The first time I kissed a guy I was 18 years old... Up until then my only exposure to kissing was from sex scenes in shows/movies. So when we started making out (in public... In the SUB at our Uni), I made moaning noises because I thought that's what you were supposed to do! God, I hate myself. I can't even look at him anymore... I just see idiot me moaning like an asshole Mmmm Mmmm mmm uhhh mmm whyyyyyyy?

**FRESHMAN YEAR IN HIGHSCHOOL**My girlfriends birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her the perfect present. So, I asked my older sister to help. We go to the mall and I wanted to get her this gem-encrusted necklace but my sister told me that was too predictable. She said, "if I wanted to keep this girl, I had to be unique and appeal to her feminine side". So she leads me to the sex shop where she picks out this ridiculous looking thing called a rabbit. She said, "if I get her that it would make me seem confident and that she would think about me every time she used it". Both of those things sounded great to me so I bought it, I wrapped it discretely and I couldn't wait to give it to her. I made sure I caught her at her locker and I gave her the present. I told her not to open it here and to open it later. Hoping that she would just put it in her locker and open it when she got home. Lunchtime comes around and we are in the cafeteria. When I meet her at our table she is surrounded by her friends with a table full of cards and gifts and my terribly wrapped dildo was right smack in the middle. Before I could say anything, she grabs it, announces that "this one is from my boo" and opens it. Everyone just froze and of course, they then chime in with their "Oh my gosh's" and "what a freak?" " what kind of girl do you think she is?". Then she turns it on and puts it in the middle of the table vibrating and spinning and of course attracting more people. I was so embarrassed, I couldn't move. Needless to say, she didn't appreciate the gift as much as my sister said she would. We broke up not too long after that. I really hope she kept the toy and thinks about me when she uses it.

16 - 17 years old : Being too exclusive, wanting to be just the two uf us all the time, thereby refusing to "share him" with his friends and not socializing enough. Also, thinking sex was the best thing I could do to show him my love, resulting in a relationship where all we did was sex. Needless to say, he got bored of it after a while and I had the worst heartache of my life because I was genuinely in love and just too stupid to open up to his world and his friends...

Maybe you took the relationship more seriously than he did. Sounds like you were hurting more from the breakup.
Caroline Espenschied (Submission author) 7 years ago
I don't think so : he actually was a really nice guy, and in hindsight I think he fell out of love with me because I didn't fuel the relationship anymore, while he tried to and I wouldn't let him. We became friends eventually but then he started smoking pot so I stopped seeing him.

Late bloomer here. After we broke up, we still shared the same circle of friends. Ended up staying at the same hotel for an event. To make an embarrassing night short: Got drunk and thought it would be a good idea to knock on his door in the middle of the night. Very loudly. For about 15 minutes. After that I staggered back to my own room, cried under the shower, almost drowned myself because the alcohol made me drowsy (it was a nice hotel with a giant shower big enough to comfortably crouch in) and woke up the next morning with an epic headache and missing memories of the night before. Sadly, the cringy ones were still crystal clear. Best part? Met him and the others at breakfast. Pretended not to remember anything. It felt like the meal would never end. My silver lining: I never got this drunk again and the next time we met, he was extremely rude to some other girl so I got reminded of why breaking up with him wasn't entirely a sad thing.

In college (yes, I was a late bloomer) I flew across Texas to visit my older brother. Brother introduces me to his friend, George. George asks me out on a date. We had a few beers and then went to the county fair, and I rode the "Zipper" for the first time. Got off, and threw up on George's shoes. About a month later George DRIVES eight hours to visit me at college. I was sick with tonsillitis, but he had driven all that way. He picks me up to go to a movie. I'm running a fever, and threw up in his car. Never made the movie. Never saw him again.

So i was madly in love with this guy, (he liked me too) and all je did was trying to set me up with his friend/brother who was into me. So eventualy his friend gave up and he was starting to show interest in me. I was so nervous and worried coz i didn't know how to kiss, and i through he was experienced. I came up to idea to make a deal whit that friend of his. I was to kiss him (which he really wanted) to practice making out and he was supposed to keep that secret. We kissed, turns out i wasnt that bad. Later , i ended up with that guy i liked and almoust broke up coz his friend couldn't keep a secret. I did it all so i didnt embarrass my self i coz i thought i was wayyyyy out of his league. So that is the story of my first bf, but we are still together, its been 5 years ago.

We slightly debate because she want to hold it by herself but i win and when i trying to open it. I do my best to open it even my face express how hard im trying to open it. And when my girlfriend notice me acting weird. Its too late. I open the umbrella. It is a umbrella that you need to click to open it (it wasn't that trend at the time.)

When we started to date, I was having braces at that time. I was coming to meet his parents and he picked me up with his friends and immediately took us into restaurant so I could get something to eat. However, I was very shy about eating on public and in front of him (braces) and didn't really get the part that we were there because of me, so we spent there 30 mins until I said I don't want anything and they were all like "so why the f* are we here?!".

