This is the sort of comment that no one believes but I’m OK with that.

The night I left for boot camp, I had not one but two longtime female friends throw themselves at me, within less than an hour of each other. I slept with neither of them, didn’t do more than kiss either of them, but we’re talking sudden, “OK, what is she-oh wow ok-5 minutes go by” kind of kisses. I’d known one of them since the first grade.

Now, here’s the part where you stop formulating your accusations of implausible humblebrag and it becomes relatable to OP. 😁

YEARS, and by years I mean DECADES of my life passed before I considered the possibility that it was anything other than “we’re probably not going to see each other again after this, let me give him a treat to remember me by.”

And let me tell you, when that sort of realization hits you decades later, it’s on a whole 'nother level.
