Question Posted Saturday November 6 2010, 11:09 am
Ok, so me and this guy, we'll call him Bob, have become pretty close. He hasn't asked me to officially be his yet, but it's at that point where we might as well be. Well, the other night, I got kinda drunk, and I ended up kissing a long-time friend who's been crushin on me the whole time we've known each other. Actually, it was more like make-out. Afterwards, I felt really guilty, and he reminded me that I am still technically single. When I told my best friend, she yelled at me and told me that I did cheat. Now, I feel kind of guilty and kind of not. I don't wanna tell Bob, but I also don't wanna screw up a potentially really good relationship. Advice on what I should do?
As he has not asked you out yet, I suppose you didn't cheat. But you still feel guilty. In my opinon you did nothing wrong. You made a mistake and you realised what you did was wrong. That's good.
If you continue feeling guilty, you should come clean. See what he thinks.

I imagine how you probably felt but you can't feel bad over something like that if your not even dating each other. [ Crystalysesmommy's advice column | Ask Crystalysesmommy A Question ]

You don't have to tell him, it's not something he needs to know because you guys aren't dating right? You can tell him, he probably will be upset, but you can't say you cheated. You didn't.

which means, you can do what you want. bob can get upset, because he likes you, but he cant get mad because he never made it official, and neither did you, yuh know ?
your friend really has no right to be telling you that you cheated.. because you didnt, at all. you just feel guilty because your friend is MAKING you feel guilty.
and actually, this would be a great oppurtunity to talk to bob about being official. you could be like, "look, i wanted to tell you that i was hanging out with an old friend and we kissed, but i feel so bad about it because i really like you and i want to know if this "thing" with us is going anywhere because im so confused."
.. or something along those lines. yuh know ?
and if you dont want to take that route and you just dont want to tell him all together, than dont. you didnt do anything wrong. so dont listen to anyone else :]
good luck, hope i helped, and stay stellar, xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
