My first girlfriend

My first girlfriend was really sexy, but she wouldn't give it to me in the dark. I'd have to get it somehow; and I'd have to give something in return. An unspoken barter system existed - a good early lesson about women and relationships.

We sat on the couch for hours. She, waiting for me to do something. Me, waiting for her first to say yes. But you see, I would have to do something first in order for her to respond. But I couldn't make my move until she said yes.

The last thing I wanted to do was to say "Um, excuse me, but is it ok to kiss you now? " That is so uncool. So neither one of us knew what was going to happen. A few years later I heard that some older guy came along, dated her once and 'got' her. That's how it always was. Some older guy always got what I wanted. Bastards, all of them..
