D/K Kiss. What did آپ think?

Personally, I liked it. I know it wasn't a Delena kiss and for that I'm relieved - I think it is WAY too soon for Delena is kiss in season 1. It is one of the most anticipated thing at the moment on VD سے طرف کی Delena fans, once it has happened A LOT will change, so waiting till middle to end of season 2 is fine سے طرف کی me:)

And look at it this way - it shows the intense chemistry Ian and Nina have and it's like a منظر پیش to the actual Delena kiss;)

I HATED that Damon kissed Katherine when it should have been Elena. I know a lot of شائقین are relieved because it's too soon - but I don't get why DE shippers favour a DK kiss over a DE one. I also think their arguments are pretty groundless.
When we find out Damon is in love with Elena in 1x21, nobody that I'm aware of said, 'It's too early for us to know how he feels.' Why was it the right time for us to know he was in love with Elena, but too early for him to kiss her? Isn't it as important as a kiss should be?
I'm not convinced a kiss at the end of 22 episodes means they are 'rushing' into anything. Elena would have cut the kiss short, and in season 2 they would have been a bit awkward before settling down - only things would have been مزید tense than before. Elena's feelings are bound to change in S2, so it wouldn't have harmed DE. Plus it would've been great to see how she had reacted.
Basically, I think it should be about the right moment instead of the right number. The moment was pretty much perfect - Damon was being open and honest and vulnerable for once. The fact that he kissed Katherine is bound to make him مزید guarded for a bit, and might not necessarily be a good thing for DE.
I want to believe when DE kiss for real it will be ten times hotter - but I'm already apprehensive because it's been so built up, and it might not match my (and the fandom's) very high expectations. The DK kiss was hot - can DE really beat it? 'Of course...' but would I be feeling this amount of anxiety without that darned DK kiss? I don't think so. I would rather have had no kiss instead of a fake one. Katherine چرا لیا, چوری کی the kiss that belonged to Elena. What's good about that?
