Okay so I'm 18, and my mom is pretty strict when it comes to boys in general so I've never really made a lot of guy friends or talked to guys who had some interest in me. But now that I'm 18, I've started making more guy friends and in December, I met a really cool guy (23) who is verrry attractive and has an amazing personality overall. We don't get to hang out as much as we'd like since I have to sneak around because of my mom, but he's very understanding with it and we work with what time we've got. We also have like this mutual agreement where neither of us want to get involved in any relationship so it's kind of like a fwb situation, but we also can be like a support system for each other. After meeting up quite a bit for some late night hangout sessions in my driveway, we eventually progressed to having sex in the beginning of this month. He's the first guy I've done anything with, and he was super sweet and very reassuring when it came to doing anything sexual together; always making sure I was comfortable and trusted him enough to do whatever it was we were progressing to.

It's just a really good feeling to know that someone can care for you and give you the respect you deserve while benefitting in almost every way possible, even if it isn't a titled relationship out in the open for everyone to know about.

I've gained a lot of confidence because of him, and he's helping me realize that my mom cannot control every aspect of my life, as much as she'd like to. So I'm getting a bit more adventurous and doing things she normally wouldn't allow me to, and she hasn't overreacted yet so far.

But anyways he's a really really really good guy and makes me very happy so I had to share. If you read all this, thanks lol
