Houston's Missed Connections: Just a Kiss

20070314_missed_connections.jpg

Every so often we're too lazy to read every MC there's a Missed Connection that stands out from the crowd. This is one of those so oftens.

just a kiss... - w4m

I’m a girl. (or woman, what have you)
I’m in my mid 20s.
I am polite, respectful, well spoken, intelligent, from a great family, and very independent
But it occurred to me a few weeks ago that I can’t remember the last time I have been kissed. Not the ‘see you after work’ kiss, or the ‘welcome home’ kiss. I mean Kissed. The real kind. The kind you only really get in the first couple weeks of a new relationship. The kind you see in the movies. The kind that makes your stomach feel all bubbly.

So I guess if this sounds like something you wouldn’t mind helping a girl out with, if you think you are up to the challenge of a simple, tummy fluttering, stress relieving kiss that will once again convince me that there are not only decent, romantic men in this world, but also that everything will be ok, I would love to hear from you.

However you MUST be ok with a picture exchange. In fact, **I will NOT be answering messages that do not include one**. Because as I mentioned, mutual attraction would be key in the makeout process. I also take into account that I may be attracted to you and you may not be attracted to me. If you are hesitant at first, here are some basics. I have long brown hair, curly, but I iron it straight regularly. I am statuesque, but not anorexic, I have blue/green eyes and rarely wear makeup. I did model briefly in the past. Normally I wouldn’t mention this, but in this situation I feel it might get me a greater response to my request..

I know this sounds completely gay, but that’s because it probably is. I have always been a hopeless optimist in romance and life, and I feel like this may be a very real necessity for me to release some of the recent stressful situations I seem to have stumbled into.

So here is what I am proposing. A brief exchange. Pictures of course, as no one wants to kiss a horse (male or female). Once mutual attraction is established, we can shoot a few emails back and forth to confirm neither one of us is a dangerous sex offender (or some other unattractive candidate). Detailed information isn’t really necessary. I don’t really care if you have a girlfriend or a wife. Not to sound like a homewrecker, nor a completely awful person, but it’s not like I’m looking for a long term relationship here. Just a kiss. It should go without saying, but please no herpes or fun stuff of that nature. Just lookin for a brief fairy tale, not an incurable disease.

Again, if this sounds gay, just think of it this way. Its not like I will be meeting your drinking buddies to tell them of a torrid affair. In fact, we will most likely only meet just the one time. Words may not even be necessary. Actually, I kinda thought it would add to the dramatic effect if there were no words. Just an acknowledgement of identity then right to business. And just to clarify ahead of time, I want a KISS. NOT a makeout gropefest leading to a lay.

I look forward to hearing from some 'princes'…

Top Six Things That Popped Into Our Mind When While Reading This

6. If you're a girl in your mid-20's and are "polite, respectful, well spoken, intelligent, from a great family, and very independent" and can't remember your last kiss, then you probably need to brush your teef.

5. There is no such thing as delivering a "tummy fluttering" kiss and having the meltdown stop before you're in the sack.

4. When we think "statuesque" images of goddesses without arms and protruding nipples spring to mind, not victims of an eating disorder. Not the same ballpark. Not even the same sport.

3. "No one wants to kiss a horse?" Have you seen Clerks 2?

2. "We will most likely only meet just the one time. Words may not even be necessary." So you're saying you want to meet at an all-night bookstore? That's kinda hot.

1. "And just to clarify ahead of time, I want a KISS. NOT a makeout gropefest leading to a lay." Riiiiiiiight.
