Ok ladies (and any gentlemen if you're reading this board), I thought I would post something a bit funny, but that I actually need advice on LOL. Feel free to laugh, I laugh about this, and especially feel free to get your minds off your other concerns and go back to days of crushes and new relationships for a bit.

Here it is, some of you read my happy post about the new guy, Darian, that I am seeing. We haven't been seeing each other long, just about a week, and have been out three times in that week. We get along great and he's very sweet about my pregnancy and very supportive. He is everything that my ex wasn't, dependable, attentive, and definately more into me then I am to him. So, what's the problem you might ask. HE CAN'T KISS!!! I mean it is seriously bad. Everytime he kisses me I just want to pull away, but I enjoy cuddling and hand holding and stuff. It's not that I don't want to kiss him, it's just so bad. I don't want to tell him he can't kiss cause we just met and all. I've tried taking control and showing him how I like it, but he just thinks I'm getting more into what he's doing and it gets worse. So, I'm looking for creative ideas to solve this problem as it looks like he would like to be around for a while (he's even planning on coming over to visit lots after the baby is born and bring movies and stuff to watch).

Yes, I know compared to what we're all going through and have been through this is very trivial and off topic, but I thought it might be a good way to lighten things up a bit and for me to get some good advice. LOL

Been in a similar situation. However, the lousy kisser became the love of my life making every kiss sweeter (plus we had lots of practice). Keep the kisses simple for now that way you can come up with a combination that belongs exclusively to the two of you. Just be patient. Physical chemistry really has nothing to do with the long-term success of a relationship. It's actually the part that makes us forget to use our BRAINS! Have fun practicing! If a couple of months down the road, it is still terrible, be very honest with him then maybe he'll be more receptive to learning "how". Be careful though. The male ego is very fragile. He may jump to the conclusion that because you don't like the way he kisses, you think he's a jerk. I don't know why they come up with those conclusions, but they do! Good luck!

Jayna,
I agree with Coach4Him. Keep the kisses simple and sweet and he will get the idea. I have been in the same situation. I kept them S&S and now its better. I you end up really liking him, it won't matter if he improves or not. It'll give you something to always laugh about.

Jayna,
Yeah funny situation. I too have been in this situation. This guy was terrible!!!!!
I had to teach him how to kiss. Slow and sweet is right. When you feel comfortable ... tell him gently or very sexy ... how you like it! Maybe the guys here will back me up ... I have been told (by men) that it is a turn on to be told "how" we like "things" (G rated here) to be. Worth a try! If he is not interested in the way you like things ... he is not interested enough else where.
Good luck ... this could be VERY fun!

Ok, update on the kissing situation. . . we got together again tonight. I dropped some subtle hints (I like these type kisses best and I'm into this) and he seemed to pick up on them. So it's getting better, he's still not good at it, in my opinion, but definately improvement (yay!!!!). Had a WONDERFUL time tonight. We're getting together again on saturday, so please keep the advice coming. . . seems to be working so far. Thanks for all your help, I can't wait til saturday LOL
