kissing, how and where

[Sundaki]

I've given my girlfriend pecks goodbye and such, but haven't kissed kissed her yet. I don't know where to do it, because I think it would be awkward in front of all of our friends. I also don't know how to start. Do I just ask?

do it alone, not in front of people. find a quiet spot when you're saying goodbye, look her in the eyes, and see if her eyes alternate between your eyes and your lips. if they are, that's a sure sign she wants to kiss you. but if she's not, don't worry, some people just don't do that. slowly move in, and if she moves in as well everything is good. just meet her lips and BAM! you've kissed.

If you want to take a different approach, dont' be afraid to just ask. Depending on the relationship you have with her, it might be awkward, or not at all. you just ask her "hey so what's your opinion on kissing" or something of that sort, and just let it go from there. KEep talking, and, again, depending on your relationship, you might be able to ask her a certain way if you can kiss her. Something like "why don't we practice a little bit" or just flat out out saying "can i kiss you" works too. Good luck!
