International Kissing Day: 6th July 2014
(PRWEB UK) 23 July 2014 -- Pucker up people! National and International Kissing Day (June 19th and July 6th respectively) have recently passed. But how important is a good kiss to a relationship? Would you really be put-off by someone whose lips leave a lot to be desired?
Cupid.com, one of the largest dating sites in the UK says never fear. In a recent kissing survey Cupid.com found that more than half of the UK’s 20-40 year olds would not end a potential romance because of a bad first kiss. Men are more forgiving than women. Sixty-six per cent of guys agree that a sloppy smooch would not dissuade them, whereas 54% of women would just say no.
Cupid.com dating expert and the UK’s leading matchmaker Danielle Waller says: “If you want your first date to run smoothly then avoid any lip induced blushing. A kiss takes our senses to a new level. Touch, taste and smell all work really hard to tell us how compatible we are. We can't help but judge a first kiss by how good it feels, but there is also a lot going on unconsciously to signal if there is a connection there or not. I have heard many date stories over the years - the good and the bad, and these real life experiences have helped me formulate six do’s and don’ts for kissing on that first date”:
DO: Keep things slow.
DON’T: Make it sloppy!
DO: Close your eyes when you kiss.
DON’T: Get your teeth involved.
DO: Make sure you have fresh breath.
DON’T: Get carried away in public (no one wants to see that)
