Do you remember your first kiss? The anticipation, the sweaty palms, the quick glances, the awkward puckering -- all these moments make up that time-honored rite of passage into a life absorbed by love.
For Valentine's Day, we went the University Settlement Senior Center on New York's Lower East Side and asked four women -- Gladys Solano, Nellie Velasquez, Rosa Irizarry and Marta Arroyo -- to tell us about their first kisses. The question surprised them, but it took them on a funny, poignant trip down Memory Lane.
"I must have been 13," Irizarry, now in her mid-60s, tells Mashable. "All the girls wanted him. I got him," she laughs.
Special thanks to the New York City Department for the Aging and the University Settlement Senior Center for help with the project.
