Tonight I am feeling sad and regret because I had indulge into temptation; three times in December I gave into self-gratification as a means to relieve me from stress, and on most part into giving in to lust for a woman I went out with. Another issue that is troubling me is when visiting a friend for post Christmas dinner, she started asking me about my dating life and if I have been following her advice in how to win a woman’s interest by simply asking her questions and not trying to get on with her. I assured her that I have been keeping things respectable with my date as well as not trying to lure myself into any complex situations involving s**. In a bold move, I showed her that I carry protection in my wallet just in case I somehow wind up being physically romantic with a woman, and this shocked her completely. To me on the other hand; I was being honest and vunerable with my friend in showing that I am taking certain measures when I am out with a woman even if the chances of me having s** are 100 to 1 shot. I guess all of us have to be honest and do what is in our best interest to finding love in this messy world, but I am not giving up and I am going to try harder to find that certain someone. Thanks for reading my confession and have a happy new year.
