If you’ve been moving things along with teasing, flirting, social proof, climbing kino, or any other attraction-building technique, then the first kiss is just one more small step. That said, it’s good to give him a kiss test to avoid possible awkward moments…

Here is an easy kiss test that you can use to determine if she is ready to be kissed or not. Gently stroke her hair with your fingers and ask her what kind of shampoo she uses. When she responds, you can also move your head closer to hers and smell her hair. If her body language doesn’t pull away from you, then you know she’s ready for the kiss. Touching a woman’s hair and especially smelling her hair is a very intimate thing for a woman. She will only allow you to do this if she is very comfortable with you.

Another thing you can do is ask, “Hey, are you good at kissing?” Regardless of how he responds, keep going and keep the conversation flowing. You could add something like “You know, I can tell a lot about a girl by the way she kisses a man.” Then I could playfully turn my face to the side and point to my cheek, nonverbally signaling him to kiss me. Here, she could give me a quick peck on the cheek in which she would proceed to bust her balls. Something like “Wow, really girl. That was the most pathetic kiss ever. 2 out of 10…maybe 3 max.” From there, she might try to give you a better peck on the cheek the second time. Better yet, she could challenge you to beat her 2 out of 10 score by asking her to kiss her on the cheek. Anyway, you know that she is interested in you right now.

If she tells you to return the favor and kiss her on the cheek, do it very slowly and romantically. Slowly move your hair out of the way exposing your cheek. Hold her arm with one of your hands as you gently pull her close to you and kiss her very lightly on her cheek. Keep your lips on her cheek for a couple of seconds. He even adds a little whisper in her ear after the kiss. Something like “I know you liked it” or “mmmm…you smell good.” Of course, don’t be too serious about this, you want to make it clear that you’re just having fun. But still make sure you whisper very sensually using a slow deep voice as this will turn her on.

Now that you know she’s ready, it’s just a matter of going to kiss her when you feel the time is right. The above are just a couple of kiss tests that will give you more self-confidence knowing that she wants you to kiss her.

When you kiss her, do it with intention. Even if you haven’t played the situation perfectly, accepting the kiss with confidence and conviction will often be enough to instantly create that romantic movie moment for her. This is a very powerful moment for a woman and by doing so, you are giving her something very special.
