I Kissed a girl. And I liked it.

Met a lovely Italian girl the other day. She spoke very good English, despite Italian and Spanish being her best languages (how stupid do I feel??). When we had to part company I said goodbye and told her it was nice to meet her, but she stopped me and told me she wanted to give me a kiss. She leaned in and kissed me on both cheeks, very warmly, while I stood there like a friggin pole. It felt like a defining experience for me. It has been one of the most special things I have experienced since living in Europe.
