Ok so the issue is a guy that im seeing is coming down to visit this weekend, and its going to be the first time we spend any real time together b/c he is a college student in Ann Arbor, MI and im a high school student in OH. At 21, he is 4 years older than me. I have never made out with a guy before, and I'm nervous that I won't do it right or that I'll disappoint him. He has a lot more experience in all that stuff than I do and I just want to make sure that he isn't let down. Guys, any advice on what you like from a girl when making out, or anyone, tips for how to do it effectively? Thanks a lot and if someone could respond asap I'd appreciate it!!!

Before anything happens, you'll have to flirt and get more used to being around each other. Before kissing it's important to break the "touch barrier". Hand on the shoulder, leaning in when saying something (anything), being relaxed, and just generally being playful and touchy-feely is a good way to create a kissing environment.
When the actual kiss comes, usually you wait for some kind of signal. Usually this is a gradual mutual signal, like when two people seem interested and slowly move their heads closer together. You want to pay attention to his head tilt at this point. You should tilt your head in the opposite direction as his for lips to easily touch.
What happens next varies on the individual. A basic technique you could follow would be to "close in" so to speak with your mouth slightly open, gently closing it onto his lips. This is a good way to start as it can progress into either open or closed mouth kissing. To avoid nose bumping, a good position to get into is to have your head tilted (once again, note the head tilt) so that the top and bottom of your lips are on the corners of his. Head on-kissing can always work, but it's harder to make out in that position.
Once you are kissing, that "making out" part is where it really depends on the individual. Make sure to stick to your comfort level, and to be relaxed so you can respond to what he's doing. If you have no real preference, you can see what he does and imitate it if you like it. There are a lot of ways to make out, with and without tongue. For specific technique, there is no "right" or "wrong" thing to do. Generally, however, making sure your breath is fresh, swallowing while kissing to avoid slobbering, and remembering to breathe are good things to do.
Good luck this weekend, and overall, don't think too too much about the kissing. Remember that technique doesn't matter as long as you are enjoying each other's company and having a good time together. [ junebug93's advice column | Ask junebug93 A Question ]
