Kaje Harper | 17410 comments Thanks for starting this :) (With the group having started out as a YA M/M group, and then being broadened to LGBT, we're still finding places we need to even things up.)

Wren  (wrenreaders) my first kiss with a girl was about a month ago in the hospital. i was there because they found some suicidal notes in my journal. she was there because of cutting. we were sitting, came out to each other, and became friends. a few days later, we were watching t.v, and she asked if i wanted to kiss her. i said she could, but we had to be quick so that nobody could see. we did, and it was amazing. i havent seen her since, but i want a girl like her; smart, truthful, sweet, and sincere

Kaje Harper | 17410 comments Aw, so nice that your first girl kiss was with someone who meant something. I hope maybe one day you'll find that person you're looking for (and that you'll feel better and be ready for her then.) (((hugs)))

Amy I met my datefriend when I was almost 23. Never had anyone before.
And we are still dating online. It's a little difficult when we're half the world away from each other. But we're working on getting together

Long distance is hard, but it can work out. I wish you both luck.

Amy Thank you! We just have to believe and trust each other, and I'm sure we can do it :)

My husband and I spent a year apart when we were just getting serious, in the pre-Skype/pre-chat/pay-for-long-distance days. It can be done.

Amy Everything can be done. If only those two parties want to. Thank you

FFP-Grumpy | 7 comments Hi :)
I'm soon fiancée/engaged, with my first real girlfriend : Edwige, of course before I flirted with some grils, I appreciate some girls, but never before Edwige I loved someone.
How I meet her ?
It was the birthday of my best friend : Magali. I was invited. And during the party, a wonderful girl coming, it was the cousin of Magali, It was love at first sigh, a lightning stroke, and now she's my is my source of happiness and my muse, and much more than that she's my dream, my family and the person with who I'm going to grow old.
(And my best friend accept this, but not her family :/ )
Yeah it's crazy I know ^^ I'm again sorry for mistakes ;)

Kaje Harper | 17410 comments How lovely, and I'm glad you have friends who are supportive. (Family is tough. But you have a lot of years to be together, and it's amazing sometimes what time can do to change someone's attitude.) Congratulations!

((hugs)) - you never know. I saw a personal story from someone I know who had to leave home young because her father was violently angry about her coming out. Twenty years later, someone sent her a clipping where her father was written up for his wonderful support of LGBT employees in his business. And they were able to get back in touch, although she's still a bit wary. But he said he did it partly to show her how wrong he was. So... stay safe, but maybe keep hope, at least for some family member or two. And if they are that bad, then distance for her may end up being a good thing.

FFP-Grumpy | 7 comments It's a very touching history !!!
but her family is really despicable. I'm agree with you, the distance is good because since we live together, she feels better etc. And my family is very open-minded, very, you know with a hippie mom, etc. So she found a large and very good family. So it's okay, she's safe. We're very happy ^^

Kaje Harper | 17410 comments How lovely for her. Sometimes the very best family is the one we make, not the one we're born with.
