How was your first kiss (with your SO) ?

[rina]

We were just talking earlier and we remembered how our first kiss was and i got the idea of making a thread to tell the story behind first kisses with your SO. It's a lovely memory and sometimes it just gets forgotten over time and it's a shame to see it disappear, so i'm gonna write it here, the moments between when we met and we kissed, didn't take that long anyway

Our first kiss was under .. peculiar circumstances. He just arrived at the airport and i'd just picked him up, when i surprised him with a 3-4 day trip to Danube. My colleagues from school decided to have a little outing and one of them came to pick us up and drive us there, roughly 60km from Bucharest, at a place called Malu Rosu, near Giurgiu. So we just dropped off his luggage, picked up some last minute shopping for a barbecue, and off we went.

The ride there was pretty fun just checking each other out and making light conversation, he was so overwhelmed with the change of scenery and trying to follow with my friends' conversation which he couldn't understand a word out of. We had the backseat all to ourselves, another friend was supposed to join but she hitched a ride with someone else so we had all the room in the world, and the further we drove the closer we got to each other.

I remember i was dying with excitement at the thought of holding his hand and finally feeling his warmth and the softness of his skin.. call me a helpless romantic. I was moving my hand subtly closer and closer, waiting for him to grab it; wanted to give him time to adjust, but deep down inside i was screaming at him: Grab it already!

Long story short, he did, massive butterflies, we cuddled .. and the cuddling didn't stop till he left for home . Fun part began when we finally got to where we were supposed to stay for a few days. I took a risk with that because i've never been there before and my friends failed to mention the "no power" part and the swarms of mosquitoes lurking about.

We got there and the main concern quickly became hiding from the mosquitoes, cause my very smart friends kept the doors open and the house was full of them, so we decided to grab a blanket and stay outside near the fire in the hopes that the smoke will drive them away.

Next thing i know we were rolled up in the blanket trying to cover feet, and elbows, and being surrounded by the lovely humming of those damn mosquitoes, and every time one of us moved the other got some body part unprotected by the blanket that was immediately attacked by the insects.

So among all the squirming and the buzzing and the smoke, he kissed me . Just a small, quick shy kiss, but boy.. plenty more kisses came after that


I have written a ridiculously long post for totally selfish reasons, so that i might come back from time to time and relive those lovely moments

Our first kiss happened shortly after I picked him up from the air port. We were both really nervous and shy but we got over it. Anyways after I picked him up we dropped his luggage off at my house then headed to the beach. We went out into the water and he was splashing me and threw me in the water so I jumped on his back to try to push him under. It didn't work. After we were done laughing and trying soak each other he pulled me close and kissed me. (:

We were getting ready for our date out in Mystic, and both of us were very shy about making the first move, keep in mind i made love to her earlier so us being shy about kissing each other was kinda funny lol. I decided to write a note on the hotel paper that was in the room which said "Honey??? kisses? please!" and showed it to her, she then came over wrapped her arms around me came nose to nose with me and just stayed there for a few minutes until she worked up enough courage to kiss me, which felt amazing and very familar almost like we were picking up where we left off

[Jayburr]

That's a great story and I love it! haha

Mine doesn't involve any mosquitoes, in fact, mine took place in a very nice hotel, sorry, haha

So anyway, my SO picked me up at the airport, and honestly, I was expecting to kiss her right then and there, but when we saw each other for the first time, she was so nervous that she couldn't even look at me. So, the kiss wasn't going to happen, not even a hug would happen at that moment! She quickly led me to an elevator where we could have some privacy and we finally embraced each other but, no kiss. It just wasn't the right time yet, hehe.

We walked to her car and began driving into the city. The whole time driving she was telling me how if she caught me looking at her, it made her blush and feel even more nervous. I couldn't stop looking at her though, she was wearing a very sexy loose dress and heels that of course made her look irresistible...it was hard to not watch her... As we got close to the hotel, she suggested dropping me off there while she went and parked her car, so that I could unpack or do anything I needed to do (i.e. this was her way of getting me out of the car so she could calm down a little, lol). She didn't admit that, but I knew that was her reason, so I agreed and checked in to our room.

