Our Expert Agrees: The main way to tell if a guy wants to kiss you is by checking out his body language. If he's leaning in closer to you when you're talking, gazing into your eyes, smiling at you, or giving you subtle touches, it's a good indication he's thinking about a kiss.
Try mixing and matching some playful combinations, like a kiss and/or a wink emoji. Or, feel free to keep things simple with a series of heart-eyes. You can always lean on the classic “blowing a kiss” emoji to get your message across, too. There's no right or wrong way to flirt with emojis.
It could mean a lot of different things, but a guy who doesn't kiss you probably means that he is not intimately connected or invested in you. Kissing is personal and ironically, more engaging the sexual intercourse.

Touch them gently to initiate physical contact.
Then, move your hand to their hair or face and gently touch them for a few seconds. If you feel ready, gently brush the hair away from their face, then rest your hand on their shoulder or cup their cheek. You might also try putting your arm around their shoulders.
Start moving closer to the person you want to kiss, whether it's by moving closer together if you're sitting down, putting your arm around the person, or brushing away the person's hair. As you start touching the person, hold his gaze to make your intentions clear.
You'll know someone wants to kiss you when the person looks deeply into your eyes and leans into you. You'll feel it inside you that there's something about to happen. If you start leaning into the person, and he or she doesn't step back or lean back, you know it's time...a special time for a kiss.
Gauge how she reacts to your touch.
If she blushes, giggles, or smiles, those are signs she's comfortable with you and would possibly be receptive to a kiss. If she lingers or presses against you while you're saying your goodbyes, it's often a sign that she's reciprocating your affection.
He is looking at your lips

First, keep your lips soft and slightly opened, in a gently inviting and receptive way. Don't press them together tightly, but also avoid opening them too wide. Drooling and too much saliva is almost always a turn-off for men and women. On the other hand, some women and men like steamy, sloppy, wet kissing.
Massage his lips between yours. Start with his bottom lip and then move to his top one. If possible, maintain eye contact to establish a connection before you go in for a kiss. Close your eyes when you're kissing him to feel all the sensation from kissing.
Using your hands shows that you are confident and skilled enough that you can focus on something other than just kissing someone. Whether it's running your fingers through their hair or tracing their back with your fingertips, having that extra stimulation shows that you really know what you're doing.
