it was really hot and we were both from not humid places and we had just spent six hours moving into the dorms after talking on hinge during the two week mandatory nyu quarantine but then neither of us wanted to say anything about it so we were keeping six feet of distance for covid protocol but also because we both smelled terrible. so much love to her though

I was 17. I had met this guy on tinder back when they let minors have their own section (total mess). He became my long distance boyfriend. I didn’t really like him he was a random rebound after my first love.
We met up in Toronto in the middle of the summer. I was about to get on the train home and he kissed me. He was dripping with sweat. I had to wipe my face after that mess. I didn’t tell any of my friends about it. I thought I didn’t like kissing for a while afterwards.

I was sixteen, we had met at a High School Model UN taking place in University for a week long.
She arrived late and I fell for her as soon as she walked in. Throughout the week I would soon discover she was the funniest and most charming person there.
Our sessions were modeled after WHO and the theme was suicide prevantion, we all cried in the last few days because everyone had a personal connection with the topic, and it was so intense. Me and her would bond in between sessions and for the last day I brough her a brownie, but ants had taken over the sweet treat before it could reach her.
We started seeing each other afterwards. Our first kiss was right after a play I was doing and she had come to watch. It was after everyone had already left, and it was just the two of us in front of my school's gate. My face still had a bit of white clown paint I had tried to clean in a rush, but she still held my face close and we kissed. It was stiff and awkward, I still had to get home early to study for a presentation I had the next day, and hadn't even started to research for, but ultimate it was warm and lovely.
We dated for a few months but I had to move and ended up difting apart.

during freshers week, you’re actively encouraged to party crash the fancy accommodation houses, so me and someone I was seeing visited a house of people we’d never met before. inside there was a quite reserved looking guy with a very upset vibe. he invited me over and we took turns drinking from this bottle of what was homebrewed vodka as we lamented on our lives. he told me he’d just found out his girlfriend had cheated on him. as an 18 year old with very limited dating knowledge i tried my best to console him, but he kept saying “it’s ok” and told me that everyone had to feel it to grow, and there was no anger in him to fight with what had happened. he told me i was a good kid as we both finished the bottle and hugged each other. i left maybe 30 minutes later and i never saw him again, but i think about that poor guy every now and then.

take it on the chin. and its nostalgic even.. oftentimes we giggle immediately after & the tension melts away… 🎶
otherwise this is a good litmus test for the awkward situation - if they meet you with silence then prepare yourself to apologize, listen, and to make some amends