As I waited for her, we texted a little bit and I let her know the room and floor number. I was just sitting there, alone with my thoughts, wondering how I was going to initiate the first kiss. I knew it HAD to be done soon because before I knew it, it would be night time and we'd be sleeping in the same bed and, with some of our previous discussions and 'experiences' over the phone, it would be a little awkward to be sleeping in the same bed and have nothing 'happen,' if you know what I mean, lol... Before I'd flown there, we joked about how as soon as we got into the hotel room, and the door was shut...I would have her up against the wall However, when she did return and came up to our room, she knocked, I opened the door, I closed it behind her, and I held back my urge to grab her hand and pull her into me, lol. I decided that, while a move like we imagined might work well in a movie or something, it might not translate as well here, so I held back and decided I would not be aggressive like that and let it happen naturally, gently...more gentlemen-like, hehe.

We chit-chatted a little bit as she unpacked some of her things and explored the room and bathroom. Then, when she sat down on the bed, I decided it would be a good time to give her a birthday present I had for her. Her birthday was just a week or so earlier, and I'd already given her a gift, but the one I brought with me was a surprise, and one that I'd worked very hard on. I won't say exactly what it was, but in the weeks before this trip, she had lost something that was very important to her, and basically defined our relationship. After countless hours and days of work, I was able to re-create what she lost, and this was my surprise gift to her.

I handed her the gift, and when she opened it, there was a slight moment of uncertainty because I don't think she quite knew what it was. Then she opened it further and, at that moment I knew we were both holding back what we wanted to do... I was so nervous though, and I just didn't feel it was the right moment yet, so I stalled and basically looked at her gift some more with her, explaining how I got the idea for certain parts of it, etc, etc...just wasting time until I could gather up enough courage to make a move. Then, she scooted close to me, right up against me. I casually placed my hand on the bed behind her, leaning my body toward her some as we continued to pretend we really cared about looking/talking about the gift still.

Finally, we came to a moment of silence after she thanked me and told me no one has ever done anything like that for her. Looking into her eyes, I think I said something like "I'm glad you like it baby..." and then another short moment of silence before I decided this was THE time... I didn't feel 100% ready for it, but I figured that with the way we were sitting, the way I was looking her, and her at me...this moment would turn out worse if I abandon it than if I just take a chance and kiss her... So...I WENT FOR IT! I gently place my hand on her cheek, and I remember her face feeling so warm... I let my hand gently slide down a bit, partly on her cheek, partly on her neck, and I slowly moved in to kiss her. I didn't bother with any of that 'go 90% of the way in, let her come the other 10%' technique, I figured she was too nervous to probably do anything and might get scared and think I was changing my mind about kissing her if I stopped and waited for her lol. So, I went all the way in. I gave her a single, long, slow kiss...before pulling away slightly, my forehead still pressed against hers, and then we continued kissing much much more after that...

Probably needless to say, there would be no awkwardness sleeping in bed together that night, or any following nights

Our first kiss was unexpected
We were friends before we started dating but I was kind of interested after I broke up with my ex boyfriend but we were just hanging out as friends.

So he was just back from a business trip and I had written him on facebook if he was back yet and that I had withdrawal symptoms (referring to missing him). He got back to me a day later. It was a Monday he he thought I meant I wanted to get drunk, haha. So we met up in a bar close to where I live and after a couple of drinks we went to my place and then it happened. Not really romantic but... hot! We were joking around and all of a sudden he came closer and just kissed me.
I remember my thoughts in that moment: finally. I had waited for weeks for that moment and I didn't know whether it would ever happen.
My second thought was: wow! He is such a good kisser. I could still kiss him for hours

[Dezface]

It was about 2 minutes after we met in person. Haha. We were hugging and squeezing after he pretty much ran to me in the airport and I was so wrapped up in it I forgot all about kissing! But then he pulled away and leaned in and planted his amazing lips on me and it was perfect..ahhh can't wait to feel that again!

[flugelhorn]

For our first date my boyfriend & I went on a day trip to Bath (we were both living in London at the time). We had sent (lengthy) Facebook messages back & forth for 5 weeks before this date (I was super busy with school & people visiting) & had hung out casually a few times before (/ we both really liked each other but were too chicken to admit it & do anything!).

The tension was running high all day. Every time we met this boy would greet me & say goodbye to me with a kiss on the cheek & I was so sure he liked me - so why didn't he pull a move?! We had a great day in Bath seeing all the sights, including walking up Beechen Cliff. The day in Bath was gray & rainy but as we approached the top of the cliff the clouds parted & the sun shone down - creating a golden glow on the houses made of Bath stone. As we stood there I think we put our arms around each other & I thought 'this is it - he's going to kiss me.' I was wrong. As we walked down the hill I was sure he didn't like me - I mean, that was the perfect (first) kissing spot!

