Hard to say..something you should talk to him about. I'd say hes nervous and doesn't think hes a very good kisser, and if she doesn't think he is. Why not make a game out of it? Try different ways to kiss, untill you find something that you both like  Have some fun with it..Good Luck!  |

okay when I had braces and for a long time afterwards (I had them put in when I was 19) I hated to smile showing my teeth. You stay self conscious for a long time. You can't force it, people change over time. As far as the kissing thing goes maybe he knows he isn't very good and is self consious about it. Don't pressure him. Just get your friend to ask him why he doesn't initiate kisses very often. But don't gand up on him and don't make it an interrogation.  |

I don't know... that's seems crazy. I would be kind of mad if my b/f didn't want to kiss.  |

seems like he has security issues. and not kissing that much can be a problem a little bit. if she hasn't already, she should talk to him about it. try to reassure him that everything is alright. hope everything goes better!  |

It sounds like he might be very self concisious about his mouth. If his teeth were that bad as a kid, maybe he was teased and its just held on for a long time. I member having braces...it was awful. I was teased a LOT before I got them on. But the kissing thing? I dont know. Its odd. Just cause he's had other gfs before doesnt mean he knows how to kiss. I've had boyfriends before, and I think Im an awful kisser. I guess it just depens on the person. I had a friend of mine who'd constantly bite his gf. He felt so bad and refuses to passionetly kiss girls unless they think its ok that hes a bad kisser. Im really sorry your friends bf is like this. Good luck *huggs*>>  |

Maybe he KNOWS hes a bad kisser and is just ashamed to admit it and have her teach him how to kiss well...so he just doesnt want to do it at all. Men can be very prideful.  |

Could be he's just insecure about his technique- I mean after all, she said (via you) that he's just not a grade A kisser- maybe he knows that and it just adds to the problem. Then again..maybe your friend has bad breath..or maybe he's afraid he does???  |

She should definitely talk to him about it, it's healthier in a relationship to know what he/she likes about what the other person does, that way the other person knows what the other likes, both happy that way. Good luck Smiling with teeth? hehe, i'm sure there are a lot of people that don't like to show teeth, i dont myself, sometimes i can't help but put a big cheezy smile on for a pic  |

It sounds like the guy had a really tramatic time when healing from that broken jaw. It had wounded his self esteem. I would suggest, just let his choice not to smile be. Accept his as he is,and be as genuine a friend you can without focusing on his unwillingness to get close emotionaly. when he sees your not pointing out his problems. He may feel at ease to let go his internal baggage and express his pain and maybe allow himself a chance to smile. Acceptance is the key, but let him take his time to turn the door knob to more intimacy and let people in to his heart.  |

There're so many things that could cause this. I hate to say it.... but maybe she has bad breath! I had a boyfriend once who had bad breath and I couldn't bear to kiss him sometimes. I never told him this, because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. If it's not the breath thing, then he may just be extremely protective of his mouth. Maybe he wants to keep it away from everything for fear of hurting it again, or he could be overly self conscious about his mouth since it looked bad before. But most likely, the reason is that he knows he's a bad kisser. Have your friend tell him what a good kisser he is (even though he isn't) just to help improve his self esteem and see if he decides he'd like to do that more often.  |
