I’m so happy that Ring doorbells did not exist when I was a teenager.

Is that why they hugged the first 20 dates…? I get taking it slow but holy fuck man!

Reminds me of when my husband was just my best friend. And the longer we were friends the longer the hugs got....not wanting to let go but not wanting to admit the crush.

It's been almost 30 years and I still remember those feelings like it was yesterday.

It definitely stirred some core memories for me too. I specifically remember before any real intimacy looking forward to good-byes because it was just assumed that you'd hug, and wondering if it would be the first time you'd kiss. Powerful feelings, I'm really glad to have this memory.
