So, was that first kiss awkward for you?

Yes, Six-and-a-Half asked me this.  I've now realized that the nickname may also be his rating, if I had a rating scale.

We've been out twice now, and he is sweet and interesting.  Albeit nebish and frustrating.  The main topic of conversation we've now covered on two dates is vegetarian as compared to kosher, where there is a spectrum of ways to exhibit ones compassion for animals such as there is a spectrum of how people keep kosher.  But I digress... 

And in the middle of our 2nd date, Six-and-a-Half asks me if the peck on our first date (which I'd totally forgotten about, as it was truly a peck goodnight) was awkward.  

Clearly, it hadn't made an impression on me.  That's not a good sign!  And clearly, he'd spent a whole week wondering about it.  And that is worse.
