Response to virginia_fell and raven_moon
I don't post on LJ very often anymore, but I received a few comments today regarding a post I made several months ago. In this post, I was waxing poetic about how things are going so well with Anni, and I also mentioned some times when things were not so great in my life, when I would go out to the bars and try to hit on women. I am not proud of those days, and somewhat ashamed of my behavior.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I did not get anyone drunk for the purpose of taking advantage of them and having sex.
Truth be told, in the vast majority of times I went out drinking, I struck out. I rarely even got a kiss out of the evening, and on the one (ONE!) occasion I brought someone home, it was after we had seen each other a number of times before, and while I don't deny that we had both been drinking, what happend was between two consenting adults who were both sober enough to know what they were doing.
It bothers me that I feel I have to explain my actions, particularly when those days are long behind me now. I am in a loving, monogamous relationship now. Anni knows my past, and knows that it is not a life I ever want to return to.
To virgina_fell and raven_moon: first off, I'm surprised that you commented on this post over four months after I wrote it. Second, anyone who knows me can tell you that I am not the sort of person to take advantage of a woman who is clearly too drunk to think clearly.
Finally, and this is the last thing I will say on this matter, I hope that nothing like that ever happened to you, or ever will.
End of story. Good night.
