Drunken Confusion

[MrPinnick17]

I'm usually good at figuring out my own problems but with this one I'm at a loss.

I hit up a party with some of my friends on Sunday. I had a bit to drink but not much. There was this other guy I go to school with named Sam who was completely trashed and asked me to drive him home. I did, helped him into his basement and chilled with him for a little bit. I was gonna call my friends and leave but he said it was alright if I stayed the night so I did. We're kinda just watching tv and we start talking about girls and out of no where he starts kissing me.

Now I'm alright with a little bit of experimentation but he was drunk and I didn't want to do something I would regreat later so I pushed him off of me a little harder than I intended.

To wrap it up he got mad and kicked me out, I ended up having to call my friend to come and pick me up and come up with an excuse to why I was even over here in the first place.

I wanna talk to Sam and tell him that I'm not mad about anything that happened but I don't know how becuase we all do stuff we don't mean to when we're drunk. I mean do I call the guy and ask how he's doing or what? It's just an awkward situation that I want resolved.

I'll ignore your friend's name here for obvious reasons (although I find it hard to believe that anyone with that particular name is so impulsive).

OK, your confusion at the awkwardness here is understandable. But, your response should be based more on the history you have with him, rather than his, erm, errant behavior Sunday.

So, since i get the impression that you and he have a fairly nice pretty reasonable friendship, and this behavior is really out of character for him, then I'd say your approach of calling to check in is the right way to go. See what he says, and if he says nothing, say something to acknowledge (and dismiss) the abberant behavior, like : "WOW, you were really out of it last night, I'm glad you're better!". Then be done with it.

People make mistakes, things are done under the influence, and on the whole, as long as those behaviors are not typical or habitual, it's best to help both them and yousrelf get past the awkwardness of the moment ASAP by acknowledging it and moving on.

Thanks dogg-- That's exactly what I needed a way to bring up the subject casually. Nice! Don't worry about the whole name thing, ha I'll disregard it to. Just so you know I know a few other people named sam and their great, and now your living up to the standard? I dunno how bad I worded that.
