I used to kick myself after a first (even coffee) date if I didn’t at least “get a kiss.” I’d put all the blame on myself, my looks, my inexperience, lack of skills or whatever. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. And also when I realized that there were two people involved in that date. Apparently, the women I tend to like are quite shy and want to go slower. Some even mentioned later that anything happening on the first or even second date was out of the question. 🧵2/4
