To consider not dating a guy because he is a bad kisser?

[KissAndTell]

Lovely evening, chatted loads, really fancy him.

End of the date and we kiss, but it's awful!!

I'm beyond disappointed. What do I do?!

Kissing is really important to me. I couldn't live the rest of my life kissing like that. Is there any hope?!

Amelia there are a lot of things I like about him. However, I'm not sure I'm ready for what a relationship with him might be like. One or the other of us would need to compromise, a lot. I like a lot of space, and he wants to see me all the time. I can't deal with that. So as well as being incompatible with kissing, I'm also backing off loads because I feel smothered.

Sounds like it's not meant to be.

It sounds like the proper chemistry isn't there after all then OP. Bugger.

If real amazing chemistry is there i believe the kissing issue would have resolved itself by now. (same kind of goes for other issues really).

I love a good slow kiss, and i'm good at it. I was (still am) absolutely wild about DH when we first met and couldn't wait to wrestle him into bed kiss him. He's so bloody sexy! Behaved with restraint though and let him come to me and on date 3 (!!) he finally kissed me. We bashed teeth and it wasn't good. Robotic and too rhythmic and .. 'munchie'. He told me he immediately loved the way i kiss though and came back in for lots more. Argh! I stuck with it and gradually his style started to match mine. Slowed right down, soft kisses to begin, bit of gentle teasing before going in for the whole full on snog sort of thing. He started to copy me and by the end of the week all was good.

He's so lovely though - i'd have happily spent every night for a year working on it if that's what it took

On the flip side, years ago i went out with a guy who i wanted to like so badly, because he was LOADED and so sweet and funny. His kiss was awful though (and he tasted like baked beans) and i knew i was forcing myself. He was ok looking, just no chemistry. Broke up with him after the first kiss. It's a fascinating subject IMO.

I've had the bad kisser - it was all so loose.

I felt like I was going to fall into a deep black hole.

This was part of a reason I ended things with a guy after a few dates. It was awful. He just kept putting his tongue in my mouth and just leaving it there, not moving or anything, just literally lying in my mouth.That and the fact that he kept spelling my name wrong (unusual spelling of a usual name) in texts etc. I jokingly pointed it out a couple of times but it kept happening. For some reason it really annoyed me.

Laiste I felt really excited about things at the beginning, but all enthusiasm has waned a bit now! I'll have to let him down gently as he is a really nice guy and perhaps we just met at the wrong time!
