Imagine you and your special someone on your first date. One of the best moments of every romantic date is when your eyes meet at the right moment. People often say that "the eyes are the windows to the soul." They are right because gazing intently at your beloved's eyes will help you know what he or she is feeling. It can even help you gauge if the time is right. 

Besides, through the days before you realized that you have fallen for your significant other, you can recall how that affection was built. The instances where your eyes have met have contributed to that deep emotional connection. Recall the stolen glances and the long, lingering looks that tell you more than when either of you had actually said anything. 

As mentioned previously, looking into your partner's eyes can tell you if it's the right moment for your first kiss. Aside from the eye contact, you can also take notes of other nonverbal cues that he or she is giving you. Is he or she leaning in closer? The simple act of hand-holding and moving closer to each other can hint to you the right time for your first kiss. 

If you can't time the right moment, then you can create it. Privacy is key to creating the perfect time for your first kiss. Making your partner feel like you two are the only people in the world can really set the moment for that amazing and sparkling first kiss. 

After identifying or finding the right moment for your kiss, you can choose to build on the tension and increase anticipation. This will make your first kiss more desirable and sweeter. There are a lot of ways to this like before your lips could touch you can pause and leave him or her wanting.

You can also do this by touching your forehead to that of your beloved's. Doing this gesture while breathing in deeply for a few seconds will build a natural feeling of closeness and intimacy. Reaching this state will be perfect for your first kiss - as it builds on both the physical and emotional connection between the two of you. 

After finding the right moment, tilt your head to avoid your nose touching and kiss that special someone and close your eyes. Have you ever noticed how your sense of hearing and touch heightens when you are in a dark room? The same principle could be applied when you are having your first kiss.

You can feel the closeness and the intimacy of the moment more when you close eyes. You can zero in further on the warmth of the feeling of having your loved one's lips on yours.

Another way to make your first kiss more special is to take time to appreciate your partner. You can show this by caressing his or her face gently. You can make your special someone feel attractive and loved as you touch your fingers gently to their lips, cheeks, nape, and neck. Touching your thumb to his or her's lips can also be a signal that you want to kiss your partner.

In most cases, the first kiss becomes a milestone. It is the defining moment when you have realized the significance of your loved one's presence in your life. 

Keeping it simple and gentle in the beginning is important as well. You might scare away him or her or give the wrong message when you do open-mouth kissing. However, there are exceptions to the rule as some people do prefer partners who are more adventurous. So, it will depend on the kind of person that you are with. 

As mentioned in the introduction, the first kiss is often associated with adolescence or the height of one's youth.

However, you might also want to consider how you define what a first kiss is and which counts as a first kiss. For example, toddlers and children might kiss each other on the lips, would that have counted as a first kiss? In connection with the studies referred to above, there must be a sense of awareness, desire and choice in the event of the first kiss.
