This new year I've been observing and coming up with theories left and right. My latest one is entitled, "Never Been Kissed".

It all started one night when I was having dinner with a few friends. D and I have been sharing food for quite a while, so it was natural for me to grab a few samples off his dinner place and vice versa. One of our friends mentioned how he does not share food or drinks with anyone except maybe his own family members. Even during dim sum, he would ask for an extra fork for the communal dim sum in the middle. Thank goodness he isn't Catholic, huh? Kidding. Anyway, we later started talking about relationships and it turns out that for his own reasons, he's never been in a relationship before.

Fast forward to a few months later. I asked D to save me his last bite of pie because I just wanted to have a little sample taste. At the moment, I was talking to a friend about stuff and D walked over and gave me his plate with his last bite. My friend said it was gross how I'm eating his leftovers... swapping spit and what not, I guess. But it's D (not just anyone), so I never gave it a second thought. (Note: never been in a relationship, never been kissed.)

So, this leads me to this theory: those who think it's gross/dirty/etc. to share food with people most likely have never been kissed. However, the counter isn't true: just because you don't mind sharing food with others does not necessarily mean you have been kissed.
