Dear Me,

Well, I've made out with a boy once before, but I don't think I made out with him correctly. I mean, people ask me how to kiss and I can't explain. Tell me, how do you kiss someone? How would you explain to someone how to kiss? ---Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

You know, there's a reason why it's so hard to explain how to kiss, and it's not that you're doing it wrong; It's just not something you CAN explain. There is no wrong way to make out. If it felt right, then it's right. No one kisses the same way. No one should, either. We're all individuals. I'm a firm believer that looks come second. If I see a guy, I may think he's really good-looking, but he may end up being a total jerk, and then I'll start to see him as being rather unattractive. So, if you really like the person you're kissing, the kiss should be just as good as your feelings. If it feels wrong, it's not the kiss, it's the relationship. If people ask you how to kiss someone, I suggest you tell them that, because, as I said before, there is no wrong way to do it, but there IS such a thing as a bad relationship. ---Me

Dear Me,

I'm talking to a guy who says he talks to a lot of people (girls). We just ended up bumping into each other, but I've always had a crush on him, ever since he used to work at a local supermarket near my house. But how dod I tell him that I want to have a more than "let's get to know each other first by talking" relationship, even though he's tried to kiss me before? ---Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

OKay, so forgive me, I'm not quite sure I understand all of what you're saying, but I'll try: You're trying to get him to move on from just talking? Are you dating, or just friends, right now? If you're not dating yet, I would advise that you talk to him (as he enjoys that, anyway), and you explain how you feel and ask him if he ever plans on moving your status up a bit. If you are, then, again, try talking to him about this. Seriously. If he likes to talk, anyway, then try doing just that. Explain to him that you'd like there to be more, and get his stance on it. If he really does want to take it slow and not rush into things, then you really should respect his wishes, don't push him, and just deal with it, and I'm sure he'll come around in his own time. ---Me
