Imagine you're in this situation with KS girl of your choice. Knowing yourself, what do you think you do? Do you go for it right away, or do you talk first? Are you shy, or outgoing, and when the time comes, do you really get in there and make out or are you gentle? If you have kissed before, share the experience, and how it might have differed with your KS girl of choice. That's the key here, relating it to the character you pick.

I never have, so I think I'd be pretty super shy around Emi and want to talk for a while first, kind of stalling, but when I went for it, (most likely due to a combination of Emi hurrying things along and also being bubbly about it) I'd really commit. I'd be gentle and not super aggressive, but I wouldn't hesitate either. I'd get too nervous if I did and probably spazz out. I might even have to do a little more than I wanted, because fiery runner girl.

Is that video not beautiful, by the way?

Actually I find the video kind of weird and awkward and offputting.

I feel like I would go through with it, but to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if I freak out beforehand
Making out with someone I've had some time to get to know, sure... but a stranger and a camera watching? I daren't :L

Probably choose Natsume though, because bestgirl.
Gotta be gentle with the arthritic. Gentle with a lot of girls, but especially the arthritic.

What about it?

While treading carefully in here (I've had a girlfriend for 2 years, so this is all VERY hypothetical, not least because they're fictional and shit :L), if it was Emi (because bestgirl) I'd probably be a bit nervous but she seems fun enough, and I think that'd rub off on me enough to just go with it and not think about it too much. If it was Meiko (I'm not usually interested in the older lady but... well...), I'd probably go for the side of the cheek first of all, watch her blush slightly (while I go the colour of boiled red cabbage water) and then slowly lip-kiss her.

How the f**k did I end up hypothesising that?! Definitely not thought about this before, honest.

Yeah.
Me neither.
Totally.
Nope.
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

Shy as hell, then I'd probably get better. So...Yeah.

The part where strangers are making out for the camera?

It's not that simple though. The guy didn't just emotionlessly say, "hey, make out" he got volunteers who were totally innocent to capture one of the most intimate moments in their life on video, filled with all of the emotional charges of a first time experience. In like, five minutes, that video says more about people than most full length documentaries do in their entirety.

We'd awkwardly stare at our feet, getting increasingly nervous. I'd be paralyzed right on the fight or flight line, and she'd default to flight and run for it.

It'd all end in tears, really.

You can dress it up all you want, but all I see is actors who are desperate enough for fame that they agreed to go on camera and make out with a stranger on the off chance it would lead to a part later on.

Totally innocent? Of each other, maybe. No way is it any of their first kisses. 'He' is a she, by the way. Tatia? Go to her website, she is a she.

With the greatest respect, you're speaking as someone who worried what having a real life girlfriend would do to your KS waifu experience.

I found the video fairly cute, as was watching which people were compatible and which weren't - the one who was identified as an actress seemed the least into it, for example!

The first kiss between you and that specific person is a wonderful, awkward, but amazing experience. I say this as what some would call a 'late bloomer' because I wasn't 'making out' with all and sundry by the age of 13. The whole approach is tense in a wonderful (sorry to repeat myself), indescribable way. When someone moves in like that, there's little doubt as to the intention. If they don't pull away (unlikely if you've judged it right) then you slowly close in until your lips touch theirs for the first time. This is the Berlin Wall falling, the Iron Curtain lifting, so many barriers being broken down.

Now you're much, much more free. You go in again, your grips on one another tighten, your mouths open, you perhaps feel their tongue, one hand holds the side of the others cheek, you can see it all in that video. It can now go as far or as little as you dare. Your first kiss with that person can be as far as it goes ever, or can lead directly to you falling into bed together shortly afterwards. You'll never quite recapture that first tentative probing, however.

The flaw in your question is that we aren't just thrown into a room with the KS girl of our choice because we already know them and what they'll be like once intimate.

Wow, you made that sound amazing. Good points, I guess.

If I were in the situation shown in the video, that is, filmed by some stranger who demands I kiss some other stranger...I'd tell them both to quit being creepy and get out of my house.
