Chapter 12: The Lost Boyfriend
One of the other first few guys that I met and went out with after everything with Al came crashing down was a guy that I matched with on Hinge who was looking for someone to take to a wedding in November… in Italy. I figured he was joking, so I went with it, plus,…

Chapter 4: The French One
In summer of 2015, my parents were set to go on a cruise to Iceland with my grandma and my aunt. Unfortunately for my aunt, she realized that she would no longer be able to go on this cruise because of a work commitment. Fortunately for me, my parents found out it was easier to…

Chapter 3: My First Three Kisses
Like I’ve already said, I was a late bloomer. I didn’t go on a real date until I was in college, partially because in high school I didn’t have many options. I went to two different boarding schools, and while now I’m pretty open about my life now (clearly), back then, the thought of a…
