How to figure out whether your partner is ready to kiss you?

If you see one or a combination of these indicators, there is a good chance that your partner is thinking about kissing you.

• Eyes become soft and heavy
• Eye contact is made and sustained
• Head turns slightly
• Lips are licked or bitten
• He or she brushes your hand, touches you on the shoulder or leg, or fidgets with an accessory)
• Easy conversation comes to a stop, but eye contact is not broken
• Your partner smiles in conjunction with any of the above behaviors

When are you ready for kissing?

To give your partner the cue that you wish to kiss him or her, you can try one or a combination of these things.

• Soften your gaze by relaxing the muscles around your eyes, somewhat like smiling but without engaging your mouth
• Smile often, though
• Make eye contact and allow it to linger for a few moments longer than you normally would
• Find ways to subtly (but respectfully) touch your partner
