Don’t repeat drunken new year’s mistake

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I did something bad at a New Year’s Eve party when I was drunk — I gave somebody I know money for sex. She said she had a “low on the rent” problem. She wanted me to do something with her in an upstairs bedroom at the party for $50, so I drunkenly went for it. (She had a condom.) I am from a good Catholic-school background and know what I did was wrong, and it put her in a bad place in my mind. I’m not going to ask for the money back, and I can’t take the sex thing back, so what should I do? I don’t want to confess to a priest — I haven’t been to confession in years — so what should I do?

Dear Dirty Guy: This is not something you can take back, but you can send up your own prayer, promise not to do it again and put more effort into finding a real relationship of your own that is warm and sexual.

Consider it a wake-up call. You weren’t born to be a carefree bad boy and you need to do things in a way where you can respect yourself. Cut back on the drinking when you’re out socially and it will help to keep you on the straight and narrow.
