I kissed a woman for the first time in 16 years last night

[Tobin S.]

Not that particular woman, but any woman. The reason for that would take a very long and personal post, but I'll save my index fingers and spare you guys the therapy session.

I told you guys about her and our first date the other night. I got to meet with her last night and we talked for a long time. She said the last guy she dated went out with her for 3 months and never even kissed her. She was telling me that she didn't want another one of those guys. So I told her to pucker up at the end of our date. :* :D

I'm going to hang out with her again later today, and she is going to make me a home cooked meal.

She really is a sweetheart. She has a cat named Toby, which is what some people call me, that was a stray that she adopted. She also adopted a one-eyed cat that she named Vito. And she has a three legged dog named Swifty. :) He gets around surprisingly well. She found both Vito and Swifty at a no-kill shelter. Vito had been there for 7 years. The reason I'm saying this is that I think it gives you a little insight into what kind of person she is.

And now it appears that she has a slightly cracked boyfriend named Tobin. Another wounded stray in need of a good home. I told her about my illness and the head meds and all that. I don't have any problems with it now days. I did have some demons that I struggled with for a long time, but I've put them to rest, and I think the appearance of this woman is evidence of that.

She sounds like a great person!

4. 'Fess up... were you worried that you had forgotten HOW to kiss?

There have been times when I've gone without ANY kind of physical relationship
with a woman and I never really worried about losing any other abilities, but
I was often nervous about whether or not I could still kiss well.

Always turned out all right, but didn't stop it from happening the next time.

5. Thank you. No, I wasn't worried about my ability to kiss good

But getting up the courage to ask for one was pretty tough.

I'm really happy to hear this...Kisses and all they stand for are such good things!
