4 Kissing Clues: What They Say About Him

1. If His Eyes Are Opened Or Closed

When your date’s eyes are open for the mouth-to-mouth, he’s totally in the moment. Unlike women—who often prefer to close their eyes and really feel the connection—men are visual creatures when it comes to sex.

2. How He Angles His Head

When you’re going in for the kiss, a man who goes for the sideways smooch and really tilts his head (so you don’t have to do all the neck work) is often capable of compromise. Meanwhile, the straight-ahead kisser—a far more teasing approach—may be spontaneous and more self-centered.

3. How He Moves His Tongue

If he leads the way with a wide-open mouth and lots of tongue, he’s passionate. But if he goes too far with the tonsil tickling, he’s probably selfish. And if he avoids all tongue, he may be wary of coming on too strong.

4. What His Technique Is

The man who sticks with the same rhythm for the whole kiss and doesn’t adjust to your speed or intensity may lack the skills to attune to your needs. As for the guy who adapts, he’s most likely a good communicator.
