Ah, the dance floor make out – most commonly occurring at frat parties. Even though making out seems like it should be a life skill for college students, it’s evident that for some it’s a skill that has yet to be learned. Based on personal experience and stories from girlfriends, this is a list of what girls are silently screaming at you for when you assault them with your poor lip-locking techniques. Remember, a bad DFMO can send a girl running whereas a good DFMO can potentially lead to more.
Do be confident. It’s definitely a turn-on when a guy knows what he wants and goes for it. It could be anything from steady eye contact, walking up to her and asking her to dance, or walking past her and leaving one hand on her waist a little too long. Knowing that she’s wanted will make her feel even sexier. Given, getting on Harvey Specter’s level (although ideal) is virtually impossible, simple gestures will definitely do the trick.
Do not start with an open mouth. Tongue isn’t a bad thing. Used sparingly and when done right, it can really spice things up. However, when you’re just getting started take some time so you can both get comfortable with each other before going for it.
Do kiss her neck. Trust me.
Do not treat her lips like a cone of JP Licks ice cream. If there’s spit on her nose or if she has to wipe her mouth afterwards, you’ve gotta slow down with the slurping, buddy.
Do make use of walls. I have yet to meet a girl who wouldn’t love it if a guy were to kiss her while she’s up against a wall. There are so many ways to do this; you could hold her hands above her head, press your body against hers, or lift her legs and wrap them around you. *brb melting*
Do not go into beaver mode – by this I mean do not poke her, graze her, or bite her with your teeth. It is painful. Some guys like to nibble, and if you’re good at it then by all means go ahead, but know your limits. If you choose to do this while dancing, please try to keep your head stationary.
Do use your hands. Touching a girl the right way on almost any part of her body can work magic, whether it’s her hair, back, booty, arms, waist, or thighs. Be gentle but firm. Just be sure to be aware of what she personally wants and what she’s comfortable with.
Do not do the A-frame. An A-frame is when only your mouths are touching and your bodies form this awkward triangle, looking like two stick figures who happened to fall against each other and landed on the lips. Which leads me to…
Do pull her in. Put your hands on her waist, and bring her close to you. This way, you avoid the aforementioned A-frame and having to stick your pelvis a mile out in order to grind properly.
Do not do a crotch hook. Oh my god, the number of stories I’ve heard on this one. So, a crotch hook is when a guy is behind a girl and reaches over her front, sticks his hand between her legs and tries to scoop her up by the groin. I don’t know whether you people think it’s hot or if it’s some (terrible) attempt at fingering, but either way it has got to stop. ASAP.
Do be respectful. This covers basic stuff such as making sure her dress doesn’t ride up too high and not unclasping her bra in public. This also includes good manners. For example, don’t just wordlessly walk away if you ask her whether she wants to head somewhere private and she says no. Y’all want to get laid, we get it, but a simple “Oh okay, I understand” and a little more dancing before you vamoose would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve armed you with new skills young padawans, now go forth and sweep those ladies off their feet!
