Guy, you're still young, wait five years, you'll have tons of kissing stories to tell. :)

[jrebel7]

Okay, I will be the first to admit this is a little sappy. It isn't when I read it and relive the moment in my mind because when I do, I am just 14 again and receiving my first kiss but right now I feel a little silly sharing it. I have written down things for years in poetry form, music form, journals, etc. So just sharing here tonight, a private little moment in a forum that OH, JUST GOES ALL OVER THE WORLD! :)

FIRST KISS
Written by Jrebel7


He stood six feet tall.
I was mesmerized by him.
I, shy at fourteen;
He, sixteen, seemed all I could imagine.

We talked and had quiet times.
He respected my innocence,
Was gentle beyond words;
Trust was built by moments.

We held hands.
His were so strong;
Made me feel protected.
His face was perfect.

We sat together in church as we learned
About a God that loved us both.
He received Jesus;
What more could I dream!

He was open and honest,
Kept his word each day;
Showed me respect;
He made me feel special.

The night was warm
The breeze refreshing;
The air was clear and clean.
We stood facing each other.

Standing on the driveway of my home,
We talked quietly.
It was just he and I in the world.
We stood, frozen in time!

He asked if I had ever been kissed
I told him no and worried;
He might think I was too innocent.
His eyes told me it was okay.

He began to speak
As he studied my face.
He stood so close
But respectfully so.

He placed his strong
But gentle hand up to my chin.
He explained he was going to help me,
Then began to instruct.

His gentleness made me feel secure.
I listened as he spoke.
He said to slightly turn my head
And part my lips but just a bit.

He told me to lean in to him.
My heart was racing,
I did not know what to expect
Yet I knew it was a moment I would not forget!

I did as he said; I trusted him completely.
He gently and slowly turned his head
Only slightly and his face moved
Toward mine as we looked into each others eyes.

The tip of his fingers
Were on my chin
As if he were guiding a delicate flower,
His lips touched my lips.

It was better than I had imagined.
His lips stayed on mine
But only for moments.
Our lips fit perfectly together!

This moment was set in motion
As if God had orchestrated it
From Heaven
Not to ever be forgotten.

That moment was sealed
Forever in my heart.
His gentleness and caring
Showed how love should always be.

My heart raced
Yet I felt calm.
He made me feel safe
Yet so alive.

No one could have asked
For a more perfect first kiss.
He then hugged me close to him
And the sparkle in his eyes

And the smile on his face
Made me know
All was right
With my world and his!



I've heard that no one forgets their first kiss. I don't know if that is true or not. I only know for me, this moment in time, no matter what else happens in life, will be encapsulated in my heart and mind, every detail, every feeling relived as if it happened just last night. Many of my friends kissed our friends when they were in elementary school. Young girls share with me today that they had sex when they were only ten years old; some have been molested, some raped while on drugs. I wish I could give every young girl their innocence back and they could have a special moment like this in their life. Maybe this experience I had would not be for everyone. Each of us have our own special moments that are unique unto ourselves and that is how it should be. Some are funny, some scary, some tender, some embarrassing but we own those moments all to ourselves (UNTIL OF COURSE WE SHARE THEM WITH THE WORLD LIKE TONIGHT!!!) LOL

I remember that I was in the 7th grade at the time.
One Saturday I was allowed to go to the movies for 25 cents, afternoon matinée on our military base. Cleopatra was showing (don't ask - I guess age groups were not restricted at the time).

This 'older' guy I had a crush on sat next to me, and placed his arm around me - WOW was I feeling grown up.

Next thing I know he has his tongue down my throat and I bit him. He had to get up and go outside - I think it was to yell.. And me.. I was sure right then and there that I was pregnant. So much for sex education then, and it was all a taboo according to my mom.

Now, I can laugh about it.

Now, aren't you younger kids glad you didn't have to grow up those 'centuries' ago?

Honest, I've learned a little more since then.



Needless to say, I saved my daughter from that type of embarrassment.

LOL That was a great story Chery! I bet the guy hasn't forgotten you or that moment to this day! Loved it. :p

[Chery]

That's what people tell me... I'm the unforgettable type. Not sure it's all good for some people I met, ha ha. My ex will never forget me either - I bet he'll have nightmares for a long time.

