I was playing the tragic young queen who is exiled away from her husband, who's being thrown in jail. I was completely in love with the (older) guy playing the king, and he didn't know it. After we rehearsed the scene the first time (tragedy! angst! and two kisses actually specifically indicated by Shakespeare!), he said: "Well, the kiss was great, but everything else needs work."

Haha. <BR/>My first kiss was at age 16ish - it surprised me and was weird and I didn't like it. Thankfully they improved after that.<BR/>Right before the last first kiss I had, I prefaced it with something like "you know we can't do this again, our first kiss..." Laini, can you figure out a way to get around that fact? I guess a long distance relationship would give you many first-ish kisses... <BR/>Thanks for the fun post!

Everyone was shocked I had never had a boyfriend before and was chanting "kiss her kiss her!" and he kissed me (he being a German boy named Torsten). Then ten seconds later her frenched me. I was still in shock and didn't have time to back away yet. It was very...anticlimactic. I'm sure your first kisses in the book are what I had been hoping for, in some way.<BR/><BR/>And now I must go and watch North and South.

I was almost 17. He was almost 18. And we'd been secretly in love with each other for almost a year before we realized it was a mutual thing. He used to write me funny stories and serious poetry and give me "fire and ice" roses on my birthday. I just noticed "almost" in almost all of my sentences. I still feel dreamy romantic thinking about that kiss though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-83182963915463242432009-03-26T13:15:00.000-07:002009-03-26T13:15:00.000-07:00My first kiss in public with my former partner/fir...My first kiss in public with my former partner/first-ever main squeeze resulted in us being chased from the grounds of the Alice Austen House.<BR/><BR/>For those not up on their photography history: http://www.glbtq.com/arts/austen_a.html<BR/><BR/>Alice would have been <I>proud</I>.Rie Selavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903553595271170483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-61823074807819459642009-03-26T13:14:00.000-07:002009-03-26T13:14:00.000-07:00Haha.

We were in science class and one of my friends, who I knew had a crush on me, plotted with my girlfriends and suddenly grabbed me, turned me around and kissed me. And what did I do in return? I slapped him and screamed at him in front of all our classmates. He was truly embarrassed and didn't talk to me for months, though I think he should have been begging me to forgive him all that time!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00543721564379354360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-45533503207608744792009-03-26T12:10:00.000-07:002009-03-26T12:10:00.000-07:00What a great first kiss!
