Thread: Bad first kiss

My first kiss was HORRIBLE. It was my neighbor from across the street. He came over first thing in the morning and clearly had not brushed his teeth that morning. He basically devoured my face. I couldn't wait for it to end.

The good news is that my next kiss was amazing and I ended up dating him for 6 years and would definitely say he's one of two people I've really loved. I've had good kisses, bad kisses, great kisses, and terrible kisses ever since. Don't worry too much about your first kiss.

I judge people by how well they kiss honestly, but that's because I'm not going for inexperienced people (no offense Tia, just preferences ). I've had people try to jam their tongue down my mouth too and it grosses me out, so trust me, it's not like that!

i've had a few people randomly kiss me on the dancefloor. I quickly learnt the look they have before they do it, and was able to dodge them in the end.

My first kiss was when i was 17. We had some family friends over, and one of the boys was 13. I had just finished high school and i was filling him and his older sister in on the details of my graduation. What i wore, how my hair was, etc. His sister left the room, and i was telling this story about how this guy i liked refused to dance with me and i spent 1/3 of the night crying in the toilets, and this kid says "i would have danced with you" and leans over and kisses me. Then his sister walks in and it was never spoken off again. I remember a few years later playing a game of truth or dare with them and his older brother asked me about my first kiss, and there was no way i was going to admit it was his little brother. I just said it was someone alot younger than me.

I haven't known anyone whose first kiss was a grand wonderful experience. Hollywood and Disney have done a wonderful job over-romanticizing love. The reality is that just like tying your shoes, cooking an egg and driving a car the first kiss and all that has to do with love is a learning experience.

Now with that said, you got the drive by kiss so to speak. My first kiss was with a guy that I had been seeing. Not long though. It was frankly, awful. Same thing as you kinda. Tongue jamming down your throat like he was digging for gold or something. It was messy and completely unappealing.

Even other first time kisses with men I've truly loved were nothing special. Messy, probe-y and generally unappealing. I think that is because of what I wrote in my first paragraph. People have to learn how to kiss. I even wrote one long ass post on here after being victimized by yet another bad kiss. (If you look it up I think it is called, oddly enough, "The Kiss".)

Now, onto the future. The good news is that with time and practice kissing does get better. Kisses have the ability to stir up your guts and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It helps to have a romantic connection - at least for me. I've never really had a kiss from someone that I wasn't romantically involved with that got me all warm and fuzzy. But that's just because of the way I am. I can't answer for others on that one.

Keep faith. Kissing does get better. And please, do yourself and anyone that dares to kiss you badly in the future a favor and tell them. You don't have to say 'that sucked'. Just say something like 'slowly, more gently' and give a breathy sigh or some such. It's all about how the message is delivered. (That's why they have those smiling idiot news casters on TV tell you terrible news with a pleasant look on their face. Sad, but true.)

It does get better. I promise.

Mine tasted of cherries and ashtrays, and was in a bus stop out the back of some bowling alley, with my wasted friends shouting what I assume was supposed to be encouragement. Romantic as fuck.

If you think your first kiss is a let down, just wait till the first time you have sex!

Ugh...we've all been there. I guess it's just a rule that the first kiss is going to suck. Mine was in a $2 theatre, with a guy that I had known for two days. I turned to him to say something about the movie and *BAM* he kissed me and rammed his tongue down my throat...it'll get better

hmm i think its kinda normal to french kiss or atleast kiss someone your dancing with especially if both of you are feeling hot or have had something to drink.. or used something... heeh my first kiss wasnt at a club tho it was back under a board walk during the summer..ah the jersey shore.. memories..

hhaha should have told the girl use a breath mint next time she does that.

Thanks guys! You did make me feel better. No offense taken, Ghetto.

So most peoples` first kiss is like someone rapes their mouth?

Yech!

Actually, my real first kiss with a girl that wasn`t related to me somehow was still in first grade. Had a little sweetheart named Kerry. Tried to kiss her on the cheek, and she turned into it. Still just a little peck. Imma still count it though. Felt as romantic as it can at age six.

Thinking about all my other first kisses though, all of them seemed pretty organic. Like they just grew out of a moment`s privacy

Now that I think on it some though, there seems to be a pattern. Like I said, some privacy is required. That way, if I get rejected, only the two of us need to know.

I don`t really force it. Like, at the end of a date, I give a hug, couple seconds longer than usual, and let it go a bit slow. Then it`s just like magic, the lady will tilt her head and lean towards me.

Might be my delicate New England sensibilities, but I don`t try to stab her tonsils with my tongue either. In fact, I don`t think I have ever tried that on any of my girlfriends. (What do you do if she hurls?) More like a little tongue tickle, sometimes I try to draw her tongue into my mouth a little, after that just go with it. Sometimes if it seems like gentle lingering, I put my hand on the side of her head.

Mostly, I try to treat a first kiss as a goal of it`s own, instead of a stepping stone to sex (which to be honest, it certainly is). There just needs to be a certain respect to it.

my first kiss was actually pretty rad...i'm not sure how it was for the guy though...sorry about that dude.

the one time i've kissed a girl, it was completely average. she kept trying to like...lick my tongue...i think she was trying to imitate going down on me...but it was lame. i'm def not into girls after that.

haha ok so not to be mean or anythin yall r like sayin how ur first kisses sucked! ok so maybe im just weird but i got a gf and i had my first kiss with her and i was amazing lol. so like i took her out to the movie dear john, then we went to her house to take a walk and so we talked and walked around awhile then we got back to her house and held eachother and just kissed (for all yall who havent had ur first kiss and are nevous, just go for it and you wont regret it), so maybe im just weird but it was amazing lol
