How to Refuse a Kiss

Ever been in this sticky situation where your guy wanted to [[kiss]] you but you aren't ready? You might feel so pressured that they go for it when they aren't ready. Here are some simple steps to hint that you're just not ready.

Steps

1. Try not to give off the wrong signals if you do not want to be kissed. If that is so, try not to flirt suggestively or talk about kissing.
2. If you are out or on a date, and your boyfriend or girlfriend makes that move to kiss you, don't pull away and scare them. Just shake your head. If you pull away they may feel rejected.
3. Tell your boyfriend or girlfriend that you're not ready to kiss yet. If he or she really likes you, he or she will respect your wishes and wait until you are ready.
4. Tell them beforehand that you don't like kissing. This way they won't try to kiss you and if they do, then they probably aren't worth it.
5. Smile after you say no so they don't feel rejected. If you don't they might think you don't like them at all.
6. Give them "the cheek" by tilting your head slightly - they will get the hint.
7. If they are too insistant, just back off.


Tips


* Look in his or her eyes for about 3 seconds after you pull away. He or she should get the hint and stop.
* If you pull away but they still try to kiss you, take a step backwards and try and explain, and if they still try then they aren't worth it.
* Sometimes, he or she may put his or her hands on your face. This can be romantic...but if you don't want it, don't allow them to turn your face. A simple "No thank you" or shake of the head is better than pulling away and scaring them.
* If you just don't feel like kissing, tell them that you don't feel very good or you aren't in the mood. This will keep them from feeling too rejected.


Warnings

* Don't push him or her back, unless he or she is forcing him/herself on you in an inappropriate manner.
* And if someone does that they normally turn out to be a little controlling or abusive sometimes in relationships. Not all the time, but be careful with that.
