    last night I was at a friend's house with her and two other friends. we were having a good time, I'd had a few drinks and usual I was all relaxed and happy with everyone. me and one of my friends were sat on a sofa and were all cuddling and stuff.

    Now I should make it clear that, while I do find her attractive and she is one of my closest friends, she is a no-go. She has been in a relationship with one of my friends for about 2 years. after a while we were getting more drunk (but not so drunk that I wasn't in control of myself) and when the two other friends left the room for a bit we kissed. unfortunately it wasn't just a quick thing we could brush off because it happened several times and I certainly made no attempt to stop it. I was thinking at the time that it was wrong, that I should stop and just make a joke out of it (and to be honest it was just a bit of fun between close friends).

    This morning (I slept alone by the way :D) things were a little awkward which I later found out was because she was feeling guilty about her boyfriend. Both of us are well aware that it meant nothing and we are just good friends who are comfortable in each others company. however, she felt that she had to tell her boyfriend what happened. she told a variation of the truth that made it seem like an accident and he accepted it now. the thing is, I like the guy a lot and even though it was just a kiss and meant nothing, I don't think I'm going to be able to look him in the eye from now on knowing that we are both kind of lying to him. at the same time, I can't now tell the actual truth because that will make it seem like it was a big enough deal to have to cover it up. I don't really know what to do. any advice?

    No big deal buddy. Find yourself a girlfriend and stop kissing someone else's..

    Maybe you should apologize to him personally & let him know that it wasn't a big deal to you & that you don't have any designs on his girl....?

    That sucks. I was in a similar situation but i cut it off before we kissed thankfully.

    don't know what to tell ya man that is tough. In my situation we never talked about it and pretended like it never happened.

    thats very helpful. thanks a bunch.

    My lack of a girlfriend was really not a factor in this. it was more being very close to someone and getting into a situation where neither of us was completely in charge of ourselves.

    well I told her to say that to him but I think she is just going to leave it as it is... which is fine other than the fact that I DO still feel guilty as hell, not because it meant anything but because they are both important to me and I woud hate to cause any problems between them.

    What is the sense of telling him if she wasn't going to tell the truth???

    show this to him^

    she thinks that he might be upset by it and since it really meant nothing she thinks it would be stupid to cause problems because of it. she didn't exactly lie to him, just told him that she went to kiss me on the cheek, missed and then, because we were drunk, we kissed.

    Well thats absolutely not what I want. I'm not so selfish that I'd rather he was pissed and I had a clear conscience. I brought this on myself. I just wish I'd thought about it :)

    Get him a present - like a good $20-$30 present of something he'd really like. When he asks was it's for, say you're feeling really sorry for kissing his girlfriend, and don't know what to do about it. He'll probably understand that you're really trying to make amends, even more than just quick words.

    See the problem I have with this is if she is not going to tell the truth the only reason to tell him at all is to make herself feel better about it and that is pretty selfish in my book.

    how is it not the truth? it sounds like she told him it was harmless and you say it was harmless. it was only a kiss, dont beat yourself up over it.

    new year's eve a few years ago i took some lsd and down about a dozen shots of vodka, all while smoking copius amounts of pot. i had a gf who was out of town. i met a girl at a party, gave her a fake name, took her to my gf's apt so she couldnt find me later, and fucked her on the couch before dropping her back off at the party. i didnt even know her name and i never said a word about it to my gf. this is one of my milder regrets.

    so yeah, we've all done things we regret while wasted. if this is the worst you ever do, consider yourself lucky.

    It is a selfish act, yes, but it is the best thing to do if your friends with both parties. If there love ( or whereever they are in their relationship) is strong enough then they'll be fine and so will you. If not, then you and your friend fucked up and you probably need to have a little ( and by little i mean long) discussion. But hey what do i know. Good luck though.

    I might drink too much...but it's all fun! :)

    yes.. I got behind the wheel of my 4x4 truck with my best friend in the passenger seat after I had been out drinking the night before.. this was at 6am.. thought I was sober enough... she was sleeping in the passenger seat.. I fell asleep at the wheel, when I woke up we were heading for a telephone pole... I over corrected the steering wheel and we went off a cliff on the other side of the road.................................... :(
