First Boyfriend
by marinashifrin
In the third installment of “The Dear Diaries” series I discuss my first boyfriend and what happened to us.
Dear Marina,
You and Ben end up getting married. No you don’t. Yes you do. Just kidding, no you don’t. You date for two months. You never kiss, but one time, when Ben was reaching behind him to hold your hand he accidentally grabs your vagina instead. It’s the most exciting sexual experience you have with a boy until one year later.
You and Ben become friends towards the end of high school. He comes to visit you in Taiwan 10 years after you dated. He now lives in Minneapolis.
Love,
Marina Shifrin
P.S. *sigh*

These posts so bizarrely make me feel that much less embarrassed about my own diaries and their inherent awfulness. So glad to know it wasn’t just my teenage self….it’s everyone.
Me too! I used to be embarrassed with what I wrote when I was younger so it’s nice to see inside the mind and diary of another girl. Great series, Marina!
