OMG, you have to tell her. Preferably after she's had a few drinks.

No, never tell her!

Well technically I was six but I don't count that. First real kiss was when I was 18. I think people get suckered in by pre-teen movies and such and think they are freaks (or worse think they aren't worth kissing) if it doesn't happen when they are 13. No worries, when it did happen I got plenty of catch-up time!

I was nineteen. It felt weird.

The first one that really counted, with someone I cared about, was on 18 August 1976, at about 11:00 in the evening PST. I was 19.

I still get her flowers on that date every year.

Whatever, I know plenty of people in their twenties who haven't kissed anyone. It's normal, just not extensively advertised as such.

Of course, when people tell me the same thing regarding the fact that I've never had sex, I agree but at the gut level feel like it's a load of crap, so fwiw...

I voted in the wrong section. So add another vote to the 18+ category. (And take one away from 16-17.)

Why is my age so hard to remember--now and in the past? I think I'm just going to pick one and stay that forever.

I was 16. Until reading this poll, I had thought that that made me, by definition, un-cool. Thanks, sweetie.

Just to clarify the last bit--my opinion is that it is perfectly legitimate not to have kissed anyone or to have had sex at your age, at my age, and even older; but at the same time I recognize that it doesn't always feel that way.

Just wanted to avoid any ambiguity.
