Just my opinion, but ....

Key points :
*First* kiss attempt
High school

Most of us learn appropriate social interaction by trial and error when we are young. I’d say the limits of “young” are around 25 and perhaps also based on experience. Someone who’s been actively dating since the age of 18 (16? 14? 12?) should be socialized long before the age of 25. Someone who is extremely shy and inexperienced might still be fumbling around and making a first pass at 25.

I really don’t think that typical teenage awkwardness should qualify as harassment. That doesn’t mean that the target wasn’t hurt/offended. But I hardly think that an attempted kiss can qualify as a traumatic event, even if unwelcome. Memorable and upsetting, yes. Traumatic, no.

If I had to guess, I’d guess for the girl you kissed it was a first. I’ll bet she remembers it. Maybe with fondness, maybe she finds it amusing. Maybe both.

No men were more masculine than the monstrous hulks of ancient Germania, the only ones to defeat Augustus in a battle.

They had utter contempt for any young man who had intercourse prior to the age of 25. They said that doing it too young would make you effeminate.

Interestingly, a man’s brain is not fully developed [the judicial branch] until around that age according to research by Neil Boortz.
