Fact or Fiction

Round #2: Choices
"The Lights Go Down..."
Teenage girl and guyKC shrugs and grabs another beer. Someone has turned off most of the lights in the den. The music has changed. It's slower. KC pulls you close. You can't believe you're dancing in KC's arms - it's something you've dreamed about. The crowd is thinning out. You have no idea what time it is.

A couple leave the couch and head up stairs. KC reaches for another beer and then pulls you down on the couch. Those black eyes dance in the dim light. KC pulls you close and kisses you. Soft little kisses at first, and then harder and deeper.

KC kisses your neck and touches you softly at first and then caresses you rhythmically. It feels so good being here with KC - beyond what you'd even dreamed it might be like!

Things are definitely going fast here ... what should you do?

A. Kiss and caress KC back! Let that great feeling wash over you ...

Careful here ... don't make a decision you'll regret in the morning! There's lots of ways to show someone that you care about them or "make love" without having actual sexual contact. You can review these HERE. But wait just a second ... those are ways to "make love". This is your first time with KC. It's a party with lots of people and lots of things that can contribute to bad decisions. You've wanted to go out with KC, but you really don't love KC. Do you think KC really cares about YOU?

Maybe you should rethink things!

B. Gently stop KC. There's others around. Suggest that you go find some privacy ...

C. Gently stop KC. It's late and you need to make curfew. Ask if KC needs a ride ...

GREAT DECISION! Things are going way too fast here. KC obviously has had some beer and may not even know who you are in the morning. It's not like you came to the party with KC. Making curfew or getting grounded are always a "safe" excuses.

Review some other "safe" excuses to help you get out of tough situations!
