Speechless...

A personal story in the experience: I Learned Something From My First Love
M y first love and I used to get together for long, extended makeout sessions. I am amazed now that we could literally French kiss for four hours at a stretch. And not have it go any further than that. Kids today seem like they go down on each other after a peck on the cheek.

The thing is, we made out so much we barely spoke. There was no email. No cell phones. We'd write letters, but I don't think that is really the same as speaking in the moment.

After nine months she broke up with me. She didn't know me and I didn't know her. It got to where making out all the time wasn't enough for her anymore. And while I could have gone on the same way for years and years, she had matured.

It slowly dawned on me that I needed to open up more about myself to my partners and be more interested in what they had to say. I had to realize that I was sharing myself with an actual person with real feelings — not just a pair of lips and a (rather talented) tongue.

Just wondering: Do you think anyone would get on here and admit they were a sucky kisser?

I just had to comment..i had the exact same thing with my first girlfriend..looking at it logically doesnt make any sense...We had the most poor communication, yet the kissing was the best ever....this contrast was really confusing..especially after we broke up, barely knowing each other..

I went the opposite route more or less and now my feelings are just hurt and I feel damaged. Wish I had more memories like yours

that is a nice story. It sounds like you still have fond memories of her and learned something along the way.
