(156,595 posts)Because I was so old. I think I was 18, and it was the summer before my sophomore year in college...yup. College.
We were at the beach; I was lying down on the beach blanket, and he was sitting next to me. And all of a sudden, he leaned over and planted one on me.
I was shocked, horrified, and not a little disturbed. THIS was what I'd been waiting for?
I started enjoying them after about the 3rd one.
Are you going to tell us about yours, my dear ConcernedCanuk?

(53,061 posts)I was 17 and a Freshman in college and a bunch of us were at the beach and I was pondering when would I ever have a chance to kiss a girl when this unbelievable beauty lay down on a towel next to me. I was overwhelmed by her beauty and in a great romantic impulse I leaned over and planted one in a great romantic gesture.
She didn't receive it well, she seemed shocked, horrified and not a little disturbed.
It had a traumatic impact on me and I have been celibate ever since.

Romantic is taking flowers to a girl you are enamored with.

(56,848 posts)believe it or not. I was painfully shy in high school and even in college and a few years beyond college. Plus, I was always turned down because I was a "nice guy" (code word for boring)
I remember her name, where she was from and could give you a general physical description of her at the time - brown-eyed brunette, about 5'3", medium build, cute. We dated for about six weeks, which is a lifetime in college since we saw each other every day.
Aristus
(72,123 posts)My brother, who has been in a happy relationship now for about 19 years, once told me he was turned down by a girl who told him: "I couldn't think of you as anything but a friend. You're such a nice guy."
I told me he wishes he had replied: "What did you want me to do? Smack you around a little?"
He would never do that, of course; nor would I. But why is being a "nice guy" a negative attribute?
NewJeffCT
(56,848 posts)a "nice guy" is what you say to a guy that's boring, but don't want to tell him he's boring. Plus, I think if you're a woman in high school or college, the nice guy is one that you think always wants a serious relationship and sometimes the young woman isn't into that at that time. I'll admit that I'm not the most exciting of guys, and couple that with my shyness when I was young, and you have a seemingly pretty bland guy.
However, it is frustrating when you're the young guy who is always told that - especially when the guy who had a reputation as being a jerk towards women, plus being under-endowed and sometimes unable to perform, never had a problem getting dates with otherwise intelligent and attractive women in college.
But, once I hit 30, things seemed to change quite a bit. My ex-wife was bright, extremely outgoing and attractive and she liked me because I was such a nice guy who treated her well. Plus, as much as she talked, my being quiet and a good listener worked to my advantage... (She also had had some rough relationships before me, so I was like a 180 for her.) We were not married long, but as soon as we were divorced, I had more dates than I knew what to do with for some reason, including with some women that I had to pinch myself to believe I was really dating them, and ended up getting remarried to a very bright and very attractive woman a few years later, and am still married to her almost 12 years later.
GaYellowDawg
(5,101 posts)And I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't mean any harm, but damn, I was SO immature. I can't blame anyone for rejecting me; anyone who's smart will pick out a man, not a boy. Now that I've grown up a little, I've also grown out and grown old. Oh well.

(6,795 posts)I couldn't tell you how many good looking, stable, gainfully employed, nice guys that I wasn't interested in because they pursued me. BUT, give me a dude that I had to chase.....I'm all in.
I will never figure it out....
NewJeffCT
(56,848 posts)As I said in the post right above yours, when I was in my teens & 20s, I was that decent looking, stable, gainfully employed nice guy. However, almost all the women I pursued put me off as being a "nice guy" - and, I ended up married to a woman that practically tackled me and initiated sex on our first date.
However, that didn't last and I was 33 by the time we got divorced. However, suddenly it seemed like I had more dates with more women than I knew what to do with. Some of them I thought were way too good looking for me even (not that I'm ugly...) Not sure if it was because I was a bit older or because being divorced made me seem like not such a nice guy anymore - that one black mark on my "nice guy" record? Or, maybe a bit of both?
And, I ended up getting remarried a few years later to a woman that actually liked me for being a nice guy, though it seems like a cultural thing with her. Most of the Chinese women I know are married to seemingly nice guys who do a majority of the housework, be they Chinese husbands or non-Chinese, like me.
blueamy66
(6,795 posts)I am still pursuing the difficult one....the challenge.
I think that I could fall for a nice guy, if he made me chase him....but then I guess he wouldn't be nice, no?
NewJeffCT
(56,848 posts)or, maybe you don't like shy guys? Part of my problem was also that I was very shy in high school & college, so not only was I a "nice guy", but it really took a lot for me just to get up the nerve to ask a girl or, later, woman out when I was young.

