It’s kind of saddening that I haven’t had a first kiss, considering I’m going on 19 AND have lip-locked with several people. Oh I’ve kissed before, for various lengths of time and in various styles – but a “first kiss”? Not once. Not even my first lip-lock was ‘WAZZAH! I kissed somebody! And it was bloody fantastic!’ – though I did get in my head that yea, kissing was an interesting thing to do.
Okay, so I was excited about it at first, and I’m a guy who doesn’t mind a good lip-lockin’ good time at all. But I did come to meet people who had not-so nice kisses. Got really wet ones, had one where I received some bad breath, and some that are just one way or other bad. So, kissing came to stay in just the “interesting” category as an activity.
There were good ones, of course. But like I said, there weren’t any amazing ones that took my breath away or made sparks fly or anything, not even the first one I had (which was, traditionally, with my girlfriend of the time). Not to say her kisses were bad, because they were heated and quite satisfying. However, there was never ‘the spark’ that many people talk about. Maybe it doesn’t exist, but something about that first kiss is supposed to be special, isn’t it? Something that makes you remember it.
Or perhaps I should say it this way, I’ve never had my first real kiss. I’ve just made out with a lot of people. Snogging can be fun. I’ve just never had that kiss where it was soft and sweet, with maybe something tentative behind it. Or maybe that’s just a romantic thing that’s been hyped up and illustrated with rose-tinted glasses. Heh, and what does that say of all the people I’ve ever kissed?
Well, and for one thing – besides my first girlfriend – most of them came with a price.
