For me, it started with a kiss. I had just moved to a new city for work and didn’t know anyone. One evening, I decided to check out a local LGBTQ+ bar, mostly out of curiosity. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for—I just knew I wanted to explore this part of myself that I had kept hidden for so long.
That’s where I met Chris. He was confident, outgoing, and had this energy that drew people in. We started talking, and it felt like we had known each other for years. By the end of the night, he asked if I wanted to grab a late-night bite, and we ended up walking around the city, talking about everything from music to childhood memories.
When we finally said goodbye, he leaned in and kissed me. It was gentle but electric, and I remember feeling like the world stopped for a moment. That kiss wasn’t just my first with a guy—it was my first step toward accepting myself.
We dated casually for a few months, and during that time, I learned so much about what I wanted and who I was. Chris was the perfect person to share that first experience with—he made me feel seen and valued. Even though we eventually went our separate ways, I’ll always be grateful for what he taught me.
