At last!
Well, it took six dates and one awkward conversation, but dear readers, we have achieved progress. I got an actual kiss. Not an on the cheek grandma sort of deal. No no, a real full on smooch. A few actually.
Now let me tell you exactly why waiting this long is problematic. Usually I don’t stress over the first kiss. It is what it is, and with any luck it will come along, be quite nice, and break the ice for future lip locks. Sure it is full of possibility and all that fun stuff, but it’s also sweet and fun. It lets you know that the person you’ve been out with is attracted to you and interested. It may even answer some questions you had about them. So, you know, it’s good. And it’s usually fun and just nothing to get all worked up over.
Except when it doesn’t come. Or when you have to wait six dates for it. At that point it becomes some crazy obstacle. The waiting builds it up into something it never needed to be. So that when that moment does arrive, and he’s finally moving in… well, a perfectly cool one date wonder might start behaving like a ridiculous school girl.
Yes, that’s right. I giggled, I blushed, I was awkward. I’m sure it was the opposite of charming. In fact, I’m not sure why he didn’t throw me into my car and run for the hills. Truly it was a spectacle of the no good variety. I even considered reporting back on how cool I was the whole time. But, dear readers, I just couldn’t lie to you. I made an ass of myself. Oh yes, yes I did.
Luckily, he did none of those things. Instead he put up with my shenanigans, kissed me a few more times, and asked me out again. Right. Next time I promise to play it cool lest I become a complete embarrassment to all of you.
And so ends the saga of the situation. Please stay tuned for further adventures with Lucky Charms, or LC as I will surely call him.

So is he magically delicious?
Took me 6 dates to get kissed and you think I have this answer?
You mentioned his was recently married (maybe I am imagining that) but maybe he just doesn’t know how to date. He is making progress though.
You are not. He is recently separated.
Why the name Lucky Charms?
He’s short, sweet, and possibly magically delicious.
Whew. I was afraid you were going to say he was a bad kisser, which would be somewhat tragic under the circumstances.
You cannot possibly imagine how terrified I was of just that after all this insane buildup.
Finally!
I know, right?
LC! Love it!
And WOOOOOT!! About damn time Lucky Charms man, about damn time. But, he did get Jane Wonder to blush and giggle, which is a pretty damn good feat in and of itself.
Yeah but this was shameful. I mean…. shameful. I’m still embarrassed this morning.
Let’s see it took six dates for a real kiss. So sex should happen in what, a year?
Believe it or not, I’m not ready for all the naked just now anyway so I can deal with that later if and when we get to that point.
Yay!!! And I don’t think there is a thing wrong with blushing and giggling! We all need a little of that!
I’m telling you, it was shameful. He even teased me about it, and rightfully so!
I fear I have fallen into the same situation. 2 dates and no kiss. GREAT convos…he makes me laugh! He’s all kinds of cute but no kiss. I don’t think I have the patience to wait 6 dates! Was it worth it?
Not totally sure yet. But I’d still advise you to hang in. What do you really have to lose?
Yippee!!!
I’m glad it didn’t go the other way. I was worried I’d come on and read a breakup story. Good for him.
Wanna take bets on how long it takes him to do anything more?
“I giggled, I blushed, I was awkward.”
I need to try this waiting 6 dates thing.
I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Many women may decide you weren’t interested and disappear.
