It was our first date. We were laying on his living room floor, side by side, elbows barely touching, watching TV. It was so hot and he didn't have air conditioning. Sweat was dripping off him and he was so embarrassed by that. We were pretending to watch TV, pretending that exchanging chit chat was what we wanted to do but really, all we wanted to do was kiss.
He was so shy, unsure, as was I. There was just something there that had never been there for me before. Something about this guy - this guy that numerous people had been trying to set me up with for two years and I just wasn't interested. This guy that I looked at and my heart would flip. This guy who was so good looking, what a smile.
And then he kissed me.
And today, 23 years later.........................
We don't kiss because he chews tobacco.
I was thinking that Curt is the only guy I remember my first kiss with - except for my "first kiss".
I was all of 7 and we were playing hide and go seek. We decided that we would hide under the blanket on the front porch. (I was raised during a time when kids were innocent.) He was a year younger. He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek.

i loved reading about your 7 year old kiss.
my first real kiss with Dustin...was awesome..and almost resulted in my falling off of a cliff. :)
You people are way more vulnerable than I want to be. Let's just say, I was embarrassed beyond words with my first kiss. How many ways can you spell "idiot"?
First kiss: Dewey School; Northeast corner of the elementary building; recess; exchanged paper rings; someone ratted us out to Mrs. Lichtenburg who then called us out in front of the whole first grade class. We kept the rings but it ended the kisses...First kiss with Kev: curbside at 20th & College just outside Solano Hall...and tell Curt to give up the tabacco :)
