Are you trying to get more one-on-one time with your boyfriend? Finding time for romance can be tough, especially if you’re spending most of your day at school. Don’t worry. Whether it’s during lunch period or in between classes, there are plenty of ways you can make the most out of some alone time with your beau. We’ve put together a few tips and tricks to help get you on your way!

1

Swipe on some lip balm.

A quick coat of lip balm can help your lips look irresistible. Lip balm is a lot less messy than lip gloss, and will keep your lips soft and perfectly kissable.^{[1]

- Gloss can definitely highlight your lips, but it’ll make for a pretty messy kiss. If you’re a big lip gloss fan, wipe it off before going for a smooch.

2

Freshen up your breath.

Mints are a must if you plan on locking lips. Before meeting up with your boyfriend, suck on a mint or chew a minty piece of gum first. Whatever you do, stay away from any especially smelly foods, like garlic, processed cheese, and onions.^{[2]

- If you usually see your beau right after class, grab a piece of spearmint gum 5-10 minutes before the bell rings.

3

Plan a bathroom break.

Choose a time when both you and your beau can sneak out of class. Instead of going to the bathroom, meet your BF in a secret spot like an empty stairwell or isolated hallway. Enjoy 5-7 minutes of quality time with your man before heading back to class. After all, you don’t want your teacher to get suspicious!^{[3]

- Try to plan your break when you and your BF are in nearby classrooms. Your “bathroom break” won’t be very worthwhile if you spend most of it hiking across the school.

4

Scope out an empty classroom.

You don’t want a teacher or student ruining the moment. Try finding an empty classroom before classes start. Then scope out a corner of the room that will keep you far away from any prying eyes. If any students or teachers walk in, pretend that you’re having a conversation or studying for an upcoming test.^{[4]

- Take a few days to scope out different classrooms before settling on a meeting spot. It could get pretty awkward if some students start filing in!

5

Sneak behind the school.

Plan a time to meet before school starts. Chances are, no one’s going to be lurking behind the building when you and your BF get together. While you smooch, keep an eye on the clock so you don’t miss your first class!^{[5]

- While one-on-one time with your BF is great, it’s not worth getting in trouble over! If the back of your school is off-limits, pick a different place to meet up.

6

Steal a kiss on the bus.

Try grabbing a seat toward the back of the bus, so fewer people can walk past and interrupt the moment. Just don’t forget to get off at your stop!^{[6]

Kiss him in the car.

If you or your boyfriend drive to school, turn it into a date! Carpool to school together and stay in the car for a little bit. Then, kiss your BF to your heart’s content without any fear of getting caught!^{[7]

Hide behind a tree in the schoolyard.

It’s not the best hiding place, but it can work in a pinch. Before you and your BF enter school for the day, sneak behind a thick, bushy tree for some alone time. It’s not an ideal kissing spot, but it can get the job done if you don’t want to risk smooching in the halls.^{[8]

- The tree has to be thick enough to hide both you and your beau. If the trunk is too thin, you won’t be fooling anybody.

9

Go for a subtle smooch.

Some couples aren’t fans of smooching in public. That’s okay! If you and your bae aren’t big on PDA, try kissing him somewhere other than his lips. You could give him a quick peck along the tip of his nose, or plant a kiss in the middle of his forehead. Behind the earlobe is another subtle place you can try.^{[9]

- While it can be really fun to try out new kisses, keep your setting in mind, too. For instance, a peck on the cheek and nose could be appropriate in the halls, while a smooch on the jaw or neck is better left for your alone time.
