Whether it was your first or twentieth smooch ever, you've probably had a horrible, or at the very least, awkward AF kissing encounter. And if you haven't had your first kiss yet, don't worry, you're definitely in for an embarrassing moment or two as well. 😉 Though you might have studied up on the best techniques, positions, and types of kisses to spice up your makeout sessions, sometimes, a bad kiss is just unavoidable.

While you might feel like that sloppy tongue or little snot is the end of the world post-makeout, it totally isn't. And think of the bright side: you'll have a funny story to look back on and share with your besties.

From bopping heads to inducing bloody noses, these kissing horror stories are beyond cringy. Prepare to squirm...

1."I had my first 'makeout' when I was 14, in my friend's basement. I made out with this guy, and my friend who was sitting next to the guy's friend saw a text on his phone from the guy I had just kissed. It said, 'I farted bro.' The dude farted during my first kiss." — Rose, 23

2. "During an intense makeout session with my now ex-boyfriend, we pulled back to find each other covered in blood! After a few seconds of horror, I realized I had a nose bleed. There was blood everywhere, including all over his white shirt!" — Hanna, 21

3. "I went over to my friend's ex-boyfriend's house because we were friends since way before we even knew her. While hanging out we decided to goof off and have a wrestling match since he was a varsity wrestler. Once he had me pinned and I gave up he decide to try and kiss me. When he went in for the kiss, I tried to move and we hit heads... hard. He got a bloody nose. So not only was I trying to revive myself from the awkwardness of trying to tell my best friend I didn’t like him, but I was also trying to fix the boy's nose... oops!" — Sydney, 17

4. "My first kiss was in middle school. I was on the bleachers minding my own business, eating Pretz sticks, when my boyfriend at the time runs over super quickly and leans in and kisses me as I’m mid-crunch, and runs away. I was so stunned, still in the middle of eating, and everyone was staring at me." — Abigael, 23

5. "[The] summer of eighth grade going into ninth, I was 13 and recently got my first gf. We both wanted to kiss, but neither of us never have or knew how to do it. We googled it. We were super scared but it happened. We were sitting on the floor, looked at each other, and it just happened." — Ant72_Pagan9, via Reddit

6. "He had just finished shoveling Cheetos into his mouth. [He] chewed a few times, grabbed me with his cheesy hand, and proceeded to kiss me through the half-chewed Cheeto mush." — Jiser, via Reddit

7. "I was 16, she was 18, and I hadn't quite figured out the speed of approach. I chipped her front tooth with mine." — Californib, via Reddit

8. "Years ago, I met this girl and we clicked. [We] get to kissing and it's awesome... until I discover some piece of food in my mouth that had not been there prior to kissing her. It still makes me queasy thinking about it." — BBassic, via Reddit

9. "I gently placed my hands on his shoulders for balance and I raised myself up on tiptoe, closed my eyes, kissed him briefly, and then sneezed so hard that I head-butted him in the face. As a 14-year-old girl, I realized that this was the single worst thing that had ever happened to anyone anywhere and ran home to go cry from embarrassment in my room." — forthebrotherhood, via Reddit

10. "I chipped my girlfriend's tooth by laying back while kissing and hitting my head on the coffee table (we were on the floor), and knocking our teeth together. She still hasn't let me live it down and it was years ago." — Well_of_Good_Fortune, via Reddit

11. "Technically, we didn't actually kiss but were about to, when she sneezed, blew snot all down my leg, and head-butted me. She was mortified, ran into the next room, and shouted to me that 'maybe we should try this another time.' I agreed and left. Another time never happened." — plastiquebleu, via Reddit
