Sealed with a kiss!
I keep getting comments from many of my readers such as “boy you are confused”, “take time for yourself” , “be alone”..And as I sat there waiting to respond.. I thought to myself..WAIT! Am I the only one that is confused? Aren’t we all? I can easily point the fingers at you and ask you do you always know what you want?
I mean isn’t life a process and confused is a BIG part of it? After instant messaging a “friend” and both agreeing that we were insane! , he told me that confusion is natural, if it did not exist in our daily lives we would not be living. So either I chose to live or don’t, Well, if you put it that way!
I may not know what I want but the one thing I do know is that I am living life. Sometimes you will be faced with that difficult decision of doing what is morally right vs doing what feels right. I am tired of following the status quo and I choose to follow my heart! I have done the “right” thing adhering to everyone elses standards and for those of you who may know did not end up on a good note.
Just because I choose to blog about it does not mean that I am a mutant to the adult world I guarantee that many of you have or currently are experiencing what I am going through right now (confusion ). Whether it is choosing your outfit for the day, if you are going to eat the salad or the burger, going to the gym or staying in, and relationships are a part of it!
Which leads me to my new set of blogs..Which will be a compilation of “rules” that I like to call the rules of dating or dating etiquette!
Rule number 1…
1. Does kissing him the first time, give him the right to kiss you a second time.
Let me give you an example.
Example, you meet a guy and after several times of talking/meeting you develop this friendship that may or may lead up to something more. You decide to explore this further and go out on a date. The fact that you two had this strong intellectual and somewhat of a physical attraction leads you to believe that you two just might hit it off. The date goes well, and you are kind of feeling him and he is feeling you. After the second or third drink, you decide to take the next step and see if the intellectual attraction has the potential for a chemical attraction, you down a couple of drinks and and viola you kiss!
Umm wait a minute WTF happened?! That was like kissing my brother! (not that I have). You make up some excuse to part ways telling him that you are too tired for a night cap and think …Woah, that was Awkward,
So now here is the dilemma I am faced with. How can you tell him that! That you thought you may be into him but realized that you are not into him? Without hurting his feelings! You have established this friendship, you think he is cute, you like chilling with him but the chemistry is not there. You have now crossed the point of no return, messing up the “friendship” with a kiss.
The next time you see him, he tries to kiss you again, you pull away, Ok wait a minute, just becasue I kissed you the first time does not give you the right to think you can do it again, you pull away. Now I am upset are there any rules to this? The rules of kissing? Am I being difficult, even if I was into him, chemistry wise, just because we kissed once does not automatically give you an unlimited free kiss coupon.
Is is just me? Are there rules when it comes down to this?
I mean it is not his fault, and I am sure, we have all done this at some point in our lives, but it just made me think..!

See, this is exactly why I love your material. Real, honest, tranparent and exactly what others think in the quiet of their minds but don’t have the courage to say out loud. Awesome. Yes, but I know several women who have kissed guys and didn’t feel anything and contiuned to befriend the person as if the kiss never happened. Don’t ask me how they do it, personally I’d be extremely uncomfortable, but they do it. Either by outrightly ignoring that the kiss ever happened or being frank with how you felt about it, two routes that I know people have taken. As far as your question is concerned, I mean it’s hard to interact with someone in a particular way [kissing them]and then go switching it up on folks without notice. Men usually expect progression–hoping kissing will escalate, not back pedal them to no hope of getting closer to “scoring”. LOL.
I had to end the friendship with this person which sucks! But it just upset me and made me wonder why men do that shit! Why cant you just take it for what it is!
I am and was up front and honest but it just urks me that men expect something out of you the second time around.
My recent post about kissing llamas was linked to this one by wordpress.com, so I thought I’d come over and say hello! You can check it out at:

I think once you kiss somebody one time, it is very hard to revoke that license, but in the case of somebody who you’ve found you don’t have chemistry with, your real issue is not the kissing: Your issue is with how to tell that person that the relationship they thought they were going to have with you is not going to happen.
Rather than make that point an insult to an injury by having that conversation immediately after rejecting them for a kiss, you should probably bring it up to them at some place or time where kissing isn’t really going to happen, like at church, or on the telephone.
Will, I agree with you but just because you were given the license does not mean that you are allowed to do what ever you want. There are some rules you must follow, such as STOP, YIELD,& ONEWAY..
Let me explain these signs of when to kiss or not to kiss.How about when you are having a platonic conversation with a friend. Out of the blue he leans in and plants one right on you~ You are left with a choice, slap him, or slap him . I was soo upset! Not once did I flirt or give him any signs that I was into him! The complete opposite! Because he is a friend and potential connection for a major story. I let it slide, However, given my body language and facial expression you can tell I was not happy.
As I made my way out..and into the car.. I said goodbye and smooch he tried again. OK Now you have invaded my privacy and respect.
OK what give him the right to try to kiss me again! without asking. Did he not read my face the first time around. My point of this whole blog is; men! Open your eyes and pick up on the signs. A woman will let you know if she wants to be kissed or kiss you! It’s not rocket science! Don’t ever try to surprise kiss anyone! If you got away with it the first time consider yourself lucky that you are still alive. And if she did initially intend on kissing you but is not kissing you again. Its time to MOVE ON!
Hmm. Yeah, that’s pretty gross, I must admit. I’m not sure that in this particular case, though, that the guy was actually unaware that you didn’t want to kiss him – it seems almost like he was thinking “She might not want this first kiss, but because I am so sexy and good at kissing if I just keep kissing her she will eventually be overcome with insane seduction, and then she will sleep with me in the middle of this platonic conversation.”
I don’t know if there’s much you can do with someone who would think such a bizarre and arrogant thing – you might just be best to move along, major story notwithstanding.
But most men are not like this, I don’t think.
