Two years ago, when I was 16, my dad tried to set me up with one of his business partners. I told him off, and he never tried that again. Soon after that, I met this guy through my friends, and we started dating. He’s only one year older than me, so it’s age-appropriate. It’s a very laid-back and fun relationship, but we have to keep it low-key since we live in the Gulf region, and he’s a native. Due to sociocultural, religious, and even legal factors, he’s not supposed to date. However, like many of these wealthy native Gulf families, they do everything they’re not supposed to do on the down low. I don’t know if it will necessarily last long-term, but for now, we’re having a good time.

I was 15/16 she was 14/15. We were in drama club together and dated for 6 months and I really loved her. She broke my heart when she got 'bored' with me. She had amazing boobs and I have never dated anyone else with such great boobs. We lost our virginity to each other. We just hung out a lot at the movies, the record store, and with our friends. We both really liked movies.

I actually hung out with her a few times, years later. We went to some concerts together when she was between boyfriends. She ended up dropping out of college and being a groupie and doing a lot of drugs.

My next girlfriend after her was awful. But the one after that was pretty good.
