High School RomanceI hope I didn't give the impression that Inever dated during high school. One of my mostmemorable dates was one I had for a schooldance. It was with a girl I had met at my church.She was beautiful and intelligent. In addition todocumenting my lack of sophistication, this storywill also illustrate the extent of the differencesbetween then and now, at least when it comes tosexual awareness.At this dance I saw a girl: it was love atfirst sight. I kept looking at her and she keptlooking at me. I went up to her date and asked tospeak with him. As I had hoped, he found mydate attractive and so we decided to trade dates.Neither of the girls seemed to object to the idea ofa trade.Later that night, my new date and Ibegan kissing and making out in the car. When IFrench kissed her, she began to scream and hitme. After she calmed down, she explained to methat her mother had told her that a man puttinghis tongue in a girl's mouth was how babies weremade. Carolyn Edwards became my firstgirlfriend. Our song was the theme from MoulinRouge by Percy Faith. The first lyric is, “Whenever we kiss, I worry and wonder.”372
