I think that was because I wasn’t ready to cross that emotional line. The encounter was physical, exciting, and new, but I kept a clear boundary around anything that felt too intimate. Kissing, for me, represented a deeper connection that I wasn’t prepared to explore at the time.
I remember feeling conflicted about it afterward. On one hand, I was proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and exploring something new. On the other hand, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had held something back, as if I was only halfway allowing myself to experience the moment fully.
In hindsight, I think those boundaries were important for where I was at the time. It wasn’t about rejecting the other person—it was about figuring out what I was comfortable with and what intimacy meant to me. Over time, as I became more confident in my identity, those boundaries shifted, and I started to see kissing as an integral part of connection and vulnerability.
That first experience taught me a lot about myself and how I approach intimacy. It’s a journey, and everyone’s path is different. What matters most is respecting your own boundaries and allowing yourself the space to grow and evolve at your own pace.