When I was working in the Pulmonary Disease Clinic in our hospital, a woman I recognized as the teacher who took my marbles and washed my mouth out with soap in the third grade in Japan walked in as a patient. I told her that I remembered her as one of my teachers there and she actually remembered the marbles and told me she kept all of the stuff she 'confiscated' from her students. She told me that she predicted that I would have a good career then and was glad to see me again. Ironic, she died of lung cancer 6 months later. That was over 20 years ago.


Have a great weekend all!

[Alty]

Wow, wow, wow, Rebbie and Chery, loved the stories, I wish mine was a sweet or as memorable.

Chery, you bit his tongue, way to go girl, bet he didn't try that again anytime soon. ;)

[lengkyx]

I do remember my first kiss. Haha. It was just last year after my 24th birthday celebration. Long time coming I know. But it was worth it. I kissed someone I really liked.

He smokes so it was weird but my love for him was more than enough to make it all a pleasure for me.

[JudyKayTee]

I was reviewing a question from a young teen, and it was all about her first kiss.

How about you all, do you all remember your first kiss, from the boyfriend or girlfriend.

I can remember mine like it was yesterday. and it has been a couple years short of 40 years. I can still close my eyes and remember her face, and the fact she was so much sorter than me, she was standing on the step.

I guess part of the sad thing is that of course both moving on, one can never really talk to the other one or really anyone ( expect here where only millions will read it)

But do anyone else sometimes allow their mind to wonder back to times like this and just smile.

does anyone want to share a memory of that special time. Or do some of you not even remember it?

Let's see, first kiss - I was 16, he was 19 (an older man). I can't remember his name! I thought he was sophisticated beyond words because he held the cigarette between his thumb and index finger when he smoked. Go figure. Anyway - my father disliked him intensely. Said older man invited me to a picnic at the beach with his College friends. It was intensely hot out, there was potato salad, I was very nervous with all these "older" people, I'm very light skinned, I got very sunburned and somewhat queasy because of the sun/potato salad, at the end of the day he brought me home, leaned over, kissed me - and I threw up on my parents' driveway. My father always said this was an omen. At any rate, he never called me again.

How about best pick-up line? On my third date with my husband - and he later told me the third date was the charm, I never heard that "man rule" - during dinner he suddenly said, "I have to tell you something."

My heart stopped - I thought he was married. All I could think of was how much I liked him and he was married! We were sitting on a restaurant patio, overlooking a lake, and I considered jumping into the lake. I actually picked up my purse, ready to smack him with it and stalk out - 3" heels and all.

And he said, "I'm in trouble. I forgot my insulin. I have to go back to my condo." And I said, dizzy with relief, "Oh, are you diabetic?" - that's absolutely the only thing that came to my mind. In retrospect, well, anyway -

He could have said just about anything at that point, including being a serial killer on parole, and I would have sensed nothing but relief about the not married part.

And he mumbled something about waiting until the time was right to tell me, we had our dinners packaged up and off we went. He was too shaky to drive so I drove "us" (and our dinners) in his car, an hour back to his condo. I couldn't drive in 3" heels so he had to hold them and I had to drive in bare feet.

When we got there he put Gladiator in the DVD player for me to watch when he went off to do whatever he went off to do.

He eventually came back and all I remember about the movie is the fake tigers and something about Russell Crowe in a sarong-like thing. I still have never finished that movie!

And I don't think we ate the dinners, either.

We got married 2 months later.

Until the day he died he swore he really did forget his insulin - I've never been really sure.

I enjoyed your post immensely. It made me laugh, smile, cry tears in my heart, touched many areas of my heart. I am so glad you shared your stories. I am sorry for the passing of your husband but what a precious sweet story and memory to share.

Thank you - I was an extremely lucky woman. If you're lucky you get struck by lightning once in your lifetime.

I should also mention that my husband invoked the "3 date rule" for our entire marriage - no headache if it happened to be the third time we went out. Apparently it's some sort of unwritten rule. Our wedding anniversary was during his final hospitalization and on that day he held up 3 fingers - no one knew the inside joke and I laughed out loud. And he smiled back.

[Fr_Chuck]

Pick up lines, that is scary, I remember when I went to work for the Justice Dept, they did a complete background on me, sent investigators to all my neighbors and employers for the past 10 years, college investigations, they even had interviews with "girls" from colleges and yes, had a list of lines I had used on them. I had to write a report on a lot of the things from these reports explaining them, They had things from people I did not even remember ever happening

What a blessing to have had this sweet relationship with him. Thank you for sharing even more of your time with him. Warms the heart! So few enjoy this kind of bond with their spouse. It is refreshing to read such a great post.

