Hello,
I have a problem, but I don't know what to do about it. I have a very good friend, we know each other since I was a child, he is practically like a brother, we grew up together (neighbors, later our contact loosened up a bit, because we went to study in different cities, but we generally met when he and I were in our hometown ), a really cool boy, but at the last party he drank a little too much and got loose.
He confided in me that he had never had a girlfriend, that he was a virgin, that he did not want to continue living, his life was leaking through his fingers, he did not want to be alone all the time, etc ...
I must admit that it surprised me a lot, maybe not that there is no girlfriend, but the fact that it bothers him so much, because he had never mentioned anything about it before, and certainly not so "desperately".
The next day he came to apologize to me and ask me not to tell anyone about it. I tried to talk to him calmly but he was confused and embarrassed so he left quickly and hasn't spoken since then.
As for my friend, he's 25 and I think he's a really great guy. I've known him for years and the only drawback I notice in him is that he is too shy and quiet, at least with people he doesn't know well. Besides, he's a great party, he's very handsome, well-educated, intelligent, has a great job. Many of my friends would love to meet him ... but here the question arises: should I? He asked me to forget about that evening and never mention it to anyone. But I can't forget it. Of course, I will not tell anyone anything, but this whole thing is bothering me. Should I help him? The only thing that comes to mind is to "bind" him with one of my friends, it would not be a problem, because as she wrote, he lacks nothing but more self-confidence. What should I do? I'd really like to help him, but I don't really know how. Please advise something.
thanks
