I realize this is an old thread, but I want to say that I'm very glad to see that LadyInWaiting is so proud about her stand. I think she is a very good role model for young women.
I'm reviving this thread because I was recently asked about my first Kiss on another set of forums. I thought I'd share it in this thread as well.
Foreword: Cheesey story approaching. I'm a guy and I remember the moments of all past relationship as well as most women. I'm odd like that I guess. If it was Important to her, it was important to me. This in no way proves that I have emotions because a Guy would never admit to such. Men I apologize for picking on the steriotypical guy through out my story.
My first kiss was at the end of my freshman year of high school. I had dated before and gone though an entire 4 month relationship without even olding her hand. I thought I was able to control the PDA's. Wrong.
Guy moment: What's wrong with PDA's?
That June my girl friend and I we're waiting outside a bagel shop, for her Mom. We had just finished watching Mulan Rouge, which believe it or Not, I invited her mom to stay and watch with us. I told you I'm Odd, Parents trust is really Big for me.
Reality Check: Who invites the parent on a date? I'm Odd like that.
Guy Moment: Who invites the mom, the one who will more likly censor the date, on a date? I'm Odd like that
While she was in the shop my girl friend and I we're talking about the Movie. Then out of the blue she kissed me. I somewhat afraid of her Mom, and not a huge fan of PDA's, said it wasn't proper to kiss in public.
Guy Moment: I know, what a loser, she kissses me and I reject? I'm Odd like that.
She wanted nothing to do with that, so she kissed me again. I was just about 16 at the time, so that time I followed her lead. We broke up two month later. Her parents didn't like that I taught Bible Studies at 16. Cheesey story over.
Guy Moment: I know the following is not mocho, but to be frank, I don't care. I'm Odd like that.
Now I look back at High School and wish I never had kissed her, or even dated her. I honestly didn't give that relationship fully over to God. Now I don't date until God gives me I sign I oathed to him. I've completely surrendered my right to date and choose my wife to the Father. I just wish I could still give my first kiss to my future wife. I feel like that's what God wants all of us to do. Would I mind having a girl friend, not really. Life gets lonely sometimes. Would I mind hindering God from blessing me as richly as he wants to, you bet. That's why I stand where I stand.
