Date Night

I’ve just had a date.
It ended with a snog which was nice
A bloody good snog by my front door, underneath the blackbird nests.
When we parted he cupped my cheek with his hand for a moment 
The first time anyone had done that in a long long time 
A gentle but serious gesture 
And it moved me greatly.

  10. That's a good first date! I'm happy for you. As they say, one door closes and another opens. Your vacation fell through but you had a good first date and hopefully with a second one planned.

  15. You failed to mention if this was an evening or morning snog, but such things should probably remain a secret between you and snogger. Happy for you.

  18. It's decades - yes, DECADES - since I experienced anything even approaching this. However, your description brings it all back. Ah, such memories!

  20. Aah, that is lovely. I had a " jokey" hug from a friend ( male)a few days ago and it made my day.!
    Hope that " things" progress in a way that you want.

  21. What a tender moment... and snog.

  22. Sounds lovely!

  23. The cupping of the face is almost more romantic and beautiful than the snog. How few people we allow ... or want ... to touch our faces. Just beautiful, and you wouldn't have had this if your original holiday plans had come to fruition.

  24. This is great to hear. I had to think (for just a second) what a snog was!
