A married man I've know a long time as part of a friendship group. We get along but aren't "close" and I've never been out on my own with him, although he lives near me, so we often make our way home together.
At the end of a particularly boozy evening (a tale as old as time) we were staggering home, up the very steep hill and somehow ended up arm in arm. I couldn't tell you who initiated that, but it felt natural and neither of us stopped it. Neither of us is usually very touchy, but I know I can be more so when I've had a drink.
The hill is steep and we were walking sideways, we ended up holding hands. Again no idea how that happened. Stopped at the lights to cross the road and he put both arms round me and kissed the top of my head. Now, I realise now it sounds ridiculous, but at the time, in my head, this was just a comfortable, friendly, almost brotherly thing while we propped each other up. I still hadn't cottoned on.
Then when we got to where we seperate, he moved in to kiss me properly. I was shocked pushed him away before anything had actually happened and he was very apologetic, took full responsibility.
I'm going out with the group again tomorrow. I will not be drinking like that again (do it very rarely anyway) is there any hope we can just carry on like it never happened?
FWIW we've been socialising like this for at least 5 years and he's never given me any concerns at all before. I genuinely don't know who started with the first "touch".
