"Easy,""romantic," and "shame-free" aren't the first words most people use to describe their first relationship. More often than not, first relationships are ill-fated and messy, which can make for great life lessons and stories down the road.
To that end, a Reddit user known as "Chill_Cloak" asked about the "cringiest" thing people did in their first relationships and, unsurprisingly, the responses to the thread contained more than a few legitimately cringe-worthy stories. So, no matter how old you were when you entered your first relationship, you'll definitely relate to these beautifully awkward tales of young love.
1. Taking a first kiss too far.
"The first time I kissed a guy I was 18 years old. Up until then my only exposure to kissing was from sex scenes in shows/movies. So when we started making out (in public...in the student union building at our university), I made moaning noises because I thought that's what you were supposed to do! God, I hate myself. I can't even look at him anymore." - Redditor Pixiupixiu
2. Hooking up anytime, anywhere.
"We would put a blanket over us and fool around with other people in the room. The sounds they must have heard, my god." -CrazyMuppetSex
3. Faking an engagement.
"Once a girl I had an off and on crush on since kindergarten wrote 'I love you' on my notebook when I was 14. I freaked out and told her best friend I had an arranged marriage overseas." - Redditor Dilxoxoxlib
