A FIRST kiss can determine a lot of things. The moment you lock lips, sparks should be flying - but unfortunately, this may not always be the case. From being too overbearing, to shying away too much or accidentally knocking teeth, a bad kiss can be seriously off putting.

This week’s Love Island saw Ronnie Vint, 28, get told he was a bad kisser after he was tasked with snogging the "three sexiest islanders.". However, Elma didn't rate the kiss giving in a five out of ten - before adding she was going to “teach him how to kiss.”.

But things took a turn for the worse, after Ronnie kissed Kaz, 29, in the Secret Garden in Wednesday's night episode moments after sharing a kiss with Elma, 31. In Thursday's episode we saw Elma in tears wondering why she's crying over Ronnie who "kisses like a washing machine.".

In fact, a previous study in The Journal of Evolutionary Psychology asked over 200 people: "Have you ever found yourself attracted to someone, only to discover after kissing them for the first time that you were no longer interested?". And it found that over 60% of people have had this experience.

Here, The Sun’s agony aunt Sally Land reveals to YASMIN HARISHA the tell-tale signs of a bad kisser and how to overhaul your technique. A good way to tell if you might not be a great kisser is to pay attention to what happens after the kiss, and this can certainly happen if you don’t check your breath before.
