Juliette - if I get bored with mailing someone, I generally don't bother meeting them in person. Whilst someone can be far funnier by text and email than they are in person (everyone has more time to think up witty one liners behind a keyboard) I don't think I've met many people who are far better in real life but come across as boring via mail. Some, but not many.
Buffy mailed me back, we're meeting tonight. I withdraw my earlier 'humph'
She's also introducing me to a couple of her friends across from the US. Oh the pressure of being witty and charming in front of several people at once.
I got to thinking about kissing. Buffy is a good kisser. The Artist was, and the Vanishing Historian was (although there wasn't a huge amount of that before she vanished).
Safrican wasn't. MedStudent was too bitey. My ExW was a really bad kisser, and I never told her, which I suppose I should have done, gently, in the early days.
So is it just that there are styles people are comfortable with, so a bad kisser for me might be a good kisser to someone else? Or is it just that some people are 'good' and some aren't?
