What Kind of Kiss was It?

By the waterfront. A very long, deep kiss.

Who and Where?

My brother's friend and my classmate

How Did it Happen?

We were at a high school trip to downtown and we were supposed to stay in a premises. I wanted to go and see the waterfront and my friends said no. He said he'd come with me and I was a little shy because I had a crush on him since the first time I met him, about 5 months ago. We were walking by the pathway, with total strangers walking past us and one lady complimented on us being a cute couple. I blushed and he smiled shyly too. Then, I was at the waterfront, and I loved it, since it was the winter time and it looked really beautiful. He started saying beautiful things and then I blurted "I like you" and he looked really deeply into my eyes and brushed his hand across my cheek and kissed me. The kiss was very long and gentle. We've been dating ever since then.

Advice

  • Don't overwhelm yourself about the thoughts! It all happens naturally
  • Take educational risks, if you need to. It's all worth it in the end.
  • Choose the right person, especially for the first kiss. Don't waste it on a total jerk.
