Is it normal to be scared of your first kiss?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to feel scared or nervous about your first kiss. It’s new, personal, and often comes with pressure to make it go perfectly—but it doesn’t have to.

A first kiss can feel like a big deal because you may be wondering what to do, whether the other person feels the same, or if it’ll be awkward. Plenty of people feel nervous, even when they’re excited too.

You don’t have to rush into it or perform like you’ve rehearsed. Wait until you actually want to, and make sure the other person does too. If it’s a little clumsy, congratulations: you’ve had a very normal first kiss.
