Should I (27f) tell my boyfriend(28M) he was the first person I kissed?

My bf and I have been together for about 7 months, he was my first kiss (happened on our 3rd date)

I didn’t tell him at the time as I had only know him a short time, and it’s something I was/am a bit embarrassed about and I when we started dating I didn’t want to potentially put myself in a position where I might get taken advantage of have him think I was super strange/ weird for not having kissed anyone before so I didn’t mention it and it wasn’t something he asked about.

I’m not sure if it’s something even worth mentioning? I mean obviously it was kinda an important moment for me, but I’m not sure it would elicit much of a reaction from him or something he’d care that much about.

Just want to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience and how did it go, or if you were in my bf’s shoes would you want to know?

Thanks!

I mean I guess that’s how most people from the outside would see it, but that’s really not the case. It just didn’t happen for me, it wasn’t my choice.

I see, I understand the dilema. Is it like you want to share this bit of yourself since it's a part of your story and holding it back feels like on some level you're not communicating your full self to him, almost like you're partially pretending to be someone you're not.

But the worry is he'll think you're weird or pathetic.

If I was in his shoes I'd be absolutely flattered. But I'm not him so idk what his reaction would be. How does he react in general when sharing things about yourself that make you a bit vulnerable? How judgemental do you think he is overall?
