Hi, just like many of you I've been on the path of self-betterment, all that jazz. It's gotten to the point where I'm actually more than satisfied with my dating life, with who I am and what I stand for.

I've always had one specific rule. Never kiss or sleep with a woman just because you can. Meaning that there either has to be a spark from my side or we must mutually agree or make it clear that it's just a hookup. I somehow managed to break that rule and I feel like shit.

Since I've never been in such a situation, could someone give me any advice on how to proceed? To give some more insight in my situation. I like the girl. She has good humor and is fun to talk to, but I just don't see her as a possible SO, and it's highly likely that she does feel that way about me. Or would like to try to let the situation evolve in that direction. And now you may laugh at this part, but I didn't sleep with her. We made out and during the rest of the evening I was way to 'lovey dovey' with her, giving her the impression that I also had feelings for her. I don't know why. It felt fun, but it made feel like a scumbag afterwards.

Any advice is welcome and thank you for those of you taking the time to respond.
