A little dissention makes things fun, though I kind of wish you would let some of this bs wash over your back (like the proverbial duck). Most people here, myself included, like having you around.
All true, but what bothers me about the term is the possible implication that you aren't allowed to have been affected, even hurt, by previous relationships or past experiences. I think almost everyone carries those kinds of bruises around with them, and it's possible to see them at times, even if they've mostly healed.
Anyway, just thinking about all that has made kind of emotional, so if you'll excuse me, Z....'wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!'
"I come with baggage...overstuffed, busting at the seams, must pay extra to check it on the airplane kind of baggage. "
Anyone who is clever enough to write such a funny line has obviously made very good use of her baggage (just as long as you don't play "mind games" with it, Zeus forbid!)!
I agree with Unmatchable et al. Those statements don't carry any necessarily negative connotations. Sure, they could be lies, but then any statement could be.
I'm sure I'm not the only one's who's considered the possibility that expecting a first kiss to be "magical" places some unnecessary stress on both parties?
I'm getting so nervous about this that I've just purchased a bag of peaches to practice on. Only thing, they're so tasty that I find myself eating them down to their juicy core. Maybe they would be good practice for something else...?
Like it's their fault that you made them drool (with desire).
But yes, right as usual (or is it just me). "... so bad it would even have made dracula hang up his fangs in despair...." That's good! Can I use it in my next novel?
Yup. I'm not saying that a first kiss couldn't be wonderful -- only that it would be a pretty poor indicator of the future connection.
If the first kiss was really truly awful -- that is, if there was no passion behind it -- then I might tend to agree that it prophesies bad things. But considering that the first kiss generally occurs very early in a relationship, when the couple barely knows each other, it seems unlikely that the import would normally be terribly deep.
Not trying to be a killjoy here, but relationships need to have substance in order to have true passion, right?
Not at all. It takes time to connect physically and emotionally with another person. You could easily experience a great initial physical connection with someone that would fizzle swiftly into nothing, whereas an initial awkward connection could get better and better over time.
That's not to say that one could have a good first kiss with one's "soulmate," but there's absolutely nothing necessary about that.
"...devoted to worshipping you from afar...." Z, I was pretty good, and then I started thinking about it... "devoted to...from afar"...? I mean, do I have body odor or halitosis or something? True, I just returned from a grueling bike ride, but how could you know?
But seriously, thanks, the feeling's entirely mutual. As long as we don't get in a vicious argument over cuddling or going slow, I think we'll be okay

So it's first "sight"?

RE: what would you call a friend or is there such a thing
Someone who cares about you in much the same way he cares about himself (assuming he or she's not self-loathing, of course.Why, are you a skeptic on this point?
