Itβs time to stop treating first dates, first kisses, and losing virginity as milestones or rites of passage that must be completed. Itβs time to stop expecting these things to happen in everyoneβs teen years or even in their twenties. Itβs time to stop letting people call themselves βlate bloomersβ for getting their first kiss at 16. Itβs stupid. Itβs unnecessary. Itβs damaging to people who for whatever reason it may be donβt have romantic prospects or donβt even want to do those things.
