15 Memes That Perfectly Describe A First Kiss

Many of us are the romantic types who dream about the first kiss, whether its your first-ever kiss or your first kiss with a new guy. The curiosity, the excitement, and the nerves all combine to help create an extra special moment. While waiting for that moment, watching chick flicks is the only way to give us a hint of what it will be like. How many films have we watched where the first kiss is beautiful, romantic, sweet, and undeniably sexy? Some films have the first kiss take place in the rain, others have it after the big game that his team just won! Hollywood depicts that first kiss as something so extremely amazing that there is a lot of pressure to make sure ours is perfect too.

The problem is that almost every first kiss is NOT perfect. Actually, the first kiss is far from perfect. These are usually the kisses that are a disaster and very awkward -- the ones that you push to the back of your mind when you are older and hope you can forget it altogether.

The fact is, there is no way you could have practiced or prepared for the kiss, so why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to make it perfect? If we went into it knowing it won't be perfect and instead just appreciate the learning experience, it might be better!

There are many ways that the first kiss can go wrong and it is only something we can laugh about later in life. Here are 15 memes that perfectly describe that first kiss, whether its a first-ever kiss or just a first kiss with someone new!

15 Practice Makes Perfect

With a first kiss, it is hard to know what to do because it is your FIRST kiss. There isn't much you can do to practice beforehand and you won't really know what it is like until you have experienced it. The truth is that many of us have practiced in some form or another (but of course we would never admit it!). Whether it is on a mirror, a boy band poster, or a stuffed animal, we all have probably at one point in our lives puckered up to some inanimate object to try out our kissing skills. Not only would this be extremely embarrassing to admit to anyone, but if anyone ever caught you in the act, it would be horrifying. When kissing a mirror, and coming away from it, you probably have wondered if a mirror is the only thing you will actually kiss. No matter how much you practice, your first kiss will probably still NOT be perfect.

14 Facial Expressions

The human mind is a fascinating thing. We think about ourselves in a much different way than we actually are in many cases. The reason for this is because we cannot see ourselves and we instead just imagine what we look like doing things. Kissing is no exception. Going in for the kiss, we picture ourselves looking just like all the female stars in the movies, puckered up, soft eyelashes, a kind of sexy look. The problem is not knowing what you are doing is probably not making you look like you think you do. Celebrities are taught to kiss and even take kissing classes to make sure they look good on camera. You don't have that luxury and probably DON'T look like what you think when you go in for the pucker. This meme's facial expression perfectly describes what you actually look like when going in for the first kiss!

13 The Overpowering Kisser

Sometimes a first kiss can be terrible, not because of you, but because of your smooching partner. Everyone has a different idea of what they think is a perfect kiss. If you are lucky, you might simply get just an awkward kiss, but if you are unlucky you might find yourself ending up with the overpowering kisser. These are the people who are aggressive and won't let you go no matter how much you protest. You could be kicking and screaming and they would be determined to keep their lips on yours. This meme perfectly describes a first kiss with an overpowering kisser. It is probably better to let him kiss you so you don't get head-butted with the force of his kiss. You also hope that you really liked this person at the time and the forceful kiss wasn't too terrible to make you want to call the police!

12 Fall Too Fast

There are some of us out there that seem to fall too fast. There is something about being caught up in the romantic moment that they fall head over heels and cannot seem to logically assess the situation realistically. If you have seen the television show How I Met Your Mother, you know exactly what this type of person is like. The character Ted is one of these individuals who falls WAY too fast. This is the person who, after the first kiss, looks deep into your eyes and says, “I love you” or asks you to marry them. Try to be gentle with these poor souls; their heart doesn't know any better. Having a first kiss with someone who falls too fast can make things extremely awkward as you are just jumping over the first kiss landmark and are suddenly expected to make a commitment. Yup, this is a meme that perfectly describes one of those first kiss experiences.

11 Don't Know What's Going On

Some first kiss experiences are worse than others, not just a bit more awkward or strange, but they can be bad kisses that go above and beyond the definition of weird. The reason for this problem is that some people just have no idea what is going on. They think they can just figure it out as they go and jump right in, but this can create a horrifying experience for their partners. This meme perfectly describes one of those first kissers who doesn't know what is going on. She goes in for the kiss and suddenly finds herself being licked on the face (not even the mouth!). There is nothing more traumatizing and awkward than trying to recover from that experience. These are one of those times where you want to forget everything that happened and just erase that whole part of your life. We wish there was a way to weed out those who don't know what is going on, but that is just a part of the risk of having that first kiss!

10 The Death Eater

We have all seen the films Harry Potter and most of us know that a Death Eater was one of the terrifying creatures that come to literally SUCK the life out of you. Well, as bad as it may sound, there are some first kiss experiences that involve one kisser being a Death Eater. He goes in for the kiss but starts opening his mouth wider and wider until his whole mouth is all over your face. This meme is a perfect description of these Death Eater kisses - “And that was the last time we saw Mike.” You can only pray that you never have an experience like this, as we assume you want to live longer than your first kiss. And if you have the unfortunate experience of coming across a kiss of death, pull out your wand and summon your patronus because that is the only way you will rid of this evil creature!

9 Pushed Away

What is worse than a bad first kiss is having someone reject your first kiss. You have been reading all the signs and are positive that he likes you. Then the moment comes and you lean in to kiss him and suddenly he is pushing you away. His hands are up, his face is horrified, and he looks as though you are coming at him with a poisonous snake. There is nothing more terrible than the feeling you have after experiencing this. The rejection, the shame, and the embarrassment fills you up and you wish you could rewind time and NOT go in for the smooch. The problem with the first kiss is that you never really know what is going to happen. Having the guts to lean in and make the first move is a sign of bravery, and if you are pushed away, hold your head high and leave him be. He didn't deserve you anyway!

