I remember my first experience like it happened yesterday. I was in college, and while I had always identified as straight, there was a guy in my dorm that I just couldn’t stop thinking about. We became close friends over time, but there was always this unspoken tension between us. One night, we were hanging out in his room after a party, just talking and laughing. As the night went on, the mood shifted—it got quieter, more intimate.
At one point, we locked eyes, and I could feel my heart pounding. It was terrifying but exciting at the same time. He leaned in, and before I could even process it, we were kissing. It was soft and hesitant at first, but then it became more passionate. I remember feeling a mix of confusion and exhilaration—it was so different from anything I’d ever experienced, but it felt surprisingly natural.
Afterward, we talked for hours. He told me he had always been into guys but didn’t want to pressure me into anything. That honesty and vulnerability made me feel safe enough to admit that I had been curious for a long time but was too afraid to explore it. That night wasn’t just about the physical—it was about understanding a new part of myself and feeling okay with it.
Looking back, I’m grateful for that experience. It opened my mind and helped me understand that attraction doesn’t always fit neatly into categories. Even though we didn’t end up in a relationship, that moment was a turning point for me, and it’s something I’ll always cherish.
