Jae. _. I kissed a girl two days ago, I was hoping to find signs to see if what I felt was me being attracted to her. If you wanted to know, my heart was pounding after, I just wanted to hug her, my cheeks felt hot, I felt off balanced, and I felt like I was weightless. I want to feel this again, but Im scared if this is a phase or this being die to it literally being my first kiss.

Professor I only kisses my fiancee once because where I live kissing is a huge taboo. Even that I need to do it where no one can see us. So sad. And it last less than a second. for those who never kiss, yeah it doesn't have any taste, only the feeling of your lips touching your love lips. And it's sticky.
