Look at it this way. Teach him how to be a good kisser, now you have he man of your dreams and he's good at making out with you.

Was he an octopus O.o

I've suffered a similar fate...I guy I once dated kisses me like he was trying to gnaw my face off LOL! The next morning my mouth was red & raw, it was awful. I was too chicken to talk to him about it & avoided him for weeks but he was relentless. I broke it to him & he appreciated that I was honest with him. I had already met someone else by that point so I didn't go back out with him...but now I wish I would have told him right away & given him a second chance. So don't be chicken OP!! Tell him you'd like to be kissed a different way & have fun getting to dreamy kissing :-)

I hope, for your sake, that you don't take a human anatomy course.

hickey on the chin is pretty bad. i had a guy who was a " sex god" in his eyes and bragged about taking a lot of girls virginity. when he kissed he would stick his tongue in your mouth and drool. now i know why virgins sleep with him.

You mean "ex man of my dreams" right? Dump him. There's no hope for your relationship after that happens. I mean, who does he think he is, kissing you incorrectly??? The nerve! You deserve better! !!! Seriously, just tell him how you like to be kissed & how excited you get when he does this or that. Ask him how he likes he things to be done. It's really not that big of a deal. If it turns out he can't handle the critique or doesn't care about your wants, then I stand by the first part of this statement.

Well this worries me a bit

You can teach him.

If that changes how you feel about him maybe you don't deserve to be happy

Wasn't this in an old "Sex and the City" episode?
