I don't know whether to scream, cry, or be happy. My friend had his first
kiss.

His first kiss with a guy. Ever.

Yes, yes... I know he's young (A freshman) but he's pretty sure that he likes guys. He's told me that he thinks some women are beautiful (Like me), but that he's never seen them like THAT.

But I sort of hooked him up with a sophomore a few weeks ago. They hit it off right away, and I thought they were really cute. They are very careful about who knows.

But today, he was talking to me in English in notes during a boring movie we both had seen ten times. I asked him what was up, and he wrote back that... well...

That he had been kissed earlier that day.

I was a little shocked and sad. He had gotten a boyfriend before me... but non the less, I was happy for him.

I cautioned him about taking it slow and not doing anything he really didn't want to... and then, in his usual way, he wrote back:

'Are you giving me sex tips or life tips?'

But... he seems fine. And his 'friend' is a real sweetie who is in the band. He's adorable.

2. No. He's too much of that overly friendly brother figure.
Also, he's just too sweet for me.

3. It sounds like you're very happy for him
but kind of freaked out about it. He's getting into a relationship, and maybe you understand less of what he's going through now because you haven't been there yet.

That's all okay. He'll be there for you when you get your first boyfriend and first kiss. :)

5. I'm just getting over protective...
Because his dad would kill him (Literally) if he ever found out.

6. I definitely understand that.

That's a major risk in many families. I was disowned by my dad's entire family, but only partially over being gay. I wasn't enough of a scumbag to fit into that family.

If his father loves him then he'll eventually learn to deal. But it's best not to put Dad into that situation until they're no longer living in the same house. :)

7. How sad.
To have the first time you start to fall in love muddied by by anxiety and fear.

8. If he's never seen women like THAT, as you say..
then, be happy!

Your advice about taking it slow is good advice for anyone really!