(6,795 posts)But I don't think it's being shy. Maybe some guys just hide their feelings.

We were really just getting to know one another as I had moved there not long before, just after my mother's death. Somewhere in conversation I said I had never been kissed. He popped over the seat, planted one smack on my lips, and said "Well, now you have!"
He was my boyfriend for a year or so, and remained a friend for years. He was smart, funny as hell, and really, really gay, as it turned out. We joked often that after me, no other woman would do. He died of AIDS in the 1980s and I still feel the loss.

I only worked weekends, and that week I got sick and would not return until a month later. He quit in the time I was gone and I never saw him again.
ETA the first time I kissed someone I had feelings for was in college, so 18. We dated for about two months (he was my first love) until I discovered that he was seeing two other girls at the same time as me.

She was a Pink Floyd fan and loved to listen to Dark Side.

On holidays with my parents, met a 14 year old when I was 15 at a lake -
pushing each other off of a raft on a lake is how we "connected".
No kissing at that time, but she and her parents visited my parents shortly thereafter (around 1966) and we went to a movie.
not with our respective parents, just me and Mary-Jean.
can't tell ya what the movie was, cuz we crawled all over each other,
"necking" like crazy - - !!
same summer, 1966 - was back up to her parents place -
We went to one of her friends place having a party, - no booze at that time.
french kissed for almost half an hour listening to the Monkees without a break.
Was still a virgin then, and for the next 8 years.
So I had that "blue balls" thing going.
But it was worth it.
I remember her fondly.