8 Feeling Good

When, on occasion, a first kiss does happen and isn't so terrible that you want to shrivel up and die, you probably will be making a face like this. Mr. Bean perfectly describes the look you will have after your first kiss and it is a face that will probably freak out the person you just kissed. You hope that your face will have that bewildered sexy look, but chances are that you will instead look a bit dorky. If he likes you enough, he will probably find your cheesy face adorable, but if not then he probably wasn't the one for you anyway. Consider this your practice for the more serious kisses to come along in the future. Now that you know what you did wrong, you can work to change those dorky faces post-kiss and get some serious romance going! This meme perfectly describes one of the many problems of a first kiss.

7 Wrong Angle

If you think about it enough, you could consider kissing a science. There is movement of the lips, the movements that are needed to match your partner, and the angles of your faces. It is usually a science that you figure out as you go along, but when waiting for your first kiss, the nerves might lead you to over-analyzing. If you were so nervous about the first kiss, you may have looked up just HOW MUCH you need to angle your head to match your partner's. This meme shows just what happens when you over-think things. This poor boy over-analyzed the angle and, when going in for the kiss, created a strange looking first kiss. As he goes in for a kiss (aiming now for her neck), she is tilted the other way and is probably going to kiss his jaw. There is nothing good about over-analyzing a first kiss; best to trust your instincts and go with the flow!

6 Pucker Up

If you have no knowledge of how to kiss, is it really your fault if you lean in for the kiss not knowing what to do with your mouth? From a young age, we are taught the kissing sound and doing that it involves pursing the lips out into a sort of pucker. So, when going in for your first kiss, wouldn't you assume that is the face and sound you are supposed to make? Unfortunately for those who have tried this, it isn't the easiest way to kiss. Puckering up for your first kiss can look weird and if your partner is taking a look before leaning in, it is going to look pretty strange. Of course, when kissing, you need to push your lips out a little, but because a first kiss involves no background history or experience, first-time kissers are probably going to shove out their lips as far as they can!

5 What Just Happened

Sometimes once the first kiss is had and you pull apart, you may awkwardly smile, go in for another, or just stare romantically into one another's eyes, OR you may just stand there staring at each other in confusion wondering what the heck just happened. Because the first kiss can be very awkward and a weird physical experience, it can leave you and your partner a little baffled at the event. You may just look at one another and be uncomfortable for a moment. Perhaps one of you may even frown because you are disappointed that the experience did not meet your fantasy's high expectations. Well, shrug it off because now that your first kiss is over, you can begin to figure out what to do next - of course be sure that you have taken some time to get over the awkwardness. This meme perfectly describes that weird moment after your first kiss.

4 The Cheek Kiss

Imagine this: you're feeling the magic and you think that the time for a first kiss has arrived. You slowly close your eyes, lean in, and pucker up waiting for the reciprocated reaction. He puts his hands on your shoulders and butterflies fill your stomach - flipping it upside down and side to side. Then, as the anticipation is about to kill you, you feel a small peck on the side of your cheek. Yes, as terrible as it is, instead of him pushing you away or informing you that you were wrong in your kiss assumption, he will give you a cheek kiss. This type of kiss is the equivalent of a sad pat on the shoulder. You have been given a kiss that says, “That was cute what you tried to do there, but there's no way I am going to kiss you. Oh, but I feel bad so here's a cheek kiss.” You've just been given a PITY kiss.

3 Too Much Tongue

Everyone has a different idea of how a kiss should work. Some like a simple peck, others like to involve more mouth action. The thing is, for a first kiss, because you both don't know what you are doing, it is better to go with a simple peck. This way, you have less of a chance of making it weird and messy. Then there are those people who believe that you should jump right on into French kissing. They come at your tongue first, and because your eyes were closed, you fall victim to the tongue kiss. You are probably shuddering at the thought, but just imagine the shock and disgust you would feel if this happened to you! It feels as though he is drenching you in saliva and trying to take you over with his alien-like tongue. This is a meme that perfectly describes a first kiss with someone who uses too much tongue.

2 Bad Breath

A first kiss can spontaneous, and in most cases, is not expected. You can do what you can to keep your mouth hygiene good for when the moment comes, but you can't be chewing gum every second you are with a potential kisser. Bad breath is one of the biggest turn-offs for kissing. If you have a bad first kiss experience due to bad breath, it is probably because your partner felt similar to this meme: relieve stress and eat everything in front of you (which, just happens to be filled with garlic and onions). There is no easy way around this situation. If you tell him he has bad breath, say goodbye to the relationship. If you don't say anything, he may continue to eat the way he is and you will have bad breath kisses as long as you are with him. Hopefully the second kiss is better!

1 Braces Get Stuck

The image of two young lovers getting their braces stuck together is something we see only in the movies, right? Wrong. The age where braces are most needed is also the age when the first ever kiss is most likely to occur. Perhaps both of you having braces is what kindled the spark for the relationship - cute common ground. Having a first kiss with a person who also has braces is a dangerous game if you are amping up the kissing game. Teeth bump accidentally, and then suddenly you are hooked and can't get away. You are locked in a tangle of embarrassment and shame (as well as panic)! Now you must fight with your partner and try to break away from this first kiss and try to forget that it ever happened. Maybe next time there should be more puckering of the lips to avoid braces contact? This meme perfectly describes the awkwardness of a first kiss.
