Bc of the pandemic I had not really spoken to people and I was feeling incredibly lonely. I download the equivalent of the BUMBLE BFF app but it is an app that lets you learn languages and meet people from the area and you can both learn from each other. A person who I met on this app ended up becoming a consistent guy friend; he was very kind and I told him repeatedly that my only intention was to be friends, and he was thrilled about this too, he wanted to learn English and I wanted to learn Korean.
So we had Facetimed and talked on the phone always talking about dumb stuff, and never did i ever flirt with this guy at all, I treated him how I would treat a guy friend; I am , as a friend, very silly and like to make jokes and with this person I had no problem doing that, in no moment did the conversation ever get past that. We didnt really speak every single day but we wanted to finally meet up . Fast forward to this past week where I invited him to my new apartment; he had been wanting to see it and the plan was to eat, drink, and watch videos and just be dumb .
I drank soju, and here is the main problem I have had with soju; I am not by any means a heavy drinker; and never in my entire life had I been blackout drunk. My go to drink is a gin and tonic but Ill have maybe two and end it at that, my fave drink is a white claw for crying out loud. I have only maybe had up to two sojus before starting to feel a certain way. This night we both drank close to 4 bottles...
I remember sitting on the couch with this person and we were watching music videos and being stupid, giggling like idiots. Before this we ate and talked , again about stupid stuff, where I told jokes and was being my usual silly self. I only remember leaning my head on his shoulder bc me being tipsy needed to well, not fall or anything. The details that happened after that I can swear on the bible I dont remember at all. Throughtout the course of the night I remember finally gaining "consciousness" the last two hours he was there, gaining consciousness as I was kissing him and proceeding to , well, cuddle and other stuff. Wether we actually had sex, those details are severely hazy. He then left and I had kissed him again, and during this frame time I was coming out of this drunkenness but I still felt tipsy. When Im tipsy I literally go along with anything, and this person wanted to kiss me again, and I did so.
The next morning I woke up and felt severly disgusting. I called my boyfriend and didnt outright tell him, but after speaking to both my sister and sibling, I decided to hold off until I could get the full story of what happened that night. I ended up contacting this person and telling him that , first and foremost, something like that could never happen again, and I was willing to listen to his side of the story. He told me we didnt have sex, that we tried and ultimately didnt do it. I did believe him bc I remember one of the details was me talking to him about how I couldnt have sex bc I felt my body was too gross and I was still a virgin before any of this. He assured me I was still a virgin, and he told me he wanted to meet up that week to have that conversation face to face, and after that I would decide wether or not to cut off contact with this person.
What I knew is that 1) I drank the soju way too fast and didnt think this would happen which yes I will blame on myself.2) If I decide to maintain a friendship with this person I would never drink again, because I myself cannot trust myself to do that, but again I dont know wether I will maintain any contact or not. He told me we were both impulsive and that the "initiation" of this whole thing started when I rested my head on his shoulder, and this led to us becoming more physically intimate. He told me he was willing to respect my rule of boundaries and he promised it would happen, but again thats a decision I will have to take on my own.
As for telling my bf, I will plan on telling him but first I need to speak to both my therapist and the other person, and go from there. I am not proud of the decisions made that night and regardless of me being drunk I know I still did it. I am willing to face that consequence and go from there.
