But upgrading from kissless virgin to virgin is a nice first step, isn't it?
Ladder of progression that can happen in dates:
1) sweet tentative first kiss - testing each other out; 2) initial make out session - closed lips but lots of kissing; 3) in depth make out session - add in French kissing and maybe a little body/hair grabbing; 4) somehow one person gets invited to the others home/place of residence; 5) have some initial foreplay, which can include giving or receiving oral and making out without clothes on; 6) moments right before sex...get condom on, etc; 7) sex.
So thats seven steps. Your goal should be number 4/5 then hope for the best from there. The first 3 steps should happen on good first dates, tbh. But if it takes time, thats perfectly OK. Thats just my experience.
What the fuck is a closed lip make out session?? ---
