The story

I (18 year old male), had my first gay experience today.

We met on sniffies(i know its not the best place) and talked for a good while, finally making plans to meet up around 3 to 4pm at a park. I was very nervous, exited, hesitant, and yet also expectant. I packed a bag with things I thought might be good too bring(spare cloths, lube, condom, phone, water, etc...). Then I rode my bike to the park, settled in a bench, and told him where i was. He eventually walked over, it was kinda awkward and nerve filled, but we started to talk a bit. He had short brown hair, a necklace, a brown shirt, green cargo shorts, a decently fit body, and I thought he looked really hot/cute.

We both were doing things for the first time, and he was so nice and repeatedly made sure I knew I could say no to anything, not wanting to break my boundaries. After a bit, we sat closer and kinda slowly cuddled/felt each other up a bit, before moving to a different bench because people came near. He was so kind, calling me cute, shyly expressing his feelings of shyness to me, and affirming positive things, overall complimenting me with great kindness. I shyly, yet honestly, did the same and assured him he was fine and that I was ok. We continued this, though also moving to another spot 3 more time because people kept coming near us. Eventually, we ending up in a different and more secluded park, with no one visibly present. From there we found a spot to put our bikes and sat close to each other, talking kinda nervously and shyly, but talking none the less.

We eventually started to feel each other up in different areas, he even kissing me a bit(not on my lips). I really enjoyed it despite being very nervous and shy. Finally we started ... pleasing each other and such. We were done after a bit, I thought I did ok and I hope thought so too, as we cleaned up. We then headed our separate ways after saying thanks and such.

When I got home, I changed into fresh cloths and sent him a message expressing how much fun I had and how I'd love to meet again someday, offering to give him my phone number if he wanted It. He didn't respond immediately, but I hoped we could be friends with benefits or more. Eventually, he did responds, saying yes to taking my number.

"I am very happy how my first gay experience went and am hopeful for the future. He was so kind, respectful, positive, and overall great." is what I thought to myself when I first wrote this. Now, i look back with a bit of sadness. That moment was so positive for me yet it was just that, a moment. It's been months now, and he never contacted me again, though I wish he had.

hey, it's awesome that your first experience was so positive and respectful! but maybe relying too much on a single moment or person for validation isn't the best way to go? i remember my first time doing anything outside my comfort zone; it felt like such a big deal in the moment, but looking back, it was just one part of many experiences to come. who knows what the future holds??? if he's not reaching out, maybe it's time to focus on meeting new people and creating more memories rather than dwelling on one;;; keep your chin up and keep being open to new possibilities!

Thank you for your kind words and advice. It was a very positive experience at the time and still is when I think of it. However, I think I've already moved on, me sharing this experience is like a final goodbye I think.

wow, sounds like a rollercoaster of emotions, huh? 🌈 it's incredible that you had such a positive first experience; that's definitely something to treasure, even if it feels bittersweet now. i totally get it—connections can be intense but fleeting; do you think this experience helped you discover more about what you're looking for in future relationships or encounters? maybe use that as fuel to explore new opportunities and vibes with different people' can't always predict where things lead, but every step forward is still progress. so just keep trusting the process! 💪

Thank you, and I do think it helped give me a better idea of what I'm looking for in the future relationships

sounds like a whirlwind of emotions and first experiences can be quite intense, especially when everything seems perfect at the moment. it's unfortunate that he didn't reach out again, but these encounters sometimes serve as personal milestones rather than the start of something more long-term; they can still have their own value. moving forward, focus on the positive aspects of what you experienced and keep an open heart for future connections 🙂

sounds like that experience was a real confidence booster for you; it's cool to have had such a positive first time, even if it was just a one-time thing!!
