First Kiss by the Lake with an Older Guy

Share Your Story: My First Kiss

From Margretta

What Age were You?

I was 9 and he was 13

What Kind of Kiss was It?

a romantic, beautiful, perfect kiss

Who and Where?

With this guy, Ian, I'd had a crush on since like 3rd grade

How Did it Happen?

He and I have been friends since I was in 3rd grade and he was in 7th grade (Now I'm in 8th grade and he is a senior. yep I said senior). He and his sister and two nieces and two nephews go to a cabin by a lake in Nebraska every summer for like 2 weeks, and in 4th grade they asked me to come along. So I did. And on the very last day Ian and I were sitting by the lake. All of the sudden he leans in. I'd knew what kissing was and I'd seen my parents kiss a thousand times, but I was scared out of my wits. We kissed and he pulled away suddenly. He said "OH MY GOD. I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me." I told him it was ok and kissed his cheek. We were never girlfriend/boyfriend and we never spoke of it again... but it was still my first kiss... and my favorite kiss. =)

Advice

  • He was 4 years older than me so if you like someone older than you, it's not impossible. It's just more difficult...
