Over on Instagram I found this very intriguing post on one of my favorite accounts, Historyphotographed.
It gives you a detailed instruction on how to kiss a girl, as part of an advertisement released by a gum company back in 1911. Read its full text below.
全篇文字
▼
Stand facing her.
Do not tell her your intentions.
Do not ask permission to kiss her.
Look dreamily into her eyes.
You may hold her right hand in your right hand, if you wish.
It is well to sign a couple of times about this stage of the game.
Whisper softly that her rosebud lips remind you of cupid’s bow.
She will probably drop her eyes and blush when you say that.
Place the fingers of your left hand under her chin and tilt back her head slightly.
Draw her gently towards you.
Do not hurry.
Sign once more.
Incline your head towards her until your lips - BUT WAIT! Do not kiss her until you know that she uses Listerated Pepsin Gum, the only antiseptic gum in the world, the only chewing gum that makes it safe to kiss.
If she is a Listerated Pepsin Gum girl, kiss her.
