Caught kissing....embarassed

Me and my gf have been together for almost 10 months now...she is amazing and we are in this relationship for the long haul, pursuing marriage.

Anyway, she was over at my house tonight and we were in the recliner together watching tv. We started kissing and what happens? Mom walks in and sees us, says nothing and then leaves after getting what she needed. So, in essence this is the most embarassed I've ever been. My gf is super embarassed and thinks my mom will no longer like her. She thinks that now my mom thinks we are having sex or something (which we are not, all we do is kiss).

So, I've decided I'm probably gonna need to talk to my mom so its not really weird. What do you think I should do and/or say to her???

Thanks in advance,
Bradley

Yeah, although I can understand how that would be embarrassing, sicne I never kiss my bf infront of my parents, I think they would understand if they saw us. But I am pretty sure that my parents would bring it up, bug me about it. They are both jokers, and it would give me an opportunity to clear it up, although I dont think I would have to, my parents know me well enough.
I am not saying that your dont.

I dont know your parents, so perhaps they wont as quickly bring up the subject, but even if they dont, I think your mother would understand, and that you would only have to mention it if she seems awkward about it or mentions it first. Just dont make a big deal out of it, just saying something simple and short would probably be good enough

Tho i can't understand in some respects (me and my boyfriend try to keep it similar in private and public, his house is mine type of thing), i did get caught at 13...

Explain that is all it was, and just say you don't want her to be worried that worse is happening... you may get a lecture, but let her get it out, talk about it and move on...

Oh, and just a hint, not getting caught makes it a lot easier :p

I started kissing my girlfriend after about 4 months of dating. Her mother found out eventually through my GF's twin sister, but she just thought it was cute. I still don't like the idea of kissing in front of her though, it just seems yea embarrassing. She is all right with it though. Just try to keep it discreet, even though your mom will already know what your probably doing :p.

Im wondering if you were just kissing or making-out? If i was parent that would make a diffrence to me.

personally, i dont know if making-out is good idea... some kissing maybe but not a lot - i think this simply because i woulndt want to make a stupid decision to fall into sin and have sex. its best to protect yourself from yourself and the person you are dating as well.. i think it shows that you respect her enough to be cautious - and also shows both of yalls commitment to Christ.

If you weren't raised in an openly affectionate family you will be embarrased by being seen showing affection.

If we had caught our kids kissing they would have just been doing what they had seen my wife and I doing openly all their lives.

Same here...I guess it depends on the depth of your affection at the time as to whether you should feel embarrassed or not.

Personally I think it's better to err on the side of a light kiss if you're in a spot where anybody in the house could walk through. This way it won't convey any sort of message that wasn't intended to be conveyed. And parents won't need to be worried or anything. :) Naturally I'm not assuming the "depth" of the kiss, but simply presenting what I feel would provide minimal embarrassment for all concerned.

Yeah, my parents kiss all the time in front of us, its normal. But I would still be embarassed if my parents saw me kiss my bf.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't know from personal experience, but I don't think someone could be more embarrassed when being caught kissing than if it was their parents catching them.

I think she will understand. Just don't do what I did when my mom found out that my bf and I had been kissing. I tried to hide it even though she asked me a direct question. She didn't mind that we had been kissing, but that I had tried to hide it from her.
We actually just kissed for the first time in front of my parents on New Year's at Midnight. They didn't care. No where near the way we kiss when we are alone, but a kiss that was nonetheless publicalbe. (If that is a word)
Good luck and reassure your girlfriend.

Wish i had a bf who tried to not kiss in front of his parents.. but he doesn't really care... Infact we got told off for being sily around them (and yeah that includes kissing and playfighting...)

My parents used to get on to me and my boyfriend because we would be silly around them. They said that we were not mature enough for what we were thinking about. So we stopped for the longest time. It has only been in the past few months that we felt comfortable enough to start again. And this time they know where we stand and are cool with it.
