We matched a few days ago and he took me to a nice Italian restaurant last night and paid for dinner, drinks, dessert. He’s handsome, smart, we talked for hours and it felt like minutes. He has a stable well-paying job and his own place at age 21. But I had one too many drinks (first mistake) and I didn’t feel safe to drive home yet, so he took me back to his place to hang out for a bit after just so I could sober up. It was actually my idea because I’m an introvert and wanted to keep spending time with him but didn’t wanna stay out. We ended up having sex (second mistake), and then we cuddled and I opened up about my mental health (third mistake), which is usually not appropriate for a first date. I woke up this morning expecting him to not talk to me again.

But we’re still talking and flirting. It’s 1:30 am and he invited me to come over and cuddle and spend the night. I wanted to, but out of respect for myself and not wanting to be a late night fuck toy, I told him I’m too tired.

I was way too vulnerable way too early and I’m not sure if I can redeem myself, but he still seems interested and I’m definitely interested in him. Any advice on where to proceed from here?
