Starting Out Kinda Awkward
Honestly didn’t think much about kissing daily until last month. Me and my girlfriend hit this weird phase where we’d just peck like robots – quick boring smooches before work or bedtime. Felt like checking boxes, zero warmth. So Tuesday morning I blurted out “Let’s actually try kissing properly for 7 days straight?” She looked confused but shrugged “Okay weirdo, prove it works.”
The Daily Grind Setup
Made two stupidly simple rules:
- No distractions allowed: Phones tossed on silent, no TV background noise
- Minimum 2 minutes: Set phone timer because turns out we suck at judging time
First evening was… awkward. Standing in kitchen after dishes, just staring at each other like idiots. Started counting ceiling cracks while our lips touched. Felt about as intimate as brushing teeth together. Almost quit right there.
Breaking Through the Weirdness
Day 3 was game changer. Forgot the timer during a sofa cuddle sesh. We actually started noticing tiny details – how her left eyebrow twitches when she’s relaxed, that citrusy shampoo smell in her hair. One kiss accidentally lasted 11 minutes because we got lost chatting about her childhood dog between kisses. Felt that warm fuzzy connection thing people talk about.
Surprise Discoveries
By day 6 we were hooked:
- Morning kisses became like coffee for our relationship – woke us both up better than caffeine
- Started reading each other’s energy levels through lips – like if she gave quick tight kisses, meant work stress boiling
- Evening kisses became this safe ritual – melted arguments from earlier like ice cubes
Funniest part? We laughed way more. Like when my stomach growled mid-kiss last Thursday and she cracked up spraying toothpaste everywhere.
Why Stick With It
Two weeks in now and damn, this simple trick works:
- Zero cost connection boost – cheaper than date nights
- Builds relationship muscle memory – when life gets chaotic, we got this anchor
- Seriously ups nonverbal communication skills – like we developed kiss telepathy
My hot take? Most couples kiss like they’re rushing through airport security checks. Slow down that baggage scan folks.
Try it raw and messy first week. Your teeth might clank, noses bump, laughter erupts. That’s the whole damn point – relearning each other through microscopic daily closeness.
