What are the limits are for making out on your first date? What about your seventh date? If you're clueless about these things then you can use the tips below to learn how to make out without making yourself appear too easy or too hard to get.
Tip #1 on How to Make Out: There is no formula.
Forget about what everyone's been telling you.
There's no official rule that says you can't reach second base on the first date or, for that matter, that you can only go up to third base when you've been dating for three months.
You can't be mathematical about it, and think for every month that you've been dating, you could move to the next base.
These are feelings we're talking about and there's nothing logical or formulaic about them.
Tip #2 on How to Make Out: Do only what you're comfortable with.
This is very important.
You should only go as far as you're willing and comfortable with.
Naturally, what he feels about it matters, too, but it takes two to tango and he has to understand that 'no' for now means just that: 'no'.
Maybe in time, that 'no' could be a 'not yet' and someday it could be a 'yes'.
But for now he has to respect your feelings and understand that.
If he can't then dump him! Tip #3 on How to Make Out: It's okay to stop in the middle.
But hopefully, you're asking him to stop not because you've deliberately led him on.
You're asking him to stop simply because you thought you were ready and in the middle of things, you feel that you're not.
Admittedly, this could be hard for him to take and especially if you've gotten pretty far already.
But again, it all goes back to your date or partner being able to respect your feelings.
If he can't accept the fact that you lost your confidence or changed your mind for whatever reason then again, he just may not be the guy for you.
Tip #4 on How to Make Out: Don't pretend to be something you're not.
It's better to be honest about how much - or how little - your experience is and it shouldn't cause his feelings for you to change either way.
You're letting him know this because it will help him act in a more suitable manner.
This way, if you do tell him to stop, he may understand it more because he knows how inexperienced you are.
Tip #5 on How to Make Out: You can make the first move.
It's the 21st century.
You can definitely make the first move, and no one will think you're anything less because of it.
Now that you know the right - and wrong ways - on how to make out, here's one last tip to keep in mind: rules are meant to be broken.
Be ready for situations where the exception to the rule is the rule.
If you feel it's absolutely right to go all the way then maybe it is.
It's all about how you and he feel.
