My first real relationship was in high school at age 18 with somebody who left me kinda burned out with their lack of maturity. It was a rather unhealthy relationship that ended after about a year. After that, I went out with a couple people in college but it never led to anything. Now I'm 24 and last year I met somebody really special. We've been seeing each other for about half a year now and I can confidently say I'm glad to have waited before finding myself in something serious. I truly feel loved and cared for with a certain stability that I didn't have at 18.