We had dinner then got back on the train to London. Tired from the day, I put my head on his shoulder. The next thing I knew he was holding my hand (butterflies!). As we approached Paddington station & walked along the platform we were still holding hands. We swiped our Oyster cards & headed down a tunnel to our respective Tube lines & reached a fork in the road. As I turned around to say goodbye he had this crazy smile on his face & said "well....", clapped his hands (I'm not kidding) then pulled me in for the kiss. We stayed there for AN HOUR(!) talking about how much we liked each other & kissing & blocking everyone's way, etc etc etc. It was not the most romantic spot but that's the story.

Bonus post-script: I was so dizzy from all this I went the wrong way on the Tube! As I was waiting on my new (correct) platform I heard a clink. I looked down & the ring I had worn since I was 15 had broken in half. I hadn't hit or anything - I had even taken it off earlier in the day to show my SO & it looked perfect. So, my theory behind that one is that the ring was cursed & my SO's kiss broke the curse. Call me silly if you want but it's my story & I'm sticking to it. :P

My first kiss with my boyfriend was my first kiss ever It was so wonderful. It happened the second day he was here. We were just sitting on the couch and it was so natural. Absolutely perfect.

[sewbama]

Awesome thread, and flugelhorn, your story is GREAT! It's never the perfect romantic dreamy kind of things that make good stories. It's the unexpected, weird, but perfect because of the company stories that are the most memorable, and that's what yours is!

My first kiss with my SO was... odd. We met online, and he lived about 60 miles from me. We sent extremely long emails for a few weeks, and even then, I knew he was really special. I just wanted to ensure there was physical chemistry. I was so nervous and excited when I was finally going to meet him. We spoke on the phone for the first time on a Thursday after a football game, during which we texted and I told him I was cold and he said he'd get me a hat. To this day, he owes me that hat, and he says he always will. Anyway, so we talked when I got home and after an hour or so, he asked me for a date on Saturday. Of course, I agreed. I asked what he wanted to do, and he said make out on the couch.... Such a man... He's so shy and isn't quite so direct, so I don't know what had gotten into him then, but w/e.

So Saturday comes (after another lengthy phone conversation on Friday), and I was so nervous and excited. I was sewing at my sewing machine, which sat by the window in the front of the building. I even had the windows open, so I could see and hear him coming (but I was on the second floor-- he couldn't see me). I was so excited to see him, I opened the door as he walked up the stairs, before he even knocked! I just couldn't wait. He was completely thrown off. He says now that he was planning to kiss me immediately, but I shocked him out of that. He also says he knew he loved me then, too. But anywho. So we didn't kiss then. I showed him around my place. It was awkward. We were still getting used to each other. Then we went to dinner. It was great. It was at dinner that I knew I loved him. There was an exact moment, too. It was perfect.

We got back from dinner, and I put my leftovers in the fridge (oh, um... So at the time I was broke. And I'd actually gone on dates for the food.... This wasn't one of them, obviously, but I actually didn't touch my entree. I ate a lot of soup and bread, so I was full. He knew I was broke, and when I didn't touch my food, actually thought I was starving... Poor guy. I just can't eat much.). We came back in the living room, and he said "I have to go to the bathroom." and kissed me. Seemed completely weird to me, but his reasoning makes sense. He said that he wanted to allow the kiss to end naturally and not make me feel weird or forced if I didn't want to keep kissing him. And he also wanted to give me a chance to think about it while he was gone if I did like it. And it worked. And I'll never forget it, either.

We did make out on the couch a lot that night. And he spent the night, fully clothed, with me in my bed. It's the only night that I've known him to never move or wake up in the night. It's like all the work was over, and he could finally relax. He found me.

