Is it normal to not like kissing at first?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal for kissing to feel awkward or unpleasant at first. You might get more comfortable with time, or simply decide it isn’t your thing—and either is okay.

Kissing can feel strange when it’s new, when you’re nervous, or when you and the other person haven’t found a rhythm that feels good. Lots of people don’t enjoy it right away; movie kisses have a lot to answer for.

You can take it slowly, say what you do or don’t like, or stop if you’re not into it. You don’t owe anyone a chance to “get used to it”—sometimes comfort grows, and sometimes the spark just isn’t there.