Oh lord.. You're making me remember this again. Ok so this was when i was in 5th grade (the grade where you turn 11 years old) , and i was the (wannabe) "popular" kid.. I had to date people to keep my popularity up because there was other people that kept bringing down my rank. So i asked random guys out and one of them said yes.. That took my popularity level way high up because he wasn't the best looking guy. After 2 days a dumped him. Man i was a stupid child.

This wasn't exactly a relationship but it's still the most humiliating moment of my life and probably Is for him too. I was friends with some dude in a club in high school, already in a relationship myself. He had a three year girlfriend and I was really under the impression we were 'bros' (I'm a girl, not a dude, but I think women can be Bros). He invited me over to his house to work on a project, told me his family was home (they were. Mainly his older sister and a sibling). I was 17 and disgustingly immature so I brought a bottle of whiskey. Wanted to be cool and all that. Long story short I drank half the bottle (never drank before in my life), and he drank one sip. Ended up doing questionable things he asked me to do, don't recall a lot. Not proud of it. The weird part is his sister freaked out on him HARD afterwards. Made us go to the mall and get me pizza after I could stand up straight. He's still with his gf as far as I know. My reputation went to zero and I moved out of state. still hate myself for it. I did tell my bf at the time and we broke it off, mutually. Most horrible thing I've done to a guy. I didn't deserve him.

That creep took advantage of you. I'm sure it was hard for your bf too, but that wasn't something horrible you did to him, it was something horrible that guy did to you-- and I'm sorry you had to go through it. I'm glad that his sister tried to defend you, good for her, and good for you for being able to make a new start-- but you shouldn't hate yourself for something you did not have control over.

My first boyfriend and I are good friends to this day, but our relationship (which lasted about a month over the summer of sixth grade) was a joke. Probably the cringiest thing I did was break up with him after a month because some kid at camp had a crush on me and I decided I wasn't into my boyfriend anymore, mainly because it was summer and I wasn't spending as much time with him. The kid and I never got together, it just made me rethink my commitment. Ah, the folly of young love! Today, I'm in a happy long-term relationship, and he's openly gay, so I'm glad it didn't work out.

Not really relationships but so cringe. First, I liked one boy in middle school but never even talked to him... Instead I kept what I called “the Devin Diary,” a detailed account of anything I saw him doing or heard about him that day. I wrote fan fiction and poetry about him too. Another one, first time my feelings were returned by a boy, I made an online account dedicated solely to shipping us. So embarrassing when I look back on it, but he was okay with it and it’s still up

I dated a guy when I was 14 for about 2 months. We texted all evening most days, but in person we were super awkward around each other. He was always more focused on his best friend, and wouldn't go beyond hugging and hand holding with me. We went on a field trip and got into a fight because I felt like he didn't care, and he gave his phone to his friend to fight for him! Then the next day (it was an overnight trip) of course everyone knew about it, and his girl friend (she was kind of a pretentious b*tch) basically forced us to ait down and talk about it (neither of us wanted to be there). It was super awkward, and she mediated the whole thing. It ended with a very awkward hug and me running off to my friends almost in tears. We broke up about 2-3 weeks after that. He's currently dating a crazy chick who got so jealous of our later friendship that she virtually wouldn't let me be near him, insisting that I was in love with him (not even close). That girl unfortunately ended our friendship.

This is nothing to cringe about whatsoever. At the time it was a survival tactic and this was the safer of the two different terrible types of abuse. Abusers also do everything they can to ensure that You feel it is your fault, when it is not. I escaped domestic violence two decades ago. I have learnt so much more now than I could ever see at the time, bring isolated from friends and family by him etc. I hope you will see nothing of this was your fault, do not regret what decisions you had to take made from the terrible circumstances you were in. I very much hope that you are feeling stronger now 😊
BusLady 7 years ago
Victims of abuse often end up in other abusive situations. Its like you are a magnet to people like the abusive BF. They can single you out across a roomful of people. They read your body language. Trust me on this: don't ever blame yourself if someone is abusing you in any way.

Well my first relationship is my only relationship :) So blessed that my first boyfriend ended up being "the one". We're married now. Anyways, when we were about a year into our relationship, we went on a short trip together and stayed at a bed and breakfast. I made it clear from day one that we were gonna stay virgins until marriage (yes, kind of out of the norm, but I'm old-school like that). Well things got pretty heated up one night on the trip. He then asked me if I wanted to have actual sex. I said "no, no!" like I was all surprised and upset. We stopped fooling around for the night and went to sleep and it was very awkward. Kinda my fault for leading him on that night. I told him from day one we were gonna wait until marriage, but he thought I changed my mind. Yeesh it was awkward. Lol but everything worked out for us and I knew it would.
