Question

So we're old, right?

We get that.

We're also a li'l shy sometimes, and always with the thinking. Always.

So when one finishes a four-hour date of pretty awesome conversation and lots o' hearty laughter (her, not us -- we were killing), and one walks said date to her car, when just happens to be parked next to us (FATE! Interceding!), and one doesn't kiss date good night, this is OK, right?

"(We're) a hugger," we said. As we said it, we realized, too late, that she was in prime kiss position. And we caught her off-guard.

"You're a hugger?" she asked.

"Yes," we replied. "We like to hug. Plus, it takes the momentum out of ridiculously awkward moments like we could've just had. So I hug. I like hugging."

"Oh," she said. And again with the laughter.
