Was it awkward? Were you shy? Was it a wonderful experience or just one of those things? The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because the kiss already has within it that surrender.
Now, come with me on a ride here. Lets take a trip down memory lane.
We got some bold and courageous people to speak.
Enjoy it
Actually, I can still remember it! I was very, very shy and did not really know what I was supposed to do but somehow it all worked out!
Kissing was such a major step back then, which is why I still recall it, I guess!!
Chiedu
For me, kissing often tastes like a soured tomatoes
It was an awful experience. I cant remember kissing again after the first time. Its not really my game. Besides, I felt like chocking that first time. Its not something I want to remember
Ifeoma
Sure I do and………..the earth definitely moved!
It was electrifying
Frankie
Unfortunately, I do remember! I was really young. I was about 12 or so, I think. Others were egging a boy to kiss me and when we did, I was shocked, to say the least!
Oh, my God, Thank goodness, I do not remember who that was. But fortunately, things improved for us and I was not put off. I am glad we made it. 14 years and we are still counting….
Nora
No, I cant really remember. In our days, kissing was more of a taboo. I guess it was meant for the White people
Horatious
Yes, I do remember it. It was the night of my brother’s wedding at Ilupeju. She was my first real girlfriend,. I was a student at FGGC, Odogbolu while she was at FGGC, Shagamu.
I took a risk as a young boy and it worked out. She was so shy. She was the prettiest thing I have ever set my eyes on.
Thankfully, we ve been married for 21 years now
Kenechi
No, I cant even remember anymore. Not the face or the name.
The fact was that I didn’t know he would do that. We were mere acquaintances but he took advantage of me.
I literally spat him out of my system
Thankfully, I have effectively suppressed that memory.
Vivian
Yes, I do! Even though things didn’t work out with the guy but it was magical, perfect and amazing.
Ihuoma
For me, kissing often tastes like a soured tomatoes
It was an awful experience. I cant remember kissing again after the first time. Its not really my game. Besides, I felt like chocking that first time. Its not something I want to remember
Ifeoma
Sure I still do till today, with all sense of pride and excitement! I was in lower secondary school and his name was Peter. He was my first boyfriend who gave me my first friendship ring!
Wow, how things have changed! I love every bit of it that night. It was at a friend’s birthday party
Yewande
I remember my first “peck” in primary school and even remember his name, even though it was almost 30 years ago.
I also remember my first real kiss and his name as well.
Nothing compares to the real thing. I almost passed out. The guy took me out on a date and while we were watching a movie at Pen Cinema, Agege
Itunu
Yes – I remember being terrified because I didn’t know what to do!
Abel
Yes. It was surprising and a bit awkward.
I do very well. I was about 14 and was in the playground at school. Meanwhile I was supposed to be a good catholic girl. Lol
Ify
Yes, I was 14 and his name was Vince and our friends dropped me outside my place. Nothing came of it, but he was nice. I can’t remember the kiss because I was in too much of a hurry to go to the bathroom. Little did I know that my mum was watching out through the window!
I almost passed out upon seeing her
Fifi
Yup, she was one of my earliest friends, so it’s no surprise that we hooked up once we were old enough. It’s also no surprise that we decided we were better off as friends not long after we got together. Like most early friendships, we drifted apart, but I haven’t forgotten my first kiss.
Dale
Yes, and I remember thinking to myself: I didn’t realize how soft the lips are.
I also remember! Some 46 years have passed. And occasionally our paths cross, we share a group of friends that go back 55 years. I’m sure he never knew he was my first. I’m pleased to say that with him, practice kissing just got better.
Edirin
Yes. I was 12 years old. My family was visiting some friends at Ikorodu. All of us children were playing downstairs. We were playing Hide and Seek. He laid on top of me and kissed me. He was 14. I thought he was handsome and fun.
He kissed me on a couple of times again but I ran away when he tried to get me to take off my clothes at one instance. After that, I was careful not to be alone together.
