Hi knowlegeispower,

The trouble with sex is everyone pretends to be cool about it. Here’s the thing: NO ONE is actually cool about it! Not you. And no, not even him.

It’s going to be awkward around Christmas. I’m not going to lie. Him not responding to you is only making it worse. You reaching out to him is only making it worse. This is not two cool people who had sex (one for the first time) and are cool about it (remember, no one is actually cool about it!). This is a Pit of Awkwardness.

I advise you say, “Hi Simon (or whatever his name is).” And say it in a one part questioning, one part “Are you OK?” and one part “Why are you not cool with this” tone. Greet him as if his name really was Simon. Then sit down in class and have HIM come to YOU.

And lastly, make a vow TO YOURSELF that you will ONLY have sex after you are in an established loving relationship.

You are worth so much more than this.

Best,

Inky
