To be clear, the 90/10 rule is not a kissing ‘technique’ per se. It’s more of a dating hack to appreciably up the tension in the moment. The rules are simple – if you’re the one initiating the kiss, or simply want to, without seeming a bit too eager, all you need to do is lean in 90-percent of the way. That’s less than an inch away from your partner’s face. Think of this as less of a straight swoop and more of a slow burn. If you feel unsure about your partner wanting you to lean in for a kiss, drop the bravado and let your nervousness come through in that 90-percent journey – sometimes, it can be the most endearing and natural sentiment to express. The 10-percent of the equation here comes in with your partner who is supposed to close the gap between you two.
