Acquaintance Rape?

I'm pretty sure he had sex with me
One night in March my sorority had a date party. I took a guy I had just met. However, many of my sisters knew (and liked) him, which is how we ended up going together. He seemed really, really nice and I was excited because I thought we were going to have a lot of fun.

We were drinking at my apartment before the party and I had had more than a couple drinks. I don't know exactly how strong they were because my date made all of my drinks. The drinks consisted mostly of vodka and triple sec. Of course I was buzzing, but way more than I should have for the amount I drank. I guess he must have made them extra strong, or might he have slipped something else into my drink, too…

As the night went on, I got more and more drunk and don't remember half of what happened. I remember my date saying, “are you ready to go?” To which I think I said “yes.” But what I was really ready for, was to go to bed!

I obviously had no control of myself and was following him because he seemed a lot less drunk than me (if alcohol was even the cause of my problems). The next thing I knew, we were in his room and he was all over me. I was so out of it, I guess I just went with it.

I remember him saying, “I have a rubber” and then he pushed me on the bed. I was in no shape to even muster a response, so I said nothing and don't remember anything until one of my sisters knocked on the door and I woke up sometime later. I was in his bed naked.

I am pretty sure he had sex with me, but I'm not sure. I don't think I ever said "no" to his advances (or yes, for that matter). All I know, is that if I hadn't been so out of it, it definitely would not have happened.

I don't know if this counts as some type of rape, but I feel ashamed of myself. It wasn't that long ago when this all happened and I am still trying to deal with it.

Girls, please remember that alcohol can make you do things you regret and things that could change your life! Be Careful!

She's absolutely right. You do need to be careful. This is a very serious problem.

I am sorry that this happened to you. It is legally a date rape...you were in no state to give consent. Consentual sex is when both parties freely and willingly agree to have sex. He took advantage of your state, and that is his shame. There are many men who would have had the decency to take you home...I HATE it that there are men out there who do this to women...What are they afraid of?! Can they NOT get any without the woman being innanely drunk or drugged? Anyway, I hope that you find someone with whom you can talk about this, and that you find healing.
