Kiss the Girl
How many times have I whispered that phrase to myself over the years? I’d find myself in a situation where things in a relationship were progressing to that point of first contact, yet frozen in fear, I’d wait for them to make the first move. Kiss the girl. What this boils down to is not about failed first kiss between new friends. It’s much more profound. This is about chances never taken in the arena of love. How many possible good relationships have you passed up because of chances never taken?
Kiss the girl.
For me, I know that there have been many missed opportunities. I can’t put my finger on just one. They sort of all drift past the window of my consciousness as I look back on the years. They were the possible connections that never were because I was too scared—too uncertain. It could have been the girl in the mall that smiled at me, but I continued walking. Maybe it was that ex-girlfriend who called and I purposely didn’t pick up. It could be the girl on Match.com that wrote me back a little too long after I smiled at her and I failed to reply. I got busy. We all get busy. We all get scared. We all miss chances that maybe we should take.
Kiss the girl.
It’s a white day outside. The snow is falling thickly from the sky, covering the ground and tracks of people as they make their way from their homes. How many paths would cross if every person would just reach out and take one chance today—one shot at being and doing what they really desire to be and do? Yet the snow falls thickly. The tracks are covered. The steps and missteps are buried. All is blank. It’s a new world for fresh tracks now.
Go ahead.
Kiss the girl.
