How to Kiss and Cuddle Your Boyfriend

Move closer to him. If you're both sitting on the couch, don’t stay too far away from him if you don’t want him to feel lonely. If a large river could flow between the two of you without any obstacles, there might be an issue. Therefore, when you're both sitting on the couch, lean in closer until your bodies are almost touching. If his arm extends around the back of the couch, it could be a sign that he wants you to lean into his embrace.

• If you're watching TV, you might find it easier to do this subtly. You won't be caught off guard as you gently move closer to him.

Let him wrap his arms around you. Once you're in his embrace on the couch, let him know that you enjoy him touching you and move closer to him, resting your head on his chest or even just below his neck. You can even look up at him and smile to show that you enjoy being cuddled by him. He’ll know it’s okay to wrap his arms around you.

• You can also reach down and hold his hand. Gently stroke his palm or fingers, making him feel like you're giving him a soothing massage.

Cuddle lying down. If you’re feeling bored with the classic sitting cuddles where both of you face forward, you can try lying down to cuddle. Place your hand on your boyfriend's shoulder, avoiding touching his body until he gets your message and lies down. Then, you can lean into his arms, facing outward while he wraps his arms around you.

• Alternatively, you can lie in his arms, facing him—although this position may lead to an immediate kiss. When you're facing each other so closely, a spontaneous kiss is almost inevitable.
• Your bodies shouldn’t be completely on top of each other. Even if you’re lying on top of him, keep your legs off to the side.

Sit and cuddle. In this classic cuddle style, both you and your boyfriend will sit and wrap your arms around each other, but you should fold your legs and face your boyfriend, sitting fully in his lap and placing yourself on his legs.

"Mama Bear" cuddle style. This is also a classic cuddle position. To cuddle in this way, you curl up behind your boyfriend and wrap your arms around him. In this style, both of you should lie down.

"Papa Bear" cuddle style. This is the final cuddling position. Lie on your side with your face turned outward so that his chest presses against your back. Your bodies should form a "C" shape, facing the same direction, with your boyfriend wrapping his arms around you. He might even rest his chin on your shoulder, bringing your faces close together.

Avoid excessive affectionate gestures. You might think that being affectionate will always bring you closer to your boyfriend, no matter how you show affection. While this is almost true, there are certain gestures that may make both of you uncomfortable and ruin the intimate vibe. Don’t worry—these common mistakes happen even to professionals. But if you know what to avoid, you can easily overcome the first hurdle. These mistakes include:

• Dead arm. The dead arm is the most uncomfortable affectionate gesture. This happens when you lean in close to your boyfriend or when you're sitting or lying down, and his arm rests behind your back. This quickly interrupts the emotional flow he needs to feel romantic.
• Being glued together. This happens when you and your boyfriend are so wrapped up in each other that you spend hours trying to figure out where your left leg or right arm should be. If you can't separate your body from his, you might be doing something wrong.
• Face-to-face cuddling. If you're not ready to kiss right away, it's best to avoid cuddling in this position.
• Too tight of a hug. If you don’t want your boyfriend to literally suffocate you, avoid letting him hug you so tightly that you struggle to breathe. If this happens, gently ask him to loosen his grip a little.

Lock eyes. Eye contact is the first step toward a great kiss. After cuddling, or even if you haven't yet cuddled but want to kiss, the first step is locking eyes with him. Catching his gaze will let him know that you want to kiss and that you’re thinking about his lips. When you're both facing each other and holding each other, it’s the perfect moment to begin the kiss.

• You can even gently lick your lips to make them softer, but don’t overdo it. This will make your lips look even more appealing.

Caress his face. Now, move closer to your boyfriend and place your hand on his cheek or face. Gently pull him toward you and continue locking eyes with him when you’re ready to kiss.

Give him a passionate kiss on the lips. Don’t immediately dive into a French kiss. First, give him a passionate, soft kiss on the lips. Lean in just enough to kiss him, hold it for a second, and then pause while continuing to gaze into his eyes with affection.

Give him a French kiss. If you're comfortable after giving a soft, gentle kiss, you can start a French kiss when you're ready. Slowly slide your tongue into his mouth as he does the same. Then, you can move your tongue around his mouth in a slow circle or gently push your tongue up and down as you place it against his tongue.

Kiss your boyfriend's face and neck. If you want to show affection, you can kiss his neck, ears, or even his jawline. This will give you the opportunity to move towards a kiss and might even make him want to kiss you more.

Continue with caressing. Just because you're kissing doesn’t mean you should stop touching and doing nothing. In fact, the opposite is true. While kissing, use your hands to caress him, which will bring both of you closer. You can also take short breaks during the kiss to caress. Here are some ways to use your hands while caressing:

• Wrap your arms around his neck
• Play with his hair
• Place your hand on his chest
• Sit on his lap and rest your hand on his shoulder

Let him know how much you enjoy kissing and caressing him. After a kiss and caress, give him a bright smile and a soft kiss so he knows how happy he makes you—showing that you always want to kiss him. Run your fingers through his hair, tell him you like him, or do a small gesture to let him know how much he makes you feel happy. Don’t be afraid to express your true feelings to him.
