I kissed a one of my friend's friends last night and he just started seeing someone new. They aren't together, but I still felt bad about it because she was passed out in another room. I guess it was because I was drunk and so was he, but he kissed me back and said he was attracted to me and so on and how it wasn't serious with her. Before we kissed I felt weird about telling him I liked him and was getting emotional about a lot of things-probably from the alcohol. I remember crying and him wiping away my tears and hugging him. That's when I kissed him. I guess it was a combination of the fact I just broke up with my ex fiance 3 months ago and how I was drinking and didn't really want to-but the girl he is dating was pressuring me to drink earlier in the night and I did it.

I was mad at myself for drinking because I usually don't do that and he was saying I was being too hard on myself. Anyway, it felt so right kissing him. But then later he was telling me how we probably made a mistake because the girl he was dating was in the other room-his room. He said we could be friends and we exchanged numbers.

Well, I couldn't sleep and kept trying to talk to him but didn't really know why. The thing is my friend tried to set us up at her wedding 2 years ago but I was standoffish (his words). I guess at the time he was just such a nice guy and wasn't really making a move. I guess I'm just used to guys treating me like crap, so wasn't super attracted to him at the time.

Well, I told him all this, and my friend told him that maybe I was just attracted to him all of a sudden because he wasn't available. I don't know, but I'm just kicking myself because now it's too late. But, he said that if he weren't dating her he would date me, and things between them aren't serious. I'd hate to get in the middle of anything. Well, he said he would want to get to know me- and what better way to start than being friends- his words. I left in the morning without saying goodbye, so I called him and left a message this afternoon saying I was sorry about everything and thanked him for having us over. I said I would talk to him later, but I never asked him to call me. It's been about 4 hours and I haven't heard from him. I know I barely know him, but what is going on? What do I do? I really like him and I'm totally over my ex and feel it would be okay to date now, but now he is dating her!

A female reader, anonymous, writes (2 January 2008):

You are reacting very strongly to someone you just met. Only 4 hours and you are hanging every hope on him. I don't think you are really over your last relationship. Don't get involved with anyone until you feel stronger, and especially not with someone who is going out with someone else. You could be the other person and, as the other person has just said to you, how would you feel?

Never a good thing to help someone cheat on their partner.You always have to imagine if you were the victim,how you would feel.Be friends for now and give it some time.I'm sure with time,you'll see what happens.

Take care
