"A date could be going swimmingly&amp;amp;#8212;he&amp;#x27;s cute, fun, attentive&amp;amp;#8212;but then he goes in for the kiss and bonk: It&amp;#x27;s ended on a subpar note. I&amp;#x27;m assuming most of us have been there, and in my opinion, I always think a kiss is worth revisiting a second&amp;amp;#8212;or even third&amp;amp;#8212;time. But sometimes kissing incompatibility is a bigger issue and calls for some gentle coaching. For instance&amp;amp;#133; A friend of mine came to me with a make-out dilemma. All in all, she had a wonderful first date with an adorable guy, but when it came to the goodnight kiss, it measured a five on the awesome scale. In her words, he was a tad &amp;amp;#8220;overzealous,&amp;amp;#8221; meaning that he moved his mouth too much, and it ended up feeling more awkward than sexy. She asked what she could do to teach him how to be a better kisser, so I called in an expert on the subject: Amy Levine, sex coach and founder of Ignite Your Pleasure. She offered up these helpful tips on how to subtly coax him to slow down and take it easy. Show him the way. Initiate by teasing him with intimate kissing techniques when he least expects, since once his mouth starts moving too much, it&amp;#x27;s going to be tricky to tame him. Instead, sensuously nibble or gently suck on his lip, and give him a tender surface lip kiss. Then, start to set the pace for a more intense make-out using a shallow tongue and tenderly touch his face so it keeps you both at an intimate distance (and prevents him from playing tonsil hockey). If he starts to get overzealous, seductively pull back and make your way to his ear as a segue to reset. Then whisper in his ear how you want him to kiss you. You can say something like, &amp;quot;It makes me hot when you kiss me tenderly.&amp;quot; Or, &amp;quot;Let&amp;#x27;s tease each other&amp;#x27;s lips.&amp;quot; Have you ever had a date go pear shaped with a kiss? Do you think it&amp;#x27;s worth offering up techniques and hoping he&amp;#x27;ll catch on? And, how long do you think she should give it before skedaddling?
