What Age were You?

make sure they are someone you really like

and it will be memorable, so don't do it while drunk

it doesn't matter whether it is their first or 100th time

don't be nervous, just go for it and have fun!

Who and Where?

I've gone to sleep away camp for some time now, and when I was 12 years old I met this boy and we became friends and became close friends over the school year because we still kept in touch. A little more than a year later I found out that he started to like me, and the next summer when I got back to camp we hung out a lot more and I realized I started to like him a lot too. We were both the same age by the way (14).

How Did it Happen?

One night towards the end of camp during free time before bed, we were sitting with a bunch of friends and talking, and then he took my hand and asked if we could go take a walk We walked around for a bit and then we started to walk behind one of the cabins. We stopped walking and he brushed the hair away from my face (it was just like in the movies, it was so sweet) and then we looked into each other's eyes and he leaned in to kiss me, and then we were French kissing for a couple seconds. Two counselors came behind the bunk because it was time for curfew, so that was it. To this day (I'm 17 now) we are still really good friends.
