Okay so I’m kind of late to the game (just never really had any interest in dating/ relationships or guys). I (26F) recently had my first kiss with a guy whilst on our bar date and it went smoothly…he kissed me a lot that night and the kisses were fairly long (I had to pull away and end them at some points but they were nice and he tasted sweet which I liked), soo I assume the kisses weren’t bad for him either.

The only thing that keeps me up when I think about the kisses were the fact that I held his waist? We were both sitting and I put my one hand on his waist whilst we kissed? Is that strange or emasculating for men?? I’ve checked to see if this is normal but hands usually go on the face/chest… never waist.

This sounds like such a childish question, but as an inexperienced adult, Im just doing whatever in the moment and that felt comfortable…do you think that was a weird gesture from me?

—also bonus Q: when kissing we basically touched the tip of our tongues and that was it. I followed his lead and it seemed smooth and nice but I never thought that was what you do with your tongue- thought there would be more movement or something, but I followed his lead and that’s what he did. That was nice and wasn’t weird, just want to know, is this a thing? Like what people generally do with tongues?

Not sure if it was pheromones but fortunately he tasted sweet, hopefully I tasted the same for him.
