How do you get a girl to kiss you?

Gentlemen, if you are asking the question "how do you get a girl to kiss you" and you want the perfect answer, you've come to the right place.

The answer is this: you don't make a girl kiss you.

Girls do not do the kissing. Men do the kissing. Women, girls, and ladies get kissed. If you don't understand exactly what I'm saying here, then it's no wonder you are asking this question. You, my dear sir, have been taking exactly the wrong approach to the whole kissing thing.

In fact, if you are a man or a guy or a boy with the right dating skills, you will never ask the question: "how do I get a girl to kiss me?" Instead, you will always be asking the question: "How and when am I going to kiss this girl?" If a girl is attracted to you, she is asking herself this question: "When is he going to kiss me?" In that situation, a girl wants to be kissed. A girl does not ask herself this question: "When am I going to kiss him?" Gentlemen, if you are waiting for a girl to kiss you, you are going to be waiting a long time. Girls want to be kissed but they don't want to do the kissing.

Kissing is about confidence and it is the gauge all women use to measure a man's confidence. If you are trying to get a girl to kiss you, then you have zero confidence. You are afraid that if you try to kiss the girl, she will reject you. Guess what? Everyone has that fear about every dating interaction. Get over it. Us women are scared too. We're scared when you don't kiss us. As we're wondering why you're not trying to kiss us, we're also wondering if you think we're too fat, too ugly, too smelly, too short - you name it. We're thinking it. Aside from being a nice act, kissing reassures us that we're okay, that we're attractive. If you don't kiss us, then you're saying that you think we're unattractive. Would you want somebody to tell you that you were ugly? So kiss the girl already. She wants you to kiss her because she wants to know that you like her. She wants a signal. Girls are just as confused about you as you are about them.

Here are some basic tips about when to kiss a girl and when not to kiss a girl. I'm just tossing these in here as a bonus because this article is a little short and I want you to get maximum value out of it and also put a stop to any notion that any guy on this planet might have that he can do something to get a girl to kiss him. So here they are:

• Don't wait long - if you're in a dating situation, you should give yourself a maximum number of dates you will go before you move in for a kiss, like three. Most women think that three is probably a bit long, but it's also not too long that we'll think you're weird either. The reason for the date maximum is who wants to waste that much time finding out if there's any chemistry there? And guess what, if that first date goes well, she'll want to be kissed. Too many guys think that if they wait to kiss a girl they're increasing their chances of success. It's exactly the opposite.
• Make that first kiss short, sweet, and gentle - The key to the first kiss is to leave the girl wanting more. Make sense? That first kiss should not be about proving what a great kisser you are or how long you can kiss or how long your tongue is. It should be brief. No matter how nervous you are, try to make it seem like the most natural thing in the world. You can linger a bit, but don't overstay your welcome. A short, good kiss shows a woman that you know what you're doing and have confidence that she'll want more.
• Don't say anything - The only reason you should open your mouth is to part your lips as you move in for the kiss. Absolutely, positively don't allow any words to come out of your mouth, like asking, for example. Never ask a girl if you can kiss her. Just do it. You'll find out right away if she's going to let you.
• Move slowly - In reference to the point above, since you're not going to say anything, you need to move at a slow, predictable pace. She's not an escaped chicken you have to jump on. As you move in, the girl will know what's going on, but you've got to give her a chance to react. If you're going light speed because you're nervous or whatever, the girl might duck out of the way. Move too fast and you give away that you're lacking confidence.

Men can be kind of dense sometimes, just like any person pining for another person. Here are some worst-case scenarios in case something unthinkable happens. What to do if:

• The girl gives you the cheek - If a girl is attracted to a guy, she kisses him. If she's not, she doesn't. It's pretty simple. Yes, it's possible she's a prude, but then you've got an entirely different problem on your hands. Move on.
• The girl gives you a hug instead - Same as above.
• The girl dodges your kiss - Same as above. Are you getting the message yet? Don't waste time on her. This is the translation of the last three things. In other words, this is what the girl would be saying if she were saying something: "Hey, sorry guy, but I'm not attracted to you and don't want you to waste your time, but I don't want to come out directly and say that and hurt your feelings."
• The girl backs away and screams at the top of her lungs - First of all, you might be a rapist or somebody wrote "murderer" with a sharpie on your forehead after you passed out at that party last night. Look, this should never happen to a guy in his lifetime, so if this happens, something has gone seriously wrong. Women don't scream for no reason, so you've just frightened one to a pretty high level. Clearly, whatever approach you have taken is about as far from working as humanly possible.
• The girl slaps you - Not quite the same as above, but pretty close. The main difference is that in the previous scenario, the girl is probably scared of you and feels that you represent a larger threat than any slap is likely to prevent. In this scenario, the girl doesn't consider you a physical threat and feels a slap will solve her problem. So not only is your kiss unwarranted, but he girl probably thinks you're a wuss too.
• The girl throws up on you - The good news here is that there was probably a millisecond or so where the girl thought she actually wanted to be kissed, but then a unconscious repulsion to you in her brain triggered a physical reaction and she now realizes that she's not attracted to you. Still, bonus points if you pulled away before she vomited.
• The girl has a seizure and dies - Actually, of all of these, this one might not mean that she's not attracted to you because she probably had a pre-existing medical condition and was about to croak anyway. Don't feel bad. At least wait for the autopsy. And remember, don't run from the scene. After you're exonerated of responsibility, you should at least think up a cool nickname for yourself like "lady killer" or something.

So, you've asked the question: "How do I get a girl to kiss me?" and you've read this article. Do you know the answer? You better. However, here's a little secret I've left until the very end. You actually can get a girl to kiss you, but she's going to have to be your girlfriend or your wife first. Once the girl is your girlfriend or your wife, she'll kiss you a lot.
