First Date/First Kiss
| Sun, 07-09-2006 - 10:03pm |
I'm 20 and just went on my first real date. I've known the guy for a little over a year. I work with him and he's also a cousin of a close friend. We had a great time, he asked to see me again and I agreed. The only ackward moment was when I got the vibes that he was going to kiss me. I've never been kissed and it freaked me out!If I knew what I was doing I probably would have kissed him because I really do like him. My avoidance seemed to surprise him. He doesn't know that I'm so unexperienced and I'm not sure I want him to know. We're going to get together again later in the week. What if he tries to kiss me again? I'm really freaking out. HELP!
I know this is dumb, but ugh this is why I've avoided dating I'm clueless!

Hi beth8604...
Pianoguy was originally thinking about offering "kissing practice sessions" at your home or place of work! But considering the fact that your parents and/or employers probably wouldn't 'embrace' this idea---why not talk with one or two of your closer g/f's about the proper way to KISS?
No close friend is gonna tease you and I'll bet they can offer a few suggestions before you go out on Date #2?
Good Luck!

Hi,
I am so happy I read your post. You remind me of an old friend of mine, that I miss very much.
Several years ago, she called me and asked me how to kiss a man (she must have gotten advice from Pianoguy). While I have to admit I was surprised that a college graduate was asking me such a question and I really didn't have any idea how to answer it at the time.
Just relax and let the first kiss happen naturally (assuming that is what you want). The more you worry the more awkward it will be. Don't worry about where to put your hands or what way to tilt your head. Trust me you will know when the time is right.
I understand you are reluctance to tell him about your inexperience at this stage, but I wouldn't lie about it either (should it come up). Later you may want him to know. Keep in mind if he is the cousin of a close friend, he could already know (that is if he asked his cousin about you before asking you out).
