Hearing Ever So Sweet -- The Early November
Boy, is this article ever true: Why bad kissers don't get to second base. You would think the answer would be "because bad kissers are icky." And you'd be right! But they add some extra scientific and sociological reasons to the mix:
"At the moment of the kiss, there's a very complicated exchange of information ... that may tap into underlying evolved mechanisms" cluing us in on whether we're genetically compatible, explains Gordon Gallup, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at the State University of New York at Albany. "A kiss can be a deal-breaker in terms of whether a relationship will flower or flounder, so to speak."
Rachel Myeroff, 26, can attest to that. On a second date with a guy, says the New York City-based sales manager, "he just went in for it and attached himself to me in the sloppiest, most horrible kiss ever. He was just consuming my mouth. I most definitely did not call him again."
Gaaaah, yes. I remember in college there was this girl I was a little interested in, so we started kissing... and it was so horrible right from the start that I thought I would die. And there was nothing to do about it but to wait for the makeout session to be over. We did not kiss again.
This will be the last time I share a story about bad kissing with you all, by the way. You can relax now.

The last 2 men I dated were nice, very nice. But they were both "tight lip kissers". Not appealing at all. So, it can go with either way. Sloppy or stiff lipped both are "yick". Niether one got to second base.

I threw up on my husband on our first date.
