Steps

Step 1
Hang mistletoe out of the way
Hang your mistletoe away from the busiest parts of the house or office, but don't hide it, either.
-
Step 2
Monitor alcohol consumption
Monitor your target's alcohol consumption, if either person is inebriated then an innocent kiss may complicate things or make them awkward.
-
Step 3
Be prepared
Be prepared with mouthwash or mints and, when the time comes, offer your target a mint to put them at ease about their breath.
-
Avoid gum -- you may not get a chance to discard it before the big smooch.
-
Step 4
Choose a close spot
Choose a spot near the mistletoe, but don't hover or wait for someone to come along. Being too eager may give the wrong impression.
-
Step 5
Pick the perfect time
Pick a good time to meet your special someone under the mistletoe, like after dinner or after they've had a chance to talk with friends and settle in.
-
Step 6
Respect personal space
Respect their personal space by keeping a little distance between the two of you. If you sense the kiss is unwanted, just give a little peck on the cheek.
