My First Kiss (Kind of)

Picture from here
This article is in two parts - the de facto first kiss and the first relationship first kiss. Ideologically they are quite different so I thought it would be best to separate them out.
De Facto First Kiss
Not the first girl I kissed
When I was in kindergarten I didn’t know how to deal with girls. I thought you were supposed to kiss girls (I was 5). So I had a girl I liked named Laura. I used to chase her around the room and give her kisses on the cheek or on the lips. I would have been a regular Casanova, but she didn’t like it. She got teased about it. I got teased about it. Eventually I guess it got to me because I stopped. That however was my de facto first kiss.
Real First Kiss
I was so not the pimp
I was a sophmore in high school, how I managed to get a girlfriend I still have no idea. Yet I did manage to. In the fall (somehwere in October-November) of 1991 I had my first kiss. It was at my girlfriend’s best friends house up the street from my parent’s house. I can say I don’t honestly know if we were actually dating yet though. We were sitting on the hood of her blue 1991 Mercury Topaz. It was odd, uncomfortable, strange. Of course I assume it’s almost always that way for a first kiss or just a first…….
