I bring this up due to something that happened to me the other night. I was hanging out with this girl that I am friends with. I'm not super attracted to her (she's not ugly by any means, in fact kind of cute... just not my particular type... any time I left, she was getting hit on non-stop).

I wound up making out with her through out the night, but I don't feel great about it, since I realize that it was more for validation than anything else (been through a dry spell as of late). I realize that's the ego talking, but is it ever OK to lower your standards? What is your take and how do you deal with it?

I almost feel like it was necessary to get me out of this funk i've been in, but at the same time feel like the reasons for it weren't good (although yes, I do enjoy making out as much as the next person).
