I agree with what many of the others have said - that you just need to get to confession. I would also say that there was a degree of sin in the act of responding to your friend. That comes from what Christ said about men that lust after women - that they have committed adultery with them in their hearts and that the actual physical playing out of the sin is not needed for it to be sin of that magnitude. So if your intention was sinful - which you would know - then yeah - there was a sin. Go to confession though, that is the most important.

Don’t be hard on yourself either. You also had a victory in this case - that whatever your intention was you turned from it and chose the better option. That in and of itself is a grace - that you turned from something potentially really bad and turned back to your Lord.

And keep praying!

Thats the thing. I didnt lust after her, not one bit.
 
I am guilty of many sins. What bothers me the most I suppose is your cavalier attitude about another persons feelings.

Kathy
and what exact feelings are you refering to? Did I hurt her feelings? Yes I did.
Maybe I should of met with her so her feelings wouldnt be hurt.
You are confusing me.

Edit: I was thinking about what you said. My heart was hardened years ago after my divorce. I dated many women and I used many women, but they used me too for their pleasure.
Yes, I was a playboy. I admit that.
I have changed, and my original post reflects that. You have no idea how hard it is for me, none.
I used to be pretty wild and did what I want when I wanted with who I wanted to. It is easy for me. I have almost perfected the method.
God was never in my life, never. I am so ashamed of the way I lived. I have no idea how I made it to this age.

In any case, I am trying so hard to do what is right now. Then this incident came along. I am being condemned all over.
