First I'd like to say thanks for the great community and great info. This place is helping me change my life around.

I went on a date and things went very well. We were walking through the mall and they had one of those hurricane simulators. I said I have always wanted to try it and so we both stepped in. As the wind increased to 80 mph I though "what a great first kiss this could be," so I went for it. For a second it looked like she turned her head away but I think she just wanted to make sure I was really going for it. I still went in and it was well received. Seriously it was the most bad ass thing I've ever done, and though its a baby step, I'm proud of myself.

As I have learned from this community: If things are going well, kissing before the end of the date is a great way to smooth out the evening. Before the kiss, I was trying out some kino. I'm no professional but doing some simple touching (grabbing her hand to cross the street), seemed to help a lot.

I was finally able to put all the great stuff you guys have given me to use. Thanks.
