Herpes Outbreak Mild to Severe

I have an encounter recently that I thought may lead to me having oral herpes, as I don't have cold sore as a child as far as I can remember.

My confusion is that since that encounter, I haven't developed any obvious or typical blisters which resembles oral herpes as found in online resources like medhelp here, and if there are any mild symptoms, I can only think of some small bumps and some tiny red bumps that look like pimples, which they never turned into fluid-filled blisters (or maybe they indeed are blisters but as they are tiny, I'm not confident to say whether they are blisters or not).

1. If I have oral herpes from that encounter, and the initial symptoms are mild, it is possible that I may have another severe or nasty outbreak sometime later (for practical purposes)? Or will the outbreaks become even milder and milder?
2. If I didn't have any primary outbreak (I've seen in medhelp that not all people being infected with HSV will have primary outbreak), is it possible that I can have a severe and nasty "primary outbreak" sometime later?

Everyone is differant but if you hado no hsv before this and contracted the virus. then the odds are you would have a obvious primary outbreak. What was the exposure you are concerned about?

The exposure is a short period of receiving oral and a deep french kiss
