First kisses are the beginning of something wonderful. It’s the perfect end to a wonderful first date. It’s the promise of things yet to come. They give us butterflies like no other kiss can. Some people say everything you need to know is in that first kiss. But sometimes first kisses can be less than wonderful. They can be an awkward, uncomfortable and a horrifying moment that scars us for life (just speaking hypothetically…not like it’s ever happened to me…ahem) There’s so much pressure that sometimes we get so nervous and anxious we screw the whole thing up.
There are 100 ways to screw up a first kiss and many of them have plagued me over the years. From tsunamis of saliva to sudden sneeze attacks, I’ve compiled a list of how first kisses can be ruined in an instant.

Okay, I’m all for showing off your loved one but I feel like all the time, err, sometimes people just take it too far. The end result is that your really cute kissing picture with the sunset behind you looks like something my 18-year-old sister would smack on the wall of her college dorm. Then she and all her friends can dream of finding a love like that. Oh, boo.
I think it’s time to face it, America: we love corny! Since the season of love is drawing nearer and nearer (don’t blame me, John Mayer wrote a song about it) [Editor's Note: Best JM song ever] it’s time we reflect on all the corny ways you’re going to throw your obsessive relationships in the faces of all your single besties.
Keep the puke bucket nearby…. this could get ugly. Read More »

It happens to the best of us. In a post-perfect date romantic haze, you gaze into his eyes. He gazes into yours. With butterflies in your stomach, you move in for what you think is going to be a mind blowing kiss. Cue the fireworks, the Al Green soundtrack, the racing heart, the unwavering desire to rip his clothes from every inch of his beautifully tanned and toned…
Wait, hold up. Did he just put his tongue…was that a lip…what the heck…that’s…not…my…mouth?
Sloppy, ill-timed, poorly executed kisses. Further proof that life is not The Notebook. That sometimes it’s more Wet Hot American Summer. And that we all have to live with it. Read More »

People did it. Glamour did it. And now I’m doing it. Sort of. While those two lovely magazines counted down the sexiest men of 2010 (I really, really love the fact that it rhymes this year) I am taking a slightly different approach. You see, those magazines seem to be making their decisions based on appearances only, but yours truly, well… I’m more focused on their, erm…skills.
Perpetually single girl that I am, I am in desperate need of a boy to kiss at midnight on New Year’s Eve. And if I’m going to dream, I might as well dream big, right?
Ten guys. One wish.
To kiss them all on New Year’s Eve.
10. Taylor Lautner. If he agrees to kiss me at midnight, I won’t even write a song about him afterward. Promise. (Sorry T.Swift, I just couldn’t resist. I actually really like “Back to December.” Honest.)
9. Eric Dane. McSteamy. McHottie. Whatever you want to call him, he’s McKissable. Just ask the Seattle Grace Nurses. Or Lexie Grey. Or even Bradley Cooper. (What? You haven’t seen Valentine’s Day?)
8. Matthew Morrison. Yes, I know he’s the teacher from Glee. But I’d like to remind everyone of that Rocky Horror episode, you know, the one when Schuester took off his shirt and started singing “Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me” …Yep. I thought so.
7. Chace Crawford. Come on now, ladies, did you really think I was going to get through an entire Weekly Ten without mentioning Gossip Girl? Shame on you! Nate has earned his rightful place on this list. In fact he’s actually locked lips with every one of the lovely ladies of Gossip Girl except for Lily VanderWoodsen/Bass/Humphrey, and I think that might only be because he can’t remember her entire last name. My last name, though? It doesn’t matter. These lips are ready for some smoochin’. Read More »

On Wednesday, I sat down after a long day of work, classes, and caffeine to find the only thing that could turn my day around waiting for me. My Glamour magazine had arrived. Eagerly, I sat down to indulge in some horoscope reading and horror story retelling. But before I even reached the cover story on Fergie I was sidetracked by something else entirely.
Glamour had listed their top six movie kisses of all time. And I have to say, I was a little disappointed.
The kisses they chose were certainly swoon worthy, but I didn’t think all of them deserved a top spot. And there were other kisses that were most definitely missing. Lots of kisses missing. Kisses that needed to be mentioned. So I selflessly spent hours and hours poring over YouTube video after YouTube video to compose this list for you, my top ten movie kisses of all time.
10. Jack and Rose, Titanic. Leo has come a long way since his days of freezing to death alongside a glacier, but I don’t think our generation will ever let him forget his days as a teen heart drop. This kiss, though not particularly impressive, sums up our teeny bopper days perfectly. It’s nostalgic and sweet and we’ll never let go.
9. Blane and Andie, Pretty in Pink. This list wouldn’t be complete without at least one Brat Pack shout out. And for me at least, it couldn’t be anything other than this movie. That final scene in the parking lot when Jack and Andie reunite at the senior prom after a huge fight just epitomizes everything I love and hate about teen angst and chick flicks. It’s cheesy and incredibly cliché but I would be lying if I said I didn’t wish something like that had happened at my high school prom. Read More »

Got a question for Tuffaleh?! Email her at TuffyLuv@collegecandy.com for answerundos.
Dear Tuffy Luv,
I just started dating a boy over the past couple months and everything has been going really well. As of late though, we have started having little arguments mainly over the same thing: he doesn’t like public displays of affection. Like, any. We can’t hold hands in public and even if I haven’t seen him in days, I can’t even kiss him on the cheek.
This wouldn’t be that big of a deal except that he feels completely comfortable breaking this rule at certain times. Every once and awhile, he’ll start a spur-of-the-moment makeout session in public. This only leaves me completely confused. If I ever initiate something, it’s a big problem. But when he does it, there is no problem. He’s also completely comfortable being platonically affectionate with his female friends (hugging or cuddling with them). He can’t seem to make up his mind and I just end up feeling confused and rejected. I don’t know what to do. Any advice?
Sincerely,
Hot & Cold Read More »
