Question
i had met this guy about a week ago, and just recently we hooked up, and it led to having sex, which was my first time. i wasn't that upset that it was my first time with someone who wasn't my boyfriend, but i am worrying that it is going to be really awkward the next time i see him. i want to talk to him about it, and tell him that i am not looking for a realtionship, and that i just want to be friends, but i am so scared to go up to him. what if he wants nothing to do with me? and what if he tells alot of people about what happened, it would destroy my reputation. should i talk to him, or just pretend like nothing happened?
Answer
I am a little curious about why you did not think about these things before you hooked up with this guy. Now, I am sorry to say, you really cannot control what he says about you. You can approach him if you want to be friends, but he may assume you want to have sex again, which is the only "relationship" he has with you. Unless this is someone you will need to interact with, it may be better to move on.
