More often than not, the first kiss is the clincher for couples; it is the one that helps them make up their mind on whether they wish to kiss the opposite person again. Here are seven great kissing tips to help young men make their first kiss a memorable one and then build upon that success. 

First kisses are confusing because neither of you know exactly how the other person will respond. Swapping saliva with a bad kisser can be disappointing and discouraging, to say the least! But if the chemistry is right, a first kiss can turn into a cinematic moment where time slows down ... music swirls in the background ... and your head spins in so many directions that you don't know whether you're standing on earth or in heaven.

IDEA # 51

When your partner is sitting at a table or desk, come up behind him or her and give her a back, shoulder and head massage. Finish with a gentle kiss on the cheek.

IDEA # 52

Place an ad in the paper on a normal day saying something like:

Dear Amanda,
With you by my side, everyday
feels like Valentines Day.
Thank you for being you.
Love,
Graham

IDEA # 31

When you and your partner are in a shopping center or airport, stop at one of those booths that allow you to take an instant photo and print them out as stickers. Choose a romantic background and kiss your partner while the photo is being taken.

IDEA # 32

If your partner has voice mail at work or on her mobile, leave a message saying "Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you." She will appreciate this anytime but especially when she is going through a rough period.

There's no telling what a pair of attractive single love-seekers might do in a darkened room when they're left to their own devices.

Unless you're filming them with night vision technology, that is.

The new Foxtel love quest show Dating In The Dark gives viewers the inside scoop on what goes on between two people when they let their barriers down - the good, the bad and the eyeball licking. (Yes, that's right. Eyeball licking).

Host Laura Dundovic explains the premise of the show is to remove people's looks from the equation as a group of three men and three women who have been profiled to have similar interests and attitudes start dating in a pitch black room.

"It take the whole looks thing out of dating, for the most part," the 2008 Miss Australia tells AAP on set at Whale Beach, on Sydney's northern beaches.

"Attraction is not so much about looks as it's about chemistry - that might be someone's charisma or the energy they give off, not necessarily about how they look.

"What makes it different to other dating shows is that you're able to absolutely isolate personality."

One of the things that really blew my mind when I got here was just how much Russian Women respect each other’s beauty without being jealous.

With all the girls I have ever know I have never met a Russian girl who ever showed any hint of jealousy towards another attractive woman. In fact just the opposite is true. I could be with a date walking down the street and the two of us could pass another group of beautiful girls and I will not hesitate to look at them. Nor would I ever “pretend” to NOT look at them.

Almost always the Russian girls that I am with will just smile at me innocently and say..

“Russian Women are really beautiful.. Yes?”

And I’ll just smile back and say..

“Yes.. they sure are…”

As you can guess.. this one little thing says a WHOLE LOT about their general character.ur life.

Well GL I’m going call you out .. just a bit .. on this one. I would guess about 10 maybe 20% of the women are cute in N. America. It’s just that they have horrendous attitudes, just awful. The rest “think” that they are 8 – 10 ’s when they most certainly are not even close.

IDEA # 41

Buy a tree with your partner and plant it in a special spot. Each year on your anniversary, have a glass of champagne next to your tree and talk about how your love and the tree have grown.

IDEA # 42

If you shower first in the morning. Steam up the bathroom and write a message such as "Pete Loves Kathy" on the mirror for your partner to read when she uses the bathroom. This also works on car windows when it's cold.

Falling in love is wonderful, it’s exciting and truly the adventure of a lifetime. I believe in Love at First Sight and I believe in people being “meant for each other”. I also believe that learning to love and be loved is a life long learning experience. That is what this article is about.

There are different ways of looking at love. If you feel love in your heart for your partner, you might consider yourself “In Love” with them. That is a wonderful thing, and obviously where it all starts. Staying in love means you need to “do love”, not just feel it. It means you take time to communicate, compromise, and deeply relate to each other.

Let’s face it; if you’re looking for advice on marriage, you could spend DAYS researching on the internet without even scratching the surface of all the marriage advice that’s out there.

But the sad fact is, that’s what most people in your situation do…they RESEARCH…but never ACT on the concepts and ideas they learn about because they come up with “excuses” for why THEIR situation is DIFFERENT.

Well let me tell you….your situation is NOT different. And as EXTREME as MY marriage was…my “situation” was NOT different either…
