I feel so inept with romantic love and passion, such a novice. When I come across people articulating their experiences so clearly with so much tact I feel jealous in some way. Then I remember we’ve both never experienced being a human before and are dancing with each other for the first time. It’s comforting. Thank you for this.

This is really kind, thank you too. Articulation is nothing without ideas (and everyone has those :D)

It is so unusual to read about a man working through his own desire in such an evocative but not overweening way. Honest about seeking a way and place for that desire. Whatever your intent with this essay, this will be more seductive than any kiss you describe as it articulates unspoken process in a gentle thoughtful way. Don’t kiss the next date — hand them this. It delivers all the right nuance.

I think you should see her again. Whatever she might make you wonder about will be a joy to read!

Reading a vulnerable piece about love from a man is really refreshing. Cried when you described your favorite kiss. Very sweet words thank you for sharing
