NEED ADVICE

Just a little about me as preface: I’m a 16 y/o girl and I had my first kiss last summer with one of my best friends and since then I have done some exploring. Some hookups good, others bad, some with girls, some with guys. I’m a relatively submissive person and normally don’t make first moves but lately I have been trying to go out of my comfort zone.

Me and this guy (we will call him S) have known each other since we were kids. Growing up things were always kind of flirty but never went anywhere. These past few weeks we have been talking a little more and last night, I kissed him. But here’s where we start running into issues: later last night he was seen kissing another girl (we will call her M). S played it off like nothing had happened with M and continued to talk to me this morning. I confronted him saying that other people saw the what happened and that I wasn’t trying to get played and that he should just tell it to me straight. He explained to me that M was leading that situation and that he regrets it and that he’s not trying to pursue M. He also told me that he likes me and his ex (I don’t know her name). I told him that when he’s knows what he wants he should hmu and we can see if things feel right but that he needs to make a decision and not be upset if the other person isn’t there whenever he is ready for them.

So even if he picks me or whatever, I’m not sure I want a relationship (with S or in general). I think this new found adventurous side wants to be explored but I don’t want to be considered a whore for hooking up with lots of

people. I know I’m young and this is the time to explore but I’m still a teenage girl and I still know how it looks to everyone else to be “adventurous”.

I want advice on what I should do about S and the adventure problem.
