First Kisses, First Impressions
Do you remember YOUR first kiss? How about your first kiss with your current love, if you’re in a relationship?
I came across an article on kissing and this part jumped out at me:
Kisses can convey important information about the status and future of a relationship. At the extreme, a bad first kiss can abruptly curtail a couple’s future.
Wow, that’s a big statement, isn’t it? The article goes on to state that in a poll, 66% of the women asked said they’d lose interest in an otherwise positive relationship if the kiss sucked (to paraphrase just a little). And you know what? I can totally see a bad kiss being the deal breaker in a relationship. I mean, the meeting of lips is definitely a major priority. Ideally, that first kiss is like, WOW. Fireworks, igniting passion, intense sparks. Oh, yeah baby.
That’s how I love writing them. Those ‘give in to passion’ moments that are such major turning points for the characters. Aren’t they in real life as well? I do think so – I know my first kiss was (and it’s been a looooong time, but I can totally still remember the first time my husband kissed me. *sigh*).
But how about when that first kiss sucks? Have you ever given the guy a second chance? Or is it like that first impression – you never get a chance to do it over?
And what about a so-so kiss? One that’s nice, but not quite your style? Would you give this kind of kisser a second chance?
I haven’t had any bad kisses, and I can’t say wether or not I would give a guy a second chance if he was a bad kisser. Mabey I would teach him how to be a great kisser. Who knows? I do remember the first time my husband kissed me. It was the first night I stayed at his place. We were watching a movie, and by the time the movie was over it was midnight. While I was taking the movie out and putting it back, my husband went to get a glass of water from the kitchen. When he came out, he was staring at me with a grin. I said,”What?” He told told me that he would like to kiss me if that was all right. I thought, he’s asking me permission to kiss me? I have never been asked permission from someone to kiss me before. Usually, they just did. I was surprised and happy. It showed that he respected my personal space. So, I walked over to him, butterflies fluttering wildly in my stomach, and he kissed me slowly and tenderly. He carressed his tounge with mine, and it just made me want him all the more.
My first kiss was in kindergarten. I kissed him and he punched me and made me lose my first tooth. LOL My first grown up kiss was in high school. He kissed like a puppy dog. All wet and sloppy. Ewww! Good thing the hubby kisses like a dream, or there wouldn’t have been a second date. hahahahha
Hmmmm, Samantha, that makes me think of a plotline I’ve been playing with — An older woman/younger man ‘tutor’ kind of thing
Maybe she should teach him the BEST way to kiss, huh?
Your husband sounds sooooo wonderful
Very hot first kiss! Its easy to see why you kept him 
OMG Jill LOLOL – talk about a first kiss impression! Did you punch him back? And ewwwwwwwwww on the puppy dog kisses. Puppy dog eyes are cute. Kisses? Just gross. Good call on letting that one loose. And YAY on the hot hubby kisses
So its sounding like first kisses ARE really important impressions, huh?
To be honest, my first kiss wasn’t all that great but I was so flattered and flustered, I let him kiss me again.
But the first kiss my husband gave me was fantastic *g*
As for getting rid of a bad kisser, I don’t think that’s totally necessary. I’m sure if the bad kisser was willing, the kissee could teach them a few good kissing techniques