I was 5 years old when I kissed a girl who wasnt a family member, but it was not a voluntary kiss. I was playing tag in the front yard with neighborhood kids my age and I was it. I couldnt run fast enough to catch anyone and got frustrated so I picked up a heavy metal lawn hose nozzle and threw it up in the air at the taunting kids. Unfortunately it hit a little girl my age right on the nose, causing it to bleed. She ran home crying. My dad came outside to see about the noise and then gave me the worst spanking of my life. I told him I didnt mean to target her but he said I should have known better. He yelled at me and told me that what I did could scar the little girl emotionally towards boys. My dad simply didnt tolerate any disrespect by me towards any member of the opposite sex, especially that of a physical nature. He found out where she lived and drove me to her house. He made me go up to her room and apologize to her face. After all these years (this was in the mid 1950s) I still remember the skinny blonde girl in her bedroom leaning against the wall with a handkerchief up to her nose, her eyes red from crying. My dad then ordered me to kiss her on the cheek. I was very embarrassed but excited at the same time because she was only wearing a pair of panties. I never did anything physically harmful like that again to a girl or woman.
The next time was a year later (I was 6) when my dad was transferred to the U.S. Air Force base at Bitburg, Germany. A girl who lived upstairs in our four story military housing complex had weimaraner dogs like mine. We became friends while walking our dogs in the German farmers fields and forests on the edge of the base. I almost stopped playing with boys and was kidded for having a girlfriend but I didnt care. We were inseparable and I know I found her pretty and I really, really liked her. When she moved away we shared a long hug and she gave me some wet kisses on the cheek. I was heartbroken for days. Her name was Caroline.
The next time was when I was 12. My summer friend Larry invited me over to his small house where he lived with his mom, dad, younger brother, and older sister named Sondra who was 14. When I first saw Sondra she had puffed out blonde hair like the style in the early 60s. She wore white socks and she had her feet propped up on the front porch railing, rocking back and forth on the back legs of a chair as she listened to a transistor radio. I must have startled her when I sat down on the porch steps because as she turned to see me she spilled a glass of red kool-aid on her white shirt. She looked at me with disgust and went inside. She then came back outside with a clean shirt and made some comments about going to the radio stations sponsored sock hop. I was desperate to learn how to dance to meet girls so I gathered the nerve to ask her if she would teach me how to dance. I offered her $10 for a few lessons. They were a poor family (the father was a night watchman and the mom didnt work) so she agreed to come over to my house because she probably needed the money. Upstairs in our old Victorian house in my bedroom with the stereo she came and taught every dance of the day that you might see on American Bandstand; the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Pony, the Twist, the Hully Gully. We met about five or six times that summer and each time she stayed a little longer, earning that $10 several times over and causing my mom downstairs to start asking questions, such as whether it was really about my friend's older sister teaching me how to dance. To my amazement, behind closed doors this unsmiling, hardedged teenage girl became the sweetest, most talkative, most smiling and laughing creature I could ever have imagined. She then finally taught me how to slow dance and she kidded me for having no idea how to hold a girl and then asked me if Id ever even kissed a girl. I could only stare back in embarrassment, when she stopped dancing and suddenly kissed me as the music of the Everly Brothers, one of her favorite records that shed brought, Let It Be Me kept playing in the background. It wasnt the most passionate kiss Ive ever had since, nor was it just a friendly good-night kiss at the end of the prom; in those twenty seconds or so her mouth was wet and her lips moved over mine. And it was my very first mouth-on-mouth kiss. After that summer, Larry and I stopped being friends in Junior High and I never saw her again.
But that fall in Junior High I sat behind a blonde long-haired girl (I dont know why all the blondes as I consciously have always preferred brunettes) named Priscilla in Mrs. Camerons English class. I have always been shy but in Priscillas case she was so cute I came out of my shell in a big way. Our English teacher made us trade papers for spelling tests and I intentionally made the worst possible hilarious spelling mistakes to get her attention. I called her Miss Priscilla telling her that she reminded me of an aristocratic English girl with a Governess who went around calling her Miss Priscilla Miss Priscilla in an English accent. I started accompanying her to lunch then walking her home and then I invited her downtown by bus to go see a movie on Saturday morning. She told me her parents would have killed her if theyd known because her mother said that boys were of the devil. She picked the movie and we sat in the balcony in the back. In the dark, I played with her hair and then kissed her, my first real kiss in my opinion. We ended up making out throughout West Side Story and I had to see it years later on TV to see what it was all about. Priscilla was the cutest, kindest, sweetest, most intelligent, coolest, and most drama-free girlfriend I ever had in my life and I still miss her. Unfortunately, my dad was a career Air Force officer and moving away and leaving people behind was a constant reality of life.

(14,198 posts)Yes, he did take me for a ride. He also taught me how to ride!
But that is as far as we went.
It was like a Danny and Sandy summer thing is the best way to describe it. He know my cousins, my protective male cousins, so there was a deterrent, big time!

(10,988 posts)I ran after Bernie, caught him and kissed him. His mom visited my mom to complain.

(12,317 posts)We were at the movies. We dated awhile, I broke his heart, and he married the next girl he dated after me.
He hates me (pretty much told me so on Facebook after I sent him an apology email several years back).

(21,484 posts)Junior in high school. Gregg Burgess, a senior. On our first and only date, we went to see Alien. I loathe horror movies and had no idea what I was getting into. Afterwards we necked in his car. The memory nauseates me.
The first time I kissed a girl, I was a freshman at Los Angeles Baptist College. That woman became my first lover, then became a complete psycho a la Fatal Attraction (but without the rabbit). The memory nauseates me.
Hmph.

