(M21) This girl and I have been talking for a few weeks and a few days ago we went out for our "first" date (we'd hung out a couple times beforehand but this was out first "official" date). We went bowling, got some food and overall things went really well. Long story short we ended up kissing which ended up escalating into us making out (i will not disclose how long this went on for). It was my first kiss and hers too, days later and it still doesn't feel completely real. My health anxiety is concerned about STDs but all things considered I think I'm ok since all we did was kiss. It's still early on so I'm hesitant to make it official yet but I'm definitely optimistic.
Overall this is just crazy to think to about and wanted to share my success. Don't lose hope guys 🙏
EDIT: I should ask that during all this she said she loved me which was definitely a little scary as I'd never really heard that from someone before. I hesitated to say it back because it's still early and if this ends up not working out, I don't want it to feel like I was lying by saying it. I do like her and want to see where things go though.
