"Eight out of ten women believe that the first kiss will tell them everything they need to know about a relationship." -- Hitch, 2005Kissing is important. To say the least. It's how we can express our emotions to each other. Whether they be tender, lustful, sad, desperate, mysterious, angry. Whether it's our first kiss, or not. A kiss on the cheek, forehead, nose, lips, neck or any other body part...
I have mentioned before that LeBlanc and I were friends. We had a common group of friends of the people we traveled with while on exchange in Singapore. He always seemed like a nice guy, but he seemed so carefree and goofy all the time, that I never really saw any other side of him.
One of the things that struck me about LeBlanc was the way he kissed me.
I'm thinking back to our first date, when what I thought I knew about him changed.
It was the way he kissed me, and the way he took his time to build up to the kiss. In a slow-flirtatious-shy kind of manner. Tracing his fingers along the length of my arm, and massaging my neck and shoulders. Tickling me. Holding me close, and then waiting for me to go the last bit.
From this kiss, I felt like I was seeing a completely new LeBlanc. Not the LeBlanc who leads our travel group on our crazy adventures, or the LeBlanc who does the silly things (like wear his underwear...). No, this was a LeBlanc who was gentle and sexy, and sensitive to me. His kisses were soft, gently, and teasingly. And it felt so good.
Even though I love all sorts of kisses. One of my favourites would have the be the forehead kiss. There's just something so sweet and simple about being kissed on the forehead. One time, it was before LeBlanc was leaving for Norway, and we went to his parents' for dinner. The taxi was going to pick him up at his parents, so we didn't really have a private farewell. We were standing in front of the taxi, his little brothers were watching. I gave LeBlanc a quick hug, and he held me for a moment and planted a kiss on my forehead.
How do you like to be kissed?? Would a guy have a chance if he didn't kiss well?? Would there be a point of a second date, if the kiss didn't go well???

Oh, kisses... I have to say that kisses are important in a relationship. I'd say just as much as the "look" you may give the other person. Both say a lot of the way the other person thinks about you.
And about the second date thing... Hm... I'm not sure. I've gone out with some BASHFUL kissers, and I've gone out again with some because they're nice (in the hope I can eventually teach them how to kiss) and I've refused 2nd dates because they're a**holes (AND they don't know how to kiss? They're lost.)
Andy: Agreed. The kiss tells you a lot about the person, and could be an indicator of how the other person would be in the relationship. I don't think that I would want to teach a guy how to kiss, at this point though.
