What Kind of Kiss was It?

Open mouthed, gentle and swoon worthy

Who and Where?

My soldier and outside while saying good bye. He was home on leave and we were going to have a week together.

How Did it Happen?

I had spent the whole day with the guy and though I had dated before I was so nervous, the guy who was my friend had just changed to being my boyfriend, and to being a soldier from the goofy, irresponsible dork I knew best. I'm his first girl friend, first kiss, first everything talk about pressure to do this right because he's special to you. So he drove me home around eleven when I was so tired I could hardly stand and we talked in the car in our usual way, intelligent subjects, jokes, and laughter. In my driveway he opened the door for me, walked around to the back of the car to get my stuff out of the trunk then stood with me simply hugging me for a long time. As I was kind of getting bored and wondering if we'd do anything else he tilted my head off his shoulder and give me the gentlest sweep of my lips I've ever received. AND I THANKED HIM.

Advice

  • Go for gentle.
  • Don't rush or put pressure on the other person to kiss you.
  • Your first should be done while your alone.
  • If your heart drops to your feet you've done it right.
