The Often Awkward Nature of a Kiss

You will just have to teach yourself one poor female victim at a time for kissing is a dangerous occupation for adolescents and virgins. Angles and shapes have to be factored in at lightning speed before the plunge is undertaken. The neck must be adjusted to height and the trajectory of the pursed lips meet as a natural occurrence like two butterfly wings brushing each other in flight. On first dates short-sighted rhino clashes must be avoided at all cost. Noses and teeth will always get in the way somehow just a fact. In time, with much trial and error the young will get the hang of it and it's rather nice in an often sloppy sort of way. Eventually tongues are employed in strange animalistic tasks that they were never designed for but in the heat of the moment eating is often mistaken for kissing. Go forth confidently then you young men, but always remember "though a kiss might be gentle and oh so elemental diamonds are a girl's best friend."
