About This Quiz

Kissing doesn't have to be a big deal if you don't want it to be, but for many people it is. That first kiss of your life, or even that first kiss with someone new, is something you can never get back. Enjoy it! And if you feel like the timing isn't right, or the person doesn't feel the same, then save it for someone else. But also, if a kiss is just a kiss to you, spread the love. It doesn't have to be a thing to which you apply a ton of pressure. It can simply be a kiss.

But how do you know if the person you want to kiss wants to kiss you back? Honestly, you'll probably never know for sure unless you straight up ask them. Maybe that's the approach you should take, but few people are brave enough to do so. Plus, it takes the romance out of it. You have to trust in yourself, your ability to read other people and the fleeting feeling of wanting to take a chance. The worst that can happen is they reject you. That's going to happen a lot in life anyway so you might as well get used to it. Should you or shouldn't you plant that first kiss? Take this quiz now, and we'll tell you!
