Jenni
Age 37. Female. Bisexual.

Age 17
The First Love
My first real boyfriend. He was in university which made me feel really cool and important. He was really charming and funny and obsessed with the Strokes. We dated for two years.
Age 23
The Drummer
He said my dog looked like a rat (she was the most adorable pomeranian, actually). He wanted to see me all the time for a month and then he got back together with his ex and ghosted me.
Age 26
The Selena Babe
We'd had a flirtation going in person for a while and then stumbled on each other on a dating app. I went over to her house and we hooked up while listening to "Hands to Myself" by Selena Gomez. She bought us donuts for breakfast the next morning.
Age 27
The Adulterer
We hooked up in the bathroom of a comedy club and saw each other for a few weeks. One night, we were on a date at a bar, and when we went outside, they spotted someone they knew across the street and pushed me into the bushes. It turned out they had a girlfriend.
Age 28
The Good Friend
We were good friends and tried dating for about 2 weeks, but it was clear we were only meant to be friends. He broke up with me in a mall food court with a mouth full of Popeyes.
Age 30
The Australian
We met at a friend's destination wedding in Italy when we accidentally got separated from the group on a daytrip in Florence and were stuck together for the day. Yes, it was like a romantic comedy, just with worse jokes and better chemistry. He's now my husband and and the only person I'd willingly get lost with again.
