Kiss Me?!?

For girls: “Have you ever thought of or tried to ask someone to kiss you?”

Were there times when you get caught in a trance, you don’t know what’s gotten into you, and you’d just wish that the stupid person in front of you break all rules and kiss you.. right there and then?

Some have said that stolen kisses are sweetest. Hmm.. I wonder, if it were a girl who stole the kiss, come morning, or even a few moments after the unsolicited move, when she realizes what she’s done and gets embarrassed about it, would it still be sweet? Would the moment still be magical as others describe it?

My girls and I have been talking about how lucky guys are.. they get to choose who they want to pursue.. and I think the matter of kissing depends on them too.. they get to initiate such things after all. Girls can’t do that. While it’s basically accepted nowadays that gen x & y ladies are more assertive and empowered than previous generations, so you’d think they can sashay around and ask the lucky guy for a kiss, in reality, especially in conservative countries where such brazenness is frowned upon, the idea of asking a guy for a kiss is despicable…or is it really?

I ask coz I know a handful of ladies who’ve thought of doing so, and another handful who actually did..ehem..including myself. I’m one of the former though, just for the record.. All sort of what ifs come to mind when you think of asking a guy to kiss you.; what if he says no? what if he thinks you’re easy? What if he laughs at you? And another thousand more questions……. Mind-boggling isn’t it? Oh, but there’s more! Given that you’re really the “go for the gold!” type of girl and you go out there and get that kiss…do you think the guy would freak out? Haha! I would love to see that.

But the real question is..how do you really ask someone for a kiss?
