You are absolutely the asshole here.. not only did you basically tell her she wasn't a "beautiful" girl, but you said it in front of a group of people. I wouldn't bet on her being ok with this anytime soon, or if ever. I understand you were intoxicated but that's no excuse. She will never believe you if you tell her you think she's is beautiful again... Sorry, but you absolutely fucked up in a major way. It's going to take a lot more than I'm sorry or a thing of flowers to make this better..

Was a virgin until around 24. I had planned to wait until marriage, but I threw caution to the wind with a girl I was serious about. It was very fast.

We continued dating and married. We’re still going strong with 3 kids.

OP, you didn’t fail as a man, and your friends are jerks. You will be fine when the time is right.

I don’t know, this is one of those questions that keeps me up at night, I like to think it’s nice feeling, like happiness, but deeper and more concentrated.

I can only speculate and wonder as to what it’s like, as can many others, It truly is a sad world we live in more-so for some than others but that’s just how it is.

What is love though? Is it something we all deserve? Or is it meant only for a few? I would say that I hope it’s for all of us to enjoy, but I don’t believe that’s the case.

Does it only exist because we all collectively believe it does? Is it nothing more than a social construct that gets its hooks too deep into our minds and emotions?

What a question, “what is love?” I’m not sure what it is, but hopefully one day I have my answer.
