Yeah so this week me and my partner started arguing more than usual. Seriously, like small stuff blew up into big fights. After one dumb spat about laundry, I realized we didn’t kiss much anymore. Not even a peck goodbye. That felt… off. Like something wasn’t connecting right. So I decided to actually pay attention to our kissing issues and fix ’em.
Spotting the Problems (Yeah, There Were a Few)
First thing I did? Watched how we kissed. Sounded weird, but worked. We were rushing through it. Like a chore. And timing? Terrible. Trying to kiss when she’s elbow-deep in dishwater? Bad move. She’d pull back looking annoyed. Also noticed our kisses got sloppy sometimes. Too much tongue when she clearly wanted soft. Or dead-fish lips from me when she wanted spark. Awkward.
My Simple Fix Game Plan
Okay, needed a plan. Didn’t wanna overcomplicate it. Decided on three things:
- Timing Check: No more interrupting her mid-task. Waited for relaxed moments – couch time, morning coffee.
- Ask, Don’t Assume: Actually started saying “Wanna slow kiss?” or “Just a quick smooch?” instead of diving in blind.
- Chill the Gooeyness: Kept a tissue handy (subtly!) for quick fixes if things got too wet. Seriously, nobody likes drool on their chin.
How It Actually Went Down
Tried this stuff over like, three days. Started simple. Tuesday morning, while she sipped coffee, leaned in slow and said “Good morning kiss?”. She smiled first! Small win. Gave a gentle, closed-mouth kiss – short and sweet. No drama.
Later, after dinner, paused Netflix. “More like this?” – gave a slightly deeper kiss, but kept it clean. She leaned in closer. Progress! Messed up once – forgot about the tissue thing and, yeah… she kinda wiped her mouth after. Note to self: always have the tissue. Laughed it off awkwardly.
Where We Landed
By Friday? Huge difference. Kisses just flowed better. Felt less forced, more natural. She started initiating more too, using her own signals instead of waiting on me. Arguments dipped way down. Feels like that little connection point being fixed just smoothed out other bumps. Simple changes, real talk, tiny fixes – works wonders. Doesn’t need to be some giant romantic gesture. Just… pay attention and stop sucking at it (literally!).