That first kiss story was just a hoot!! Loved it also. Funny story regarding the holding of the cigarette... I was in a car pool when in college. The guy who drove most of the time held his cigarette like you described and would take short little inhales. Now my dad use to roll his own cigarettes when I was a child. He would take out the paper, tap in the tobacco, lick across the paper then roll it together and there was his cigarette. Now bear in mind, I am a little naïve to this day and it wasn't until two years ago, a friend was over and we were reminiscing about our college days. She mentioned this guy and says he asks about me every time she sees him. We talked about his cool car and then I mentioned the cigs and how he would hold it and thought it was just cool :cool: because it was different than most. My friends eyes got wide as saucers and she said, "Reid (that is what she has always called me), you do know he was smoking pot, right?" I said, "No, no, he just rolled his own like daddy. I have seen daddy do that many times." She rolls her eyes :rolleyes: and says, "Reid, no, I am telling you he was smoking pot." Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather. We laughed until we cried. I said, "Well, there was one time he told me I was to never ever smoke pot (being sort of a big brother type), but if I did, it was to only be with him, no one else. I could trust him but not others. Well, I laughed and just went on... but... your story brought this story to mind. Since you have given me such a fun, sweet day with your post, I hope this has made you smile!! :p

So, are you going to share some of those "pick up lines" you used with the rest of us!! :p

[Chadl0420]

It was in one of those long silver tubes on the playground @ my school during lunch. I was in grade 2 and this girl Carla Tochinuk got 2 of her girlfriends to block either end of the tube with just me and her in it. She tried to make me kiss her but I refused (cause girls were still gross haha). Then the school buzzer went off and all the kids ran back to class, but they still wouldn't let meout. I didn't want to get into trouble, so I gave her a quick kiss and that was that lol. She went back and bragged and embarrassed me, but I was glad I did it later on. Oh the memories!

You sure did make me smile - wonder how much kids are missing right now by being so worldly at such a young age.

And I look back and wonder if I really was ever as stupid as I really was!

[Chery]

I know that most people think of 'romance of a sort' when asked about their first kiss... but I bet that most of us girls got their real first kiss from their Daddy!
My aunt told me that my dad knew I was going to be a girl (this was the time before ultrasounds) and that he got his wish. He was so proud of me and took me almost everywhere. And if he was anything like most parents, I probably got more kisses from him in the two years he was with me than I got in the past 10 years. Sure wish I could remember them.
I know where my grandson got his first kiss - it was right after he was born and it was from his Grandmother! I kissed his neck, his hands and his feet. I have not stopped smooching him since. Even though he's advanced to 'gimme five' hand claps now (he's almost 2), he still squeeks when I pucker up and has ticklish feet just like his mother.

You're right Chad... oh, those memories.

My favorite pick up line, even though it's cheesy;

"Excuse me, I seem to have lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?"

Love that line, simple, yet effective. :)

I guess FrChuck isn't going to share HIS best lines -

This subject got me and my best friend reminiscing over the phone (she's moved out of State). We both have heard some amazing lines.

Her favorite is, he said "Do your eyes bother you?" She responded, "No, why?" He responded, "Because they sure bother me."

My favorite is - and I had forgotten all about this - I'm very blonde, this jerk came up to me and said (out of the blue), "Does your collar match your cuffs?" I had never heard that before, truly had no idea what he was talking about and didn't even know enough to be startled. I mumbled something and he wandered off to bother someone else. I guess the line worked on occasion or he wouldn't have used it but I can't imagine.

Not a line but my best friend was wearing a fall - do people still wear falls? - over her short hair and some guy admired her hair, patted her on the head, his ring got caught in her fall and he ripped it off her. She stood there in short hair and he stood with her hair dangling from his hand. I must admit I wasn't much help because I was hysterical with laughter. She still holds a grudge from that incident.

My NYC roommate had a very successful modeling career and had a huge suntan lotion campaign - we would go out and people would say, "You look familiar to me. Do I know you?" and she would act dumb and that would be the end of that. One time we were on an airplane and "he" had a magazine in his lap, open to "her" ad - and he still didn't get the connection - just thought she looked familiar.

[tashie08]

My first kiss was when I was 6 years old I believe... and the guy put his tongue in my mouth!

I had no idea what I was doing but I tried to go with the flow.
