So, yesterday I went on a magical, rom-com cliche first date with this guy who's awesome. We grabbed some lunch, then went ice skating and had some playful competition. He's terrible and he ended up ripping his pants (it was pretty funny), so I told him I'd hipster-fy him at Urban Outfitters and we ended up choosing ridiculous outfits for each other to try on. We could've easily been in a musical montage. Afterwards, we drove out to the beach (all the while jamming out to 80's rock) and we walked towards the dark beach. We were all alone and we laid out on the sand next to the waves and looked up at the stars. We just talked and it was amazing. It all culminated to a playful tackle-fight and I ended up on my back and he leaned towards me. All very movie-like.
Then he said, "Man, I really want to kiss you now!" I kinda wished he would've just leaned in and gone for it. Then when I gave him the OK, he was...very slobbery. Like, his mouth was over mine and kinda felt like he was sucking my face off. Then he used A LOT of tongue and I kinda had to back off and sort of show him how to kiss. I didn't really want to teach him how to kiss when it was our first kiss! Well, we got past that (I didn't make it a big deal) and then he drove me back and our date ended.
For some reason, his lack of kissing ability has just bothered me. I can't help but wish it would've been an awesome kiss. Now, even though the whole day was amazing and he's such a great guy, I can't help but reconsider pursuing the relationship. I feel so shallow for dwelling so much on this, because you can easily teach someone how to be a better kisser! It shouldn't be a big deal! **I'm just wondering if I'm being silly for over-looking everything else just because of his kissing skills? Has a bad first kiss (or continued bad kissing) been a deal-breaker for anyone else?

Had a magical, almost perfect first date with this great guy, but his bad kissing has cast a shadow over my feelings for him. Am

Dated a guy that was terrible at kissing, and my first kiss was so romantic. Should I be over this or is this just a