Our first kiss was a little awkward :P. Well, I hadn't had much kissing experience before him and he was out of practice xD. We didn't kiss until the second day. We had our first ever real life date (lunch at Olive Garden. Breadsticks, man.) and sat outside the restaurant for a while. I was so nervous and there was this creepy guy just standing around on his break watching us lol. Eventually, he just held my face in his hands and told me to breathe until I was ready. I finally said I was ready and we went for it. It took us a really long time to figure out how to kiss in a way that didn't look like he was eating my face xD (his mouth is a lot bigger than mine so it looked and felt kind of weird, but still really nice :3). It was the first time I ever kissed a boy too :P

[kteire]

Haha, well my memory of our first kiss is admittedly a bit hazy. We met at a new years party, and spent most of the night talking, except when I went outside with one of my male friends that I hadn't seen in a month. Apparently this made him a bit worried that I was losing interest in him, and so when I came back inside, he made sure to come back over to get my attention! And since all of my friends were coming back to my house after the party, he offered to call us a taxi. The two of us hopped in, and he turned and seemed to be about to kiss me, but then one friend came running up and hopped in the back seat with us. We sat and awkwardly made small talk for the rest of the cab ride. When we got to my house, we were home before everyone else, and we cuddled up on the couch together, and our friend sat on the other couch. As soon as he left the room, my SO turned and kissed me! Drunk friend then came crashing back in, and so we stopped kissing. Then drunk friend passed out, so we kissed again, and drunk friend awoke and yelled "I KNEW IT!!" and fell back asleep.

Not the most romantic of stories, but it makes me giggle

It was the first time that we'd seen each other since we'd started our relationship, and I'm pretty certain it was about the third night he was here, and there was me, my SO and my 2 sisters sitting in my room playing truth or dare - bad idea, I know! And my sisters new that I hadn't had my first kiss yet, so when it landed on me and I chose truth they asked me if I'd had my first kiss yet, I said no, then they did the exact same thing to my SO, and his answer was the same as mine.
Later on when my sisters had gone, my SO and I were sat cuddling on my bed and just chatting about things. And then he brought up about me not having had my first kiss and then he said 'I think it's about time we change that, how about you?' It was so sweet the way he asked before! I was so nervous at the time, so I just said yes. And then we sat there for a few seconds more and he said 'Well, come on then!' And he kissed me. It was a bit of a mess, but I will never ever forget it

I'm still not sure. Our opinions diverge on it. Long story short, my flight to Helsinki had been cancelled so I arrived there much, much later than planned (around midnight) and due to a strike of the airport personnel I couldn't leave the baggage claim area for a couple of hours, waiting for my suitcase (if I had left without it I was told I wouldn't get it delivered for at least a week, and I was only staying for ten days). I was extremely tired and felt like I couldn't even get a proper grasp of reality. And then it hit me that he was waiting outside probably wondering where I was, and my phone didn't work in Finland and I had no way of contacting him. So I asked if it was possible to get out and then back in again, and I was told I could, and I went to look for him and there he was, right outside the gate. We hugged and it was a bit awkward, then I brought him back in to the baggage claim area with me. We sat there waiting and just hugged, held hands and talked. He says that at some point I lifted my face and we 'accidentally' locked lips, but I have absolutely no memory of that. He says it's not like we pulled out or anything, we totally kissed. My own memory is of the first proper kiss, in his car at the airport's parking lot. It was very awkward, too. But eh.

Aw, thank you! I enjoyed reading yours too! Much like your hat, to this day my boyfriend & I say we each owe each other an ice cream....

Then drunk friend passed out, so we kissed again, and drunk friend awoke and yelled "I KNEW IT!!" and fell back asleep.

Aha, I loved your story! It made me giggle too.

my boyfriend and i lived in the same city when we first got together but i remember the whole week leading up to our first date. I would talk to my friends at school and then think up the perfect kiss and how it would play out just like the movies. I even planned this whole meeting him for the first time and having the perfect kiss. I chose a place where i planned out where the kiss could take place and if it didnt happen then, i had a backup and then i had another backup just in case. i was such a freak. So it came to the day of our date i was so nervous, i had sweaty palms nothing was going right, i was a complete wreck and i was late. no joke here i was walking up to him trying to look like the hottest thing in the world and i fell over and grazed my shins and cheek and hands. My boyfriend rushed to me and looked after me and we went to a chemist and got some supplies and we sat on a bench while he fixed me up. he even kissed my cheek better and then he kissed me. YAY i was not expecting it at all but i loved it. my boyfriend always brings up the story of when we first met and i literally "fell for him" pretty sure it was me being stupid and the concrete path.

i think my second first kiss with my SO is my favourite though (we broke up because he was leaving for a different state silly me) it just was right and reminded me of how much i loved and cared for him and to this day every time we kiss i still get butterflies
