Some years back a Uni friend of mine visited me from Australia and we went out for dinner and some drinks and I took her back to her place. We were really close friends before, we flirted with each other but never dated. Anyway, after dinner we sat on the couch and she had her legs over mine and we were chatting. After that, as I was leaving, she leaned over and kissed me on the lips. For some reason, I mumbled something silly like good nite and just went off. I think I got a bit uncomfortable having someone so close to my face.. kind of coming into my private zone. It would have been OK if I kissed back, but I guess it didn't hit me then that it could have been ok to do that. Stupid dumbass.. the next couple of days, I met up with her friends and they asked me "So, did anything happen to the both of you that night?" Hmm.. looks like she may have had it planned and had told her friends too. Maybe I woulda gotten lucky if only I responded a little bit and I didn't! Thing is, I've always wondered what it would have been like with her... stupid stupid stupid.
I guess we all learn as we go along.. several months back while I was clubbing with some friends, I met this girl who started coming on to me. Stood very close to my face while talking to me and this time, I held my ground and I turned around and our lips brushed and we kissed. We ended up for the next 30 mins all over each other in full view of my friends. It was really good cause we had just met and I found out that she was going overseas for many years soon, so I guess she had just wanted some fun. Would have wanted to see her again before she left, but the guy who came with her that night (was a friend of my friends) was really pissed off with me.
I guess I made up for my stupidity many years back.

You live and learn.
