Who and Where?

My "friend" and I weren't dating at the time, because my parents had told me I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16... but for all practical purposes, he was my boyfriend, and we had been together about 5 months. We were watching a movie together in his basement when our first kiss happened.

How Did it Happen?

We were sitting on his couch, cuddling a teeny bit (really, just a teeny bit =P)... I got thirsty, so we went upstairs to get some water, and when we walked down the stairs we started flirting a bit... one thing led to another and we kissed. I was leaning with my back against the wall and him up against me... Honestly, it didnt feel very good at first. He kissed too hard and both of us had too much saliva... all in all making for a very strange experience. Looking back, it was really funny, but at the time, it was just weird. After the kiss, we knew we shouldn't have kissed, because that definitely overstepped the not-in-a-relationship status we said we were in.

Our second "first kiss" happened the night he asked me out (with my parents permission =D)... we were on a walk in the moonlight, and we looked into each others eyes and finally leaned in for a kiss. It was great - every thing a REAL first kiss should be - sweet, innocent, delicious, and wonderful =) We kissed for a bit later, alternating with gentle and passionate kisses. I loved it =)

Advice

  • Wait to kiss your significant other. It is SOOOO worth it when you know the kiss isn't just for fun or for kicks, but as an expression of how you feel about each other
  • WAIT UNTIL YOU KNOW YOUR PARENTS ALLOW YOU TO DO IT! Even if they don't know about it, make sure you are allowed to date, at the very least!
  • Let the guy initiate the first kiss... the girl can initiate how ever much she wants after the first one =)
  • Dont freak out if your first kiss doesnt go as planned... it gets better =)
