What are the odds of meeting a soulmate?

When Eric Goulden was a young man, his mother said to him, “There is only one girl in the world for you, and she probably lives in Tahiti.” She paused, and then added, “Or maybe she’s in the Bahamas, where the Caribbean Sea is blue.” Eric resolved to travel the whole wide world to find this woman. Eric, better known as rock singer Wreckless Eric, once penned a song that outlined perfectly the problem of the soul mate theory: that is, that each of us only has one person in the world meant for them. “The Whole Wide World,” later covered by Will Ferrell in the film Stranger Than Fiction as well as a host of bands such as The Proclaimers and The Monkees, describes the desperate measure a young man will go to find his one girl.

But if we all only have one single random soul mate, what are the chances we would ever meeting that person?

This is one of the many absurd hypothetical questions that plague Randall Munroe. A former NASA roboticist, Munroe now draws the geek cult webcomic “xkcd,” described by The Economist as “an eclectic mixture of science, maths and whimsy served three times a week.” Since, what if?, a subsection of the site, has encouraged readers to throw questions to Munroe, which he attempts to answer to the best of science’s ability. A what if? book based on his answers was released last September. Apart from examining machine-gun jetpacks, orbital submarines, the effects of everyone jumping at once and the Force power of Yoda, Munroe also examined the question of soul mates.

How do you kiss a guy like a pro?

First, keep your lips soft and slightly opened, in a gently inviting and receptive way. Don't press them together tightly, but also avoid opening them too wide. Drooling and too much saliva is almost always a turn-off for men and women. On the other hand, some women and men like steamy, sloppy, wet kissing.

Kissing Communication

Probably one of the best tips for kissing out there is communication. Everyone kisses differently, and everyone likes different things. So don’t forget to communicate with your man regarding all things kissing-related. This may be somewhat awkward, especially in the beginning of your relationship. But just like sex, if you don’t talk about it, you’ll never know what he likes, what he doesn’t like, what you are doing right, what you are doing wrong, and how you can improve your kissing technique. And don’t be afraid to tell him what you like and dislike about the art of kissing. No one is the perfect kisser, and he should be receptive to your feedback and suggestions. If he’s not, then maybe it is time to move on and find someone else to kiss! Remember that while these are certainly helpful and useful kissing tips, they are not kissing rules—just guidelines. There really is no such thing as one perfect kiss that every couple must conquer. Each woman, man, and couple will define their perfect kiss differently and that can change and also come in many forms. Never feel like you have to do something you don’t want to, whether it makes you uncomfortable or you just don’t enjoy it. Most importantly, have fun! While there is some effort involved in perfecting your kissing skills, it should mostly be an enjoyable activity for both of you. See this related article: Top Tips for Kissable Lips.
