Answer 1

I know you feel guilty about this but you did nothing wrong you were scared. I have been in the situation of the other girl. Next time if this happens don't punch him he can charge you with assault. But I would speak up. Other people will follow. We need to stop the sexual assaults and put men back in place. Try not to dwell on the past. Just learn from the mistake and move on. At least next time you will have the courage to stand up to him and any other man who tries this.  Not all men are bad but be cautious of the ones who are. Your gut feeling will tell you. listen to it.  Take care and have a Happy New Year. Why didn't the girl say something. was she young too?

Hello.

If she didn't say anything, then maybe she didn't mind. VVas she avvare vvhat he vvas trying to do, or vvas he being sneaky? If he vvas, then you should have asked him vvhat vvas trying to do. Did they knovv each other? Maybe they vvere together. You did no vvrong.

Take care.

To be avvare is to be alive.
