I've Been Dreaming . . .

 . . . of a true love's kiss! And the prince I'm hoping comes with this!  :) Name that movie

Okay, so that's a interesting title, right? So while I've been at college, something has been brought to my mind. Kissing. Weird, I know, but I was talking with a friend last night and we were talking about relationships and dating. I realized that I don't do relationships very lightly. I didn't kiss anyone until I was almost 18 (the same time I had my first boyfriend - who was my first kiss), and still, I was dating him for a couple months before it even happened, and quite frankly I regret that kiss. I should have waited longer (or just had a brain and never kissed him in the first place - sorry...). Then when I got another boyfriend rather quickly, it took a seemingly  LONG time for that kiss to happen (this one I was SO excited for because I really really liked him and I wanted to kiss him). And with that relationship it lasted nearly a year, but that's a completely different matter.

Any who, wilst talking to her she said that she would kiss someone she knew pretty easily. That surprised me because I am so not casual about kissing and I think that it should be reserved for committed relationships. I'm not sure why I have this idea, but I stand by it. Then today I was talking to another friend and she mentioned that she had kissed this guy, which surprised me a little (but not in a bad way, don't worry - you know who you are ;) ). I then said that I haven't kissed anyone since I started college, which kind of makes me sad because even though I hate being single - probably because I wasn't single for such a long time - I'm not going to get into a relationship quickly just so I don't have to be single anymore.

So I want to know, do YOU  think that kissing should be reserved for a serious relationship or if its okay if you kiss people that you know really well but aren't necessarily in a relationship with, and have no intentions to? Please let me know, and I am really curious about all you married people's opinions out there! :)

  1. Hi Jasmine! I remember one time when I was teaching you cute girls a lesson on dating and Bishop Cannon was sitting in on the lesson, one of the girls asked the same type of questions. His response was sweet and pointed - He basically said that we can pass out our kisses as long as they are the chocolate ones!
    I think that you have to decide what a kiss means to you, and it sounds like you have already defined that. Stick with what you feel is right for you on this one Jasmine! In my opinion, because kisses are more special, that they should be saved for those who are more special to you! I could have a long conversation with you about my own life experiences that have helped me come to my own conclusions about this, you are welcome to call any time! :)

  2. Kissing should mean a relationship. I also think its fine if you have been friends with someone for a while, and you both have feelings for each other and the kiss officially starts the relationship. I don't think I could ever NCMO. Not because I would feel guilty or weird about it, but because I wouldn't be able to keep it platonic. I would like the person and want it to be a relationship.
