The Story Of The Awkward Kisser

Whenever I would see posts centric to dating/relationships, I would always mock those people and laugh. Now I'm in the same situation, only more awkward.
And I'm not 13.
Anyways.

Today I went on a date.
After dinner, we went to my house to watch a movie.
I lured her into my room, closed the door, and dimmed the lights.
We watched Metropolis, which is a utopian/dystopian movie about artificial intelligence and other good stuff.
The girl seemed kinda bored so I held her hand. She didn't pull away, which was good.
Then she leaned into me and I figured it was a good time to ask the question.
Me: "So how do you feel about dating?"
Her: "Um good. I go on lots of dates."
Me: "No, I meant like us. How would you feel about being my girlfriend?"
Then she said yes and all was good life was good.
And then I asked if I could kiss her and she said, "Go ahead."

Well, we were both sitting on the bed so our faces were leaning against the wall and for the first kiss, I missed her lips.
I got her upper lip instead along with some saliva, and then she moved in for another one and we continued for a third.
The kisses were short and sweet but unbearably awkward.
Am I a bad kisser?

Uh but yeah, just wanted to share this so for those who are feeling bad about themselves, you can feel a bit better reading this painful tale.
I was going to post this on tumblr but she follows my tumblr so yeah... can't post it there. Figured basilmarket would be the best alternative.

I was lucky and had a reasonably experienced girl for my first kiss, who helped me get used to it. Tip: Keep your hand on her face so you control where her lips are and she doesn't surprise you by moving.

There once was an awkward kisser. He was so awkward, everyone died. The end.

I doubt she cares about that if she's letting it happen, I doubt anyone cares, I could be wrong.

Bad way to except positive feedback.

I will give you this:
Good job on manning up and asking her face to face. 98% of basil cant do that.

Work on kissing, thats pretty embarrassing, but you scored, and won the game tonight. Thats all that matters[/quote]

unfortunately he is right

[quote=Deciduous]practice makes perfect, just try not to close your eyes until you are all aimed and whatnot
kiss through them, not at them

also wat@choosing Metropolis...it only comes in anime or silent movie flavors.[/quote]
Great, thanks for the advice.
And yeah we watched the anime one that was in Japanese with English subtitles. We're both nerds so she really loves that stuff.

I feel quite better after reading your post.
I'm thinking about practicing with a pillow. I always laughed at that technique but I think it might help.
Thanks man =D

@Above: Yeah that's what my friend did and it freaked her out. But they're going out now so I guess it didn't matter lol
