I had been a virgin until a month ago, and have had successes with girls. I had been getting hook ups and I was telling my friends about how I hooked up with so and so. However, I found a girl I might want to get into a relationship with and I was so happy I told my friends about how I kissed her and she was attracted to me. The thing is, I regret ever those stories. It felt good to brag to my friends, but in doing so, I wasn't being discrete and done or later this is going to cone back and bite me in the ass.

How do I stop myself from wanting to brag to my friends about my experiences? I've already made the mistake of bragging to one of my friends that is a girl, and I'm worried she'll tell the girl. It's too late to take it back, but now I realize that in the future I'll have to control my validation seeking.
