Try a quick peck on the lips between classes.

You can greet each other or say goodbye with a kiss. If you two are in a relationship, giving each other a quick kiss on the lips is no big deal. If you pass by each other in the halls or see each other during passing time, pull her in and give her a smooch before heading on your way.^{[3]

- This isn’t a great plan for a first kiss, so save this one for when you’re a little more comfortable with each other.

Duck behind a tree for a little privacy during lunch.

Head somewhere secluded where the teaching staff won’t see you. You can stay on campus, but try to go somewhere far away from other students and teachers. This isn’t a great spot for making out, but you can catch a few minutes of privacy to kiss and talk a little.^{[4]

Take a stroll behind the building before class.

Meet up during a bathroom break.

Download Article

This one takes a little coordination, but it’s worth it! If you’re in separate classes, plan to take a bathroom break at the same time. Then, hang out in a hallway where you know you won’t get caught (watch out for teachers and hall monitors). You can give each other a quick peck before you head on back to class.^{[6]

- For instance, you might plan to take a bathroom break at exactly 1:15.

Share a kiss on the dance floor.

Download Article

School dances can be super romantic. If you two are slow dancing together and the moment feels right, give her a quick kiss on the lips. Keep this one super short, as your chaperones probably won’t appreciate anything longer than a few seconds.^{[7]

- This is especially fun during a formal school dance like prom or homecoming.

8

Stick with tongue-free smooches.

Download Article

School isn’t the best spot for a makeout session. Even if you’re fairly secluded, there’s always a chance that a teacher or a fellow student could walk up on you. Save the heavier stuff for when you two are alone.^{[8]

- Depending on your school’s policy, you might even get in trouble for taking it further than a quick kiss.
