You get too intense too quickly
If you're launching yourself at your partner, expecting an intense make-out session right away, you're probably going to be labeled a bad kisser, said sex expert Antonia Hall. Make sure you lead with your lips and keep the tongue action to a minimum, at least at first.
Whilst bad breath, a darting tongue and a wet sloppy kiss are rated as the biggest kissing turn-offs according to science, it might also be your smell, taste or even your pheromones that's causing the problem. Being a bad kisser can be a deal breaker, but kissing is more complicated than most people think.
You get all giddy. When you kiss someone, your body releases happy hormones. A rush of dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin hits your system the moment your lips lock. With this positive cocktail and a heart-fluttering kiss, you'll feel like you're on cloud nine!
So, 10 seconds is how short the ideal kiss is, according to the survey.
The anticipation of a kiss increases the flow of saliva to your mouth and gives your teeth a plaque-dispersing bath. Bad breath can't be passed on to another person via kissing. A French kiss involves all 34 muscles in the face, whereas a quick pucker involves only two.

A kiss might seem like a natural thing to do for most of us, but the scientific jury is still out on whether it is a learned or instinctual behaviour. Approximately 90 per cent of cultures kiss, making a strong case for the act being a basic human instinct.
: the act or an instance of fluttering one's eyelashes against another person's skin. "… I've invented a new way of kissing. You do it with your eye-lashes." "I've known that for years. It's called a butterfly kiss." Evelyn Waugh.
Not every first kiss, though, is a great kiss. They can be awkward, especially if the moment is not right or even forced. Even still, we are physically wired to tell the difference between a bad kiss from a good kisser and a "this does nothing for me" lipsmack.
The 90/10 rule in kissing is that you lean in 90% of the way…and pause. Let her then lean in 10% of the way and initiate the kiss. So, if your lips are 10 inches apart, you move in 9 inches…and wait. When someone invades your personal space, you will either move away, or move closer.
Differences Between Making Out and Kissing
Kissing is sweet and romantic and most kisses only last a second or two. Making out, on the other hand, involves opening your mouth and using your tongue. People can make out anywhere from a few seconds to an hour or more.
A good kisser never does things that are awkward or forced. You could begin to gently explore his mouth, start kissing other body parts, wrap your arms around him, and slowly move your hands around his body. Try to sense his reception.
Touch their face.
This can add some intimacy to the kiss. You can grab their face with both of your hands and gently pull it closer to your face, for example. You can also try gently caressing their cheek, neck, or even their earlobe. Ears are sensitive areas, so lightly stroking their ear may be a turn-on for them!
No need to wait for the official first date to get a little face time, however. Americans agree kids are ready for their first kiss at age 15 (15.1 on average), while on average, they had theirs at age 14.5. But first, let's talk about sex.
Most people can't focus on anything as close as a face at kissing distance so closing your eyes saves them from looking at a distracting blur or the strain of trying to focus. Kissing can also make us feel vulnerable or self-conscious and closing your eyes is a way of making yourself more relaxed.
Your first kiss might feel like a high-pressure situation — a moment you'll think a lot about before it happens. But that doesn't mean it should be something you need to worry about. The most important thing is to make sure that both you and the person you're kissing are happy and comfortable.
