Discuss?? *squirms*
I don't like PDA (public displays of affection), so why would I want to discuss my first kiss in public?!
Most of you are like, 'what's the big deal? I'm sure it was so long ago..' but see, I married that kisser. And he reads my blog!
I wasn't kissed until I was 17. O.o Yeah, you heard me. In kissing terms that age is ancient and because that age is ancient, I must have had something wrong with me, right?
I was just innocent and plain and everyone's friend.
I made him wait two weeks to even try it.
But I married him for his persistence, his brain that matches my wavelengths, and his ability to make me laugh.
My first love..
I had crushes. I had crushes on Bad Boys. This one guy looked like Jonathan Brandis, oh yeah. Another was baby-faced and tan. If I open my middle-school yearbook and find his picture, it still makes my heart palpitate.
See? I can talk about them because I don't know where they are now!
My first 'boyfriend' was a sham. I was teased and hated and ostracized when the class found out I liked him at the awkward age when I was going through puberty and started to smell. He chased another girl around the playground while I pretended that it was just a cover for our hidden relationship that was mostly in my head.
Then there was the red-headed kid incident, where, like in the book 'flipped', the timing was just not right. I was left pining for my idea of what could have been for years.
Then I had a guy whom my friends claimed I was going out with. I held his hand sometimes, sat with him at lunch, but one day we were like, 'do you think we are more than friends?' and it was a resounding and mutual 'no'.
To love and be loved back was the desire of my heart and the subject of many a whispered prayer.
Until I met my husband.
(insert awww here)
I'd scan and share the prom pictures, but they are SCARY!

Well, I'm 33 and have never been kissed except by grandmothers and the like. I've also never had anything that could be called a romantic relationship.
Doubtless this is for a combination of reasons, but among them is the fact that I like relationships to be slow. The kind of romance that appeals to me is the kind that starts off as a casual friendship, then after a few months becomes a deep friendship, and eventually transforms into something more. I'm not looking for a girlfriend. I'm looking for an apprentice girlfriend. :-)
In a nutshell: I may be a bit of an acquired taste, but I like to think the effort would be worth it... :-)
