I had a first date last night. When I was dropping her off at her place and we were saying goodnight I said, “I’d like to walk you to the door and kiss you good night if you don’t mind.”

She was a little taken aback and asked, “a peck?”

I said, “It doesn’t have to be anything hot and heavy.”

She said ok, so we kissed (twice) and hugged (twice) and it was awesome. All very vanilla, but it felt so warm and comfortable (as we stood in the snow in our parkas).

I texted her when I got home to let her know I had arrived safely and told her that I’d like to kiss her some more. She said she would like that.

Thinking about it has kept me smiling and feeling swooshie all day.

We have another date on Sunday.
