Describe your first kiss
And your first kiss with your husband!
I feel like maybe we did this post a long long time ago... well I don't remember anyone's answers, so let's do it again!
My first kiss: unfortunately, it was in my freshman year in college, when I was drunk, with this guy that I was not attracted to. But he had volunteered to walk me back to the dorm while my friends stayed at the party. It was all tongue jammed in and beer breath. Drinking definitely loosened my inhibitions, and apparently, my taste level in men.
Man I have to say though, I felt like such a loser that I had never been kissed until college!
First kiss with hubby: On 2nd date.... we were walking on Ocean Ave., where there is an ocean view - it was a moonlit night. I wanted it to happen then, but there was a homeless guy nearby, and James did not move in for the kiss (because of this I found out later). James figured out that I had wanted it to happen then.... when we were walking back to the car, I teasingly said that I was mad at him. But he's right, it wouldn't have been that private. It ended up happening in once we got to the car. It was sort of awkward - James was not a good kisser until I taught him how to kiss better! ; )
What about you?
Re: Describe your first kiss
OMG...I'm such a slut! My first kiss was the summer after my 6th grade year! What can I say...there's not really all that much to do in and around the cornfields of Iowa!
I was at summer camp and he was a year older. We had flirted all week leading up to the "big dance" on the last night of camp. We danced all night and then went out to the campfire for songs and s'mores. It was a total full on make out session and I can't believe to this day that nobody saw us or stopped us (especially now that I sent MY daughter to this same camp last summer, YIKES!). He had braces but I remember it as being a real nice kiss. Never saw or spoke to him again as he went to a different schoole!
My first kiss was at my Junior Prom. I took the brother of my sisters friend. He was older in his early 20's. Anyhoo, it wasn't very good and made me feel really creepy. I wasn't expecting his tongue in my mouth and it was slimy and gross, seriously I'm feeling yucky just thinking about it right now.
My first kiss from my husband isn't any better. We had been drinking after work with a bunch of other coworkers. Every one had already gone home. I was wasted out of my mind and was puking on the curb....I told you it wasn't any better. He was sweet though and we hung out with each other for a couple more hours just talking until I felt better. We started making out, it got pretty intense and then we stopped because I got freaked out.....it was one of those moments where we weren't really sure what just happened. Then it didn't happen again for another 6 or 7 years. It was much better the second time around though
jen - don't feel bad! my first kiss wasn't until college either. funny story - in my junior high school english class we were reading the great gatsby. a fellow classmate was relating gatsby's unrequieted desire and expectations for daisy is much like one's anticipation of the first kiss - you think it'll be great, you build it up, and when it happens you're kind of disappointed. and i said, loud enough for the entire class to hear, "great, ruin it for the rest of us". everyone's heads whipped around and knew, then, that poor me had never been kissed.
i was quiet, nerdy and when to an all-girl school. go figure.
my first kiss was with, it would turn out, my college boyfriend - we dated all 4 years, everyone thought we'd get married. it was ok, he was very nice and patient, but once tounge got involved (his was out, my lips were firmly closed) i had no idea what was going on. later he said (albiet sweetly) "it was like kissing a dead fish". i would have been insulted, i guess, if i couldn't get the thought out of my head of "what have you been doing kissing dead fish?".
first kiss with MH was pretty nice. i think we were on a picnic lunch in the park, it was all very romantic, except he had laid me down on the blanket and we were kissing, but we were near the road and i couldn't stop thinking about the cars driving by witnessing this spectacle. of course, now it's all married people pecks and i always say "remember when we used to really kiss???". *sigh*
my first kiss happened when I was a month shy of 15. My family went camping every summer for two weeks at the same bay/beach park which was so much fun. I had a huge crush on this guy that summer and a few days before we left, we finally kissed. It was on a picnic bench on the beach at night, we had snuck away from our families and finally confessed to liking each other. We kissed and I said "That was weird" because I had no idea what to expect and I just blurted it out! He definitely took offense to that... hahaha! We eneded up "dating" for a few months but it didn't last since we lived an hour apart and we didn't drive, but we are still friends now!
My first kiss with DH was like a dream or a movie! We ended up going for a walk on the beach after our third date. It was a full moon and no one else was around, we ended up putting our feet in the water and I turned around and he was right there! We ended up kissing and it just felt like really, really romantic with the moon and the ocean and him! This was the same beach where we had our first date and where he ended up proposing.
I'm a bigger slut than you are, because my first kiss was in... preschool! Well, it was just a peck so maybe that doesn't count... It was with this Japanese boy whose mom my mom was very good friends with. We played after school all the time and even our dads became friends. At the end of preschool, his family had to go back to Japan so we had a farewell dinner with them. When it was time to say bye, his dad said something like, "how about a kiss, you two?" and so we, being the good obedient kids we were, kissed on the lips!
My first kiss with DH was a drunken one before we were even dating. It let to some awkward talks about where this was headed. We started dating officially about 2 weeks after that.
My first "real" kiss was the summer before 8th grade (13 years old?!). He pretty much taught me everything I now know about kissing. LoL. And I thought he was moving too fast.
My first kiss with hubbers, we had only been casually talking for a week or so and it was awkward. LoL. He had walked me to my car after a late night at the bar and I guess neither one of us was tipsy enough for it not to be awkward. haha
haven't had time yet to read all the stories, but thanks so much, they are so great!!!
I don't think getting kissed in 6th grade makes you a slut btw. I thought around then or at least junior high/ high school was normal.
As soon as I get a chance, I have to come back and read everything!
