To me, A make out ... or also commonly referred to as "a make out session"... is just a lot of kissing and no further. You'd go to the movies to 'make out'.... coz you can't really do anything else in the movies.
Also, newer relationships tend to 'make out' more than more established relationships. I reckon it's because the new ones are still scared and that's all they're gonna to with each other. Once you're relationship is moving along nicely and you're doing other stuff... you forget to have make out sessions coz you wanna do the other stuff.
Don't worry dan, we're just mucking around here... and we've probably stressed you a little too much. Sorry bout that. Just take it easy, do what feels right and talk talk talk to her if she does something you don't understand.
You know, I actually love those first bumbling, oops, ouch, giggle first weeks or months of a relationship. You're always on edge to see if you've done something wrong but just relax and enjoy it. Once you're with someone with a while you start to miss the little 'rush' of adrenaline when they're about to kiss you that you get when you're first together. But at least then, the 'rush' and fear of everything you do is replaced by understanding, love and i guess a feeling of 'I don't care what he/she thinks about what I'm about to do coz it'll either be a) fun; b) just the way I am. Does that make sense.? meh.... I'm all lovey dovey now so I can't think straight. You're probably a bit like that too right now aren't ya! Feels great doesn't it!
