How bad is this?

The other night I went out clubbing and pulled a guy from my course in the year above me. He was quite drunk, but I wasn't. After a while I realised my friend had gone home without telling me, so he and I walked home from the club. We walked about two miles, then I caught a taxi the rest of the way home because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get rid of him if he walked me all the way home and I didn't want him to stay the night. On the way home we kissed a lot more and he kept saying he liked me.

The issue is this. I have a friend on my course who likes him. I knew she liked him, and I pulled him anyway. I don't want it to go any further and I'd rather she didn't find out. I haven't known her very long, but she's really nice and it's more important to me to be friends with her than to have a fling with him. But have I been really horrible? :frown: What should I do? Should I just keep quiet about it and hope she never finds out?

depends on likelihood of her finding out. if quite likely from one of his friends or something then tell her. apologise, say you still want to be friends. better to hear it from you if she's that obsessed with him. but if she has no chance of finding out from him or anyone else then leave it. it also depends on whether she has a huge crush on him or just thinks he's hot.

I'm not sure how much she likes him, but he definitely has no idea she does.

well i still reckon it all boils down to whether she's likely to find out. cos obviously if she does and she really likes him, then you're screwed. but otherwise just leave it alone. to be honest she has a right to be jealous or something, but why not just say she likes him instead of all this faffing around not doing anything.

Is it the same girl that went home without you from the club? lol

Maybe she got an eyeful at the club that pretty much spelled it out :p:

No, different girl. The girl who likes him was at home revising for her classics exam. :frown:

It wasn't the nicest thing to do but it isn't awful, you could have done far worse. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it, but if you see/talk to the guy again I'd make it clear that it was a one off and you're not interested.
