Search Results: caring while drunk

I'm military. I went home for my dad's memorial and ended up getting really drunk. My sister and my mom were both pretty trashed too. At one point during the party my sister dared me to kiss a guy she called Aaron. I took the dare. The guy was not drinking at all, I ended up fully clothed in the pool, even wearing my boots, pulled him off the ladder, wrapped my legs around him, and kissed him, for a while, in front of my family...

Strange thing is, my family was happy about it and talked him up to me, I've never done that before, and I'm not promiscuous ever, but this time was different with him. The next morning there was a guy (Erik) who had stayed on the couch next to me and cared for me the entire night, I asked my relatives who Aaron was, terrified that I had destroyed a relationship because of what I had done (I remembered someone saying Aaron's girlfriend) and my family asked why so I told them. The guy who cared for me (Erik) put his head down and said "well the guy you made out with was named Erik."

After that, my entire family assured me Erik is a good guy, something I'm not used too. He's my younger sisters boyfriend's (of 8 years) best friend and he's 21... Im 25, with close birthdays. I had to leave the country and get back to work again, leaving everyone behind again as always, without really saying anything to him because he had 2 go 2 work.

I'm intrigued, and I actually really like this guy. I'm not used to having someone around who just cares for me and doesn't try anything, even after how I acted. I can't contact him any way other than through my family, so I want to know. If any of you were in this situation what would you be thinking? Would you be content with just a random moment, even after a destroyed ego? It would be difficult but doable to just to get to know him more, but I don't want to make things awkward for him, after thinking he was someone else, and having him know that it all started as a dare.