(2,299 posts)We were at the stock car races, where our respective dads raced, and after a short conversation the night I met him, he grabbed me and kissed me, totally unexpectedly. I was really too shocked to respond. The next week at school, he carried my books for me, but it was a short week and we went to my grandparents the next weekend. By the time I got back in town, I was so sick with asthma that I was put in the hospital for the first time, and by the time I got out I was skinny as a rail and sickly looking. My first day back at school I saw him with another girl, and the next time I went to the races he was with yet another girl, and I had my first broken heart.

(4,475 posts)It was nothing whatsoever to write home about, kind of slobbery, didn't have much interest in the boy on the other end of the kiss. Afterwards I wondered what the big deal was.
But then....
A year later, sweet 16, I'd gone out on a few dates with a ridiculously cute boy, wavy blond hair, blue eyes, 6' tall, little round wire glasses, and he played guitar in a band. Ooh la la! I had a huge crush on him but was trying not to be obvious about it. He was the "son of a preacher man" and one weekend morning we went over to his father's chapel to play the piano together (we were both musicians). Sitting on the bench together, playing duets, snow falling outside a huge floor-to-ceiling plate glass window, and he leaned over and kissed me. Wow! *swoon* My heart (and other stuff) was all a-flutter, and I finally understood why people wanted to do this kissing thing.
We dated for nearly a year in high school, which at that time in one's life is practically like being married, and we went to Prom together. We were both in serious puppy love. We spent all our time getting into mischief and feverishly making out. It was awesome. Sadly, we broke up over something stupid, and then we got together again a few years later when we were in college and dated for another year. Although we were very compatible, it eventually became clear that we just really weren't meant to get married, so we broke up for good and remained good friends. 20 years later, I'm still friends with him on Facebook (and he's still damn cute).

The girl I mentioned, Mary-Jean, where we did serious lip-lock for extended times when I was 15, she 14,
Was the daughter of one of the two Church Ministers in a small town of less than 1500.
And yeah, I remember her last name, but I ain't telling!

(4,475 posts)The sons and daughters of "preacher men" do in fact tend to be a little wilder than the average, in the best kind of way.

(1,569 posts)her name was Melanie, a girl from the neighborhood. We went steady off and on for a few years then lost contact during high school (different schools). I saw her decades later (our early 30s) and she was down on her luck pumping gas (Oregon has no self service). I really wanted to talk to her more (I was single at that time), but she was pretty much aghast at being a bit dirty and in overalls and filling my tank. I never saw her there again.

(64,683 posts)like it was yesterday.
Hot summer night. Got off work at the grocery store at 9PM. Fellow worker (Johnny) had a car and said "let's go to the dance place..."
I was 14, he was 16. Had to be 16 to get in but they never checked an ID.
About an hour after we got there, johnny had a girl on his arm. She had a friend. He asked if I was interested. I was so dumb, but sure I was interested.
So they got in the front seat, I got in the back with her friend. Holy smokes she was all over me. The break lasted about half an hour and we went at it until the crowd went back in. The girls melted into the crowd. Johnny had to go home which meant so did I. Never bothered to ask her name. Neither did Johnny. So it was an off chance one time thing.

(6,028 posts)On the corner of 61st and Lockton Lane, Fairway, Kansas. About 8PM. I was 14 she was 15. It was also a bit of tragedy because my family was moving out of state in August so this summer love could only last 2 months. It did. I was brokenhearted. This is a stop on the official tour of my youth. Let me be one to affirm, you never forget your first love.

(3,502 posts)First I remember, anyway. I was in 7th grade and it was a party at my house. I ended up spending a lot of the evening with this one boy. It didn't become a boyfriend/girlfriend thing. I think he was a bit of a player even at 13, but really a nice guy and lots of fun. I honestly don't remember if we ever dated after that or not. Too long ago. I do remember that we were friendly right through high school. And right after graduation he was hit by a car and killed, which was horrible.
