22. “The look: come on girls, everyone knows what I’m talking about. The look a guy gives you when you know he’s about to kiss you. The look that is a perfect blend between sexy and adorable. The look that makes your heart flutter, and your lips tremble. You see his dreamy eyes gaze at your own, and notice them slowly lower and fix on your lips. You notice him quickly glance back up, in hopes of recovering from giving anything away. The look of vulnerability. As hard as he tries to keep his eyes off your lips, he can’t, which fully exposes how he is feeling and what he is planning to do. He slowly starts to glance up and down , eyes to lips, and doing so he can’t help but slowly and patiently fall closer and closer to you. He takes his time because he knows he only has one chance to make it right. Right before he reaches your lips he stops, as if there was any chance of turning back now. He stops, maybe waits to see if you make the final move, but once he realizes you won’t (because you’re a princess and obviously the guy ALWAYS kisses the girl first) he lowers in and plants the perfect kiss” – Jackie 19
All of these responses were shocking to receive but it just goes to show how different people see the world completely differently. So if you could describe the look someone gives you before you get kissed, what would it be?
