Drunken Desperation or True Feelings?
The other day I was a little drunk, so I ended up staying the night in a freshman’s bed, and we played around a lot.
But I’m really worried that I went there out of desperation, because he really likes me, but I’m more interested in another guy who is 100% out of bounds.
I’m really worried that this freshman wants a serious relationship that involves sex, which I refuse to partake in until marriage, but I’m constantly wondering if any feelings I have for him are out of my fear that I’ll never find ‘the one’.
Do I stay in a hidden relationship with him, or do I move on and break his heart?

Dear Stephaad,
I think you need to be honest with this guy. If you learn to approach all your relationships with honesty then you will save both yourself and others a lot of unneeded pain and misery. Just explain how you feel to this guy before he gets too involved. Guys usually have a tendency to be a little less emotionally attached anyway, so he might not be as serious as you think.
Also, I know you’re in college and this is supposed to be a fun time in your life, but I would caution you about watching how much you drink. You can also save yourself a lot of drama by not making poor decisions based on a drunken state. Have fun, but keep in mind that in this life we are accountable for our actions and those actions can bring good fruit into our lives or they can bring drama.
Kindest regards,
Ted
