or is comfortable with, keep your eyes closed and enjoy the moment. You wouldn’t want your partner to open her eyes to find yours staring at her from centimeters away.
Timing is Everything
A big kissing complaint comes with timing. Although it can be romantic to spontaneously lean in for a kiss over dinner, be sure your date hasn’t just taken a bite of food or drink or is in mid-conversation.
The Location of the Kiss is Wrong
Generally, if it’s a first kiss opt for puckering up when the two of you are alone. This will cease some of the first-kiss-nerves. Later, you can see if your date is ready for a public display of affection.
The Kiss is too Small or too Big
A deep and passionate kiss is great but not if your date isn’t ready for it. If it’s a first kiss, lean in gently and test the waters. Once you’ve gotten to know the person and their style of kissing you’ll feel confident for something more.

August 14,2011 at 09:20 amI had never met a really bad kisser until recently. He was the smothering kind and it made sence that he was that way in the rest of our relationship. It got the point that I just absolutly hated to kiss him because all it made me think about was being smothered by him for the rest of my life.Every-time he would pucker up big and go in for the kill. The more I pulled away so that I could breath or just escape from his heat the more he smothered. I am looking for something mature and long lasting and never thaught I waould be hoping to break up over some bad kissing but, well, I had never met a really bad kisser until recently. He was the smothering kind and it made sense that he was that way in the rest of our relationship. It got the point that I just absolutely hated to kiss him because all it made me think about was being smothered by him for the rest of my life.

June 23,2011 at 12:56 pmI agree with you! I think men tend to want french kissing most of the time while women see that as more of a accent to kissing.

December 25,2010 at 04:38 pmSuccinct and smart, as usual, Breezy!
I'm really not into counting things I don't like. I like to decorate the inside of my head with the good stuff? Most recent good stuff was a first kiss where the guy took my head between his two hands and very deliberately, emphatically kissed me and said, "I haven't met anyone like you in a lonnnggg time."
It is sort of unfortunate that the rest of that thought must have been, "but now I'm psyched to get back out there again and find lots more women like you," because dating him didn't work out well.:p Still, it was a noteworthy, memorable kiss.

December 25,2010 at 04:08 pmI just wanted to comment that I am not a huge fan of kissing at all. It seems like most guys I have dated have been lousy kissers in their own way, and I have not been rated the best either. I actually told my current significant other last night that I prefer to snuggle and cuddle and hold hands than to kiss. But he said he likes to kiss (this after a wet slobbery kiss that left drool hanging between our mouths as we drew apart), and I said I will do it if it's right. His final goodnight kiss was way better than the slobbery one, but still, not great. Although, he is so wonderful in other areas, I will forgive the kissing.
