+570 Waiting until marriage for many things is perfectly fine, but waiting for your first kiss until you're married is a just a little overboard, amirite?

My girlfriend thought that making out was for married people... one of my friends (a girl) who heard it started yelling at her.

well, i think it makes sense since the priest guy says 'you may NOW kiss the bride'.

I just think that kissing is something you do with people you aren't going to marry, such as family and friends (often on the cheek), so I think it's ridiculous to wait even longer with someone you like/love for kissing if it's something friends in other countries do when they see each other.

well sometimes people don't get married to be all lovey dovey but because that person is their best friend.

I know a person who believes their first kiss should be their wedding kissing. Even as someone who IS waiting for marriage to have sex, I think this notion is ludicrous. Yes, overtly passionate kissing, touching, etc. should be kept at bay if you're wanting to have a reasonable chance of succeeding at waiting for sex, but not even pecks on the lips? No thank you. :) I don't know how people can live in a relationship without some sort of affection! My fiance is constantly kissing my forehead, nose, lips, etc.

My friend got her first boyfriend last year. They didn't go out very long but when they did she told me they came close to kissing. She wanted to but couldn't get herself to do it because she says she wanted to save the first kiss for marriage. I think that's crazy.

I think it would be super romantic to be able to tell the person you marry that they're your first kiss. I think there's nothing wrong with wanting to save it until you're sure.

I think, you only think it's overboard, because that's the expectations of society. There is nothing wrong with being a pure virgin for your husband and vice versa.

I vehemently agree with that last comment. I understand that waiting for marriage to kiss is not the social norm, but I don't think that makes it any less legitimate if that's the want of the person. Everyone has their opinions; just let them be.

It's just more special that way, that the person you marry is your first everything.

For you people who are saying it is not the social norm, and it's totally okay: I just think it's excessive. You kiss family members on the cheek, etc. so why should you wait until MARRIAGE to even give a peck to someone you love? I understand not throwing it away at an early age (though, I do not regret having my first kiss at 12, the guy and I are really fantastic friends), but showing no affection until you're married seems kinda silly. Wait until you find someone you love, sure, but not kissing because you believe that it should only be saved for marriage is going to make it very hard to actually get around to marrying that person.

I do agree with this comment- But, if you and your significant other plan to spend the rest of your life with one another, wouldn't you want to know if the two of you are compatible? Say I dated a guy for four years before we got married,I know if after our vows I found out he was a terrible kisser I'd be pretty disappointed.

I just don't even see the point in it.

I feel like it wouldn't be "special", it would just be weird, I mean, in the course of 24 hours or so you're jumping straight from hugging to sex.
