Question
I have a retainer on the roof of my mouth, and was wondering if someone could feel it if they make out with me?
Answer
Depends on how you make out, but the other person may feel it - you will have to ask. If you feel close enough to this person to let them make out with you, certainly a retainer will not be an issue.
Whatever you do, do not take it out and lose it - it will be hard to explain to your parents.
