We have all had that horrible first kiss experience, I know I have. We have been told for many years that a first kiss can tell you everything you need to know about a relationship. But does that myth stand to be true?
There are two sides to every argument. For those who believe that the first kiss can tell all, I am on their side. If you don't feel physically compatible with someone with something as simple as a kiss, how are you going to make the rest of the relationship work?
Yes, emotional compatibility is as equally important, but you can't have one without the other.
Imagine going on what you consider to be the perfect first date, and he or she walks you up to your place and the kiss is dry, gross and just unpleasant in general.
You immediately discredit that person from creating any sort of romantic relationship. But if the first kiss is perfect, and you can feel the sparks flying, that's how you know that this is going to be something special.
There are also those who believe that a first kiss is not as powerful as it has been said to be. If the date is perfect, and you emotionally connect with that person on such a strong level, you just know it's going to work.
But if that kiss is awful yet those emotions are there, you always have the ability to fix it.
A kiss is a physical aspect of a person that can be repaired or enhanced, kind of like going to the gym to enhance your cardio. So if the kiss is really all that bad, and the emotions are there, maybe consider taking the time to fix that small detail.
If we put so much pressure on the first kiss, we are setting ourselves up for failure. Although I am very traditional in the romantic sense, and most definitely believe in the magic first kiss, maybe we should consider putting those wild expectations aside. Because one day, that perfect someone will come along and we may toss them to the side because the kiss wasn't just right.
So take a step back, and enjoy people for who they are, not for the things they do.
