Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Finding out the guy I'm talking to is close friends with my hookup

So I've been texting this guy for a while now, we have all similar interests and mutual friends and I've never found someone this similar to me, HOWEVER at a party I hooked up with a different guy and after we texted for a few days before gossip was spread and it all went wrong (he unfollowed me on instagram and stopped talking to me)

So I find out that they're really good friends but the guy I've been texting is somehow unaware that I had sex with his friend because I think the guy I had sex with is a private person (he didn't even try to resolve stuff just ignored me).

I'm just scared that I'll meet the guy I've been texting at some point maybe at a party and he will be with his friend who I slept with. How the hell am I gonna play that one out? It's not like his friend is an ex of mine we literally spoke for a few days after hooking up but obviously friends will believe what their friends tell them and hes gonna tell him that I'm a psycho to avoid.

Do you think he will have any understanding if he finds out? How am I gonna hang out with him if I hooked up with his friend who will most likely be around? I know I shouldn't talk to him but for once I've found someone I get along with so well
