Would you date a bad kisser?

I think we've all at some point in our lives encountered a bad kisser. There are so many smooching offenses: too slobbery, too soft, too dry, too rough, too much tongue, a jutting tongue... the horrifying options are endless. You can never tell when someone is going to be a good kisser either, or whether you'll have kissing chemistry.

I've been told I'm a good kisser, but this of course is all relative. I do know that some boyfriends of mine have been better kissers than other at first, but after months of being together the guy's kiss became much more in sync with my own.

One time I met a guy out at a club when I was single on Valentine's Day. Out of nowhere he grabbed me and planted a wet, slobbery kiss ALL OVER MY FACE, sort of like Paris Hilton over there on the right. Gross! That, for me, was a total deal breaker.

If you like a guy and discover he's a really bad kisser, would you stick it out? Would you tell him he needs to work on his kiss, would you hope he'll improve on his own, or would you ditch him and move on?

    Oh, I did worse than dating him...I MARRIED him!! Kissing isn't everything but honestly, I'll never make this particular compromise again. Hopefully hubby #2 will work out better! :-)

    At first I thought my bf was a not so good kisser but you get over those things and adapt to it if you really care for them. I now love his kisses.

    Teach each other what you like and how you like it. Great way to make it a win/win for both of you.

    Don't cheat yourself ladies!!! Not only was he a horrible kisser, his breath wasn't the greatest either. Once we got that under control I thought, ok this wont be sooo bad, but I tell when your whole chin is wet, it just doesn't make sense. lol. Dodge a major bullet- didn't marry him. No offense to any one.

    Hmmm I would try to teach him, but if he had bad breath I would break it off..

    I dated a bad kisser and ignored it for a min. Then I got sick of it and step by step I showed him what I enjoyed, and for a min. he had it, and went right back to his old ways. Horrible! As it turns out he turned out to be a player, knocked up another girl at the office, while he was seeing another girl at the same time. I guess the bad kissing saved me from a future bad experience.

    Depends on what else the guy had going for him. If all his other traits were good, I'd stay with him and we'd work on that malfunctioning kissing so it' work right.

    I met this guy and he was an AMAZING kisser, but sucked in bed...he had money, a nice car and was hot. If only he was better in bed! *sigh* we only "dated" for like three weeks after knowing each other for well over a year. never spoke to each other again after the "split" because it was just awkward.
