Since it's sort of been the worst week ever, I thought I'd follow up on the buzz from last Friday's First: First Kiss. I give you...WORST Kiss (please share yours!).
My worst kiss, EVER, was a few years ago from this guy I'd been casually dating because I was bored. I feel it is important to say "I was bored" because I would have never dated him if I wasn't. He was one of those guys that thought "High Fidelity"was literally the story of his life, so OBVIOUSLY he was super cool because he made Top Five lists for everything. And then he would quiz me on them.
For real.
Top Five favorite animals. Top Five favorite movies. And every last "five" were terrible choices. Top animal, Kodiak Bear? Seriously? And then I had to remember, specifically, KODIAK bear? Also, dude would NOT tell me what he did for a living or where he worked, because he "wanted to keep his work and personal life separate," and, "I don't even tell my dad where I work!" Right. Because that's what super cool non-pedophile people do.
Anyway.
We'd been out on a few dates, two of which had already been awkward and horrible, and on one of which he'd said, when the check came, "Wanna go halvsies?" So, finally--inexplicably!--it's our third date, I'm bored, a little tipsy, and I'd already had to name his Top Five favorite animals over beer (yet again), and be reminded YET AGAIN that his favorite movie of all time was "Scent of a Woman" and if I just watched it again, it would TOTALLY explain his personality (blind and suicidal? What?) We're out on this little back patio in the cold, when he grabs me with his giant man paws, half dips me, then SHOVES his entire tongue down my throat.
Girls say that a lot, that some guy "shoved his tongue down my throat" but I think there's generally a bit of exaggeration in that statement. How big are all these tongues, that they have the length and dexterity to actually block your wind hole? (Yes, that's the technical term, "wind hole".) I believe most girls mean that he actually just shoved his tongue in their mouth, and it was yucky.
But THIS guy, literally, shoved his tongue down my throat. Like, I could not breathe for a few seconds. It was like getting CPR, with a little extra "surprise". I mean, I know your mouthal area gets a little moist when kissing, but I had an entire ring of spit left on my face when he decided to
1940's Dude in Sailor Costume Tries to Resuscitate Nurse be done. I couldn't go back into the bar looking like some sort of rabid, drooling beast, so I had to wipe my face with the back of my hand.
So, so gross. After that, I discovered he liked to do the random, "we're walking down a crowded street! Wouldn't it be so romantic if I just up and kissed you?" Except I'm sure the passers-by thought he was trying to suck out my soul through my face.
We didn't last too long after that. Mostly because I came to my senses, and also because he gave me used presents for Christmas. FOR REAL.
Yours? I know you have one!!!
