Last week something happened that I can’t stop thinking about, and I’d love some outside perspectives.
I (20s F) have become close friends with a coworker (40s F, single). We get along incredibly well — we’ve traveled together, go out for drinks, party together, all very fun and friendly.
At a colleague’s leaving party on Friday, we both got very drunk. We ended up being the last two in our group, went to another bar, danced, hugged, the usual drunk friendliness… but then things escalated.
While we were dancing, she hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek for the first time. Then she was touching my waist/arms and kissed my neck. I didn’t pull away, and honestly didn’t feel uncomfortable in the moment.
I ended up hugging her from behind as well, kissing her neck, shoulder and lips then, we full-on made out for about 10 minutes before heading home separately. She was heavily drunk, I was heavily drunk, and at the time it all just felt like part of the fun night.
Now she’s away this week, and the more I think about it, the more embarrassed and unsure I feel. I don’t regret it exactly, but I didn’t see it coming, and I don’t know if I should acknowledge it when she’s back or just act normal and move on.
Would appreciate any thoughts!
