You do have quite a knack for making it sound either unpleasant, painful, or warlike, which pretty much summarizes your feelings on the subject here overall. Yes, it's a skill. You can be really bad at kissing, especially if you've never done it before. And, like any skill, it takes time and practice to get better. Aw, thank you. But I'm as allergeric to feelings as you are to kissing, so I think we're fine.

I'm not afraid of looking like a goober in front of you. You never thought I wasn't one.

Ha. Thank you? I think? I don't know what the appropriate response here is since you've insulted me and complimented me at the same time.

Ah?
