I don't think you were wrong for initially keeping them as friends, just like she also wasn't in the wrong for being uncomfortable with it. It's a matter of personal boundaries, and that's where honesty and communication come in which is what you lacked. I also hope you know that there's plenty of wonderful people in the world that won't be put off by stuff like that, even though your choice of not putting Sabrina or any future partners in that position is also perfectly valid.

She got tired of hearing you talk nonsense about sex. She continued the hj to defuse you so she didn't have to disappoint you or have sex with you. It was the easiest way to get you out of the door. Mr. Alpha left the building.

The best advice is to move on and grow up.

By your age, this same damn thing has happened to almost every guy on Earth. It’s a funny story. It’s normal.

If you REALLY like her, just drop a line and don’t bring it up at all.

But trying to appear to be an “alpha” is just holding you back in your growth as a man. Get over that and then you’ll be ready for what comes after the HJ

You fucked up when you decided deception was your best move. That is the most weak thing about this, other than your desire to be “alpha”. If you want a strong sense of character then fucking accept yourself where you’re at and look for ways to improve. How about next time you just be honest? That’s the braver choice always.

She wants to give you a hj, and that might even be her kink. She might not fuck strangers right after meeting them. When you’re vibing with someone you’re interested in, just enjoy the ride and do what makes both of you happy. Also, what a dick move to not even reciprocate either. I know you’re embarrassed, we’ve all been there so don’t worry too much. Things to learn from you’re encounter: be honest with people your trying to fuck, desperation will turn people off, “being good in bed” means helping the other person cum, “alpha” mentality makes you sound like a child.

Bro 🤦🏼‍♂️ why can't you just be honest with her? Clearly you lying and trying to be "alpha" didn't work. There's no such thing as "alpha" anyways, she's a grown ass woman and doesn't need some prick thinking he's in control of her. Insecure dudes use the term to try and make themselves feel better and it's just pure cringe. If you were just honest with the poor girl, she would have been more understanding and willing to take things slow. And if not, then that's her choice and maybe she doesn't want the responsibility of being someone's first. Lying and withholding information just to uphold a false appearance so you don't look weak is the actual weakest thing to do. Being honest and truthful the only thing close to being "alpha".

If you were convincing anyone in the world that you were an alpha male you would not be a 30 year old virgin.

Even the term alpha male is super cringe nowadays, but breaking it down, there are for sure dudes who hit the alpha archetype.

You aren't one of them.

There has been more than one time in my life where I had to ask myself if I should tell my SO that I slept with a friend/coworker, and most of the time I’ve elected not to mention it because it doesn’t matter and serves only to make my SO jealous.

I pretty much decided if SO is going to be around the friends in question I have a history with more than once or twice, then I would tell them so they don’t feel dumb being the only person in the room who doesn’t know. If Jake and Lena weren’t still a big part of your life I’d say you were fine but I would’ve said something sooner since they continued to be. Sounds like you understand that though and I’m sure not telling Sabrina was coming at least partially from a good place of not wanting to hurt her.

Of all relationship fuck ups this really isn’t bad, I think everyone makes a mistake like this at some point in their life. Sorry you’re feeling this way, but try not to be too hard on yourself.
