He stated in an interview that if Katy would have asked to kiss him, he would have said no because he wanted his first kiss to be special.
I read this a couple of days ago and my heart sank for him. You are right, he was saving his 1st kiss and that should not have been taken away from him.
It would have been looked at differently had the sexes been reversed.
I think it is sweet when young people are saving themselves to make things like their first kiss special. Some entitled acting pop star has no right to try and take that from someone.
