Is it okay that he liked me first?

Asked by clairedete (331points) April 17th, 2008

The guy that I’m currently seeing you could say has been sort of a mutual friend for a long time but, recently it’s turned into more. A while ago I started hearing that he liked me and turns out he’s kind of smitten.. I didn’t really think anything of it at first but then one night the inevitable drunk hook-up happened & that sparked everything. I really do like him now but I feel bad that this whole thing started from me being wasted. He’s an amazing guy and would give me the world. Should I not feel guilty?

love = love, some people form a relatuinship from being stuck in an elevator (sorry shockvalue) or from just ordering the same drink, so don’t worry, go forth and copulate!

I don’t think you have anything to feel guity about. It’s understandable to feel awkward because the two of you have “crossed that line” into something new and different from wht was your prior relarionship. Just be careful that you aren’t mistaking love for lust because of your encounter with him.

But you already cared deeply for him, so I say go with it and enjoy it. have the two of you talked about this? Does he feel awkward too?

@iwamoto, lol at love in an elevator! now I have that song stuck in my head again!

it just took you awhile to understand your feelings about what you wanted

bah don’t feel guilty. just go ahead with the relationship and see where it takes you.

One of you had to like the other “first.” But what matters is that you both like each other NOW!

Someone’s gotta take the first step…...whether alcohol induced or not, if you both like each other and want to be together now, does it really matter how you got to this point? I’d say where you go from here is probably more interesting.

…with a uniquely inverted face (hey are those my beer goggles?), and clouded judgment, what’s not to like?!?

Seriously, don’t worry about it, what matters is that you’re both on the same level about how you feel right now.

Learn from the past, but live in the present, and never give up your dreams of the future…

I typed something and then read what sndfreQ just wrote. Which is exactly what I had to contribute. Read that one again. ;-)

No, sometimes it just takes a little longerto see something in a person.Just go for it and make the best from it. Make him happy and don’t waste your time feeling guilty.
