Coffee date with a kiss on top

Hmmm....First dates are supposed to be for coffee.

Not kisses.

Kisses create an expectation of progression, a tension.
Something that wouldn't be there if the two of you only exchanged conversation.

Not kisses.

But ... I knew when you boldly took a sip of my gingerbeer without asking.
Then, waited to see if I would swig again.

I knew then we were fated to kiss.

Fated to ruin our first date.

Squandering our chance at something tangible.

To etch the perfect kisses in my mind.

First dates are for coffee. And obits.
