Is it normal to have had sex with a guy 30 years older than me?
I'm 19. I just moved to a new city where I know absolutely nobody, and I have a really rocky low self-esteem. I posted online randomly JUST curious about NSA (no strings attached)/casual encounters meetups. I didn't expect to do anything, only see who was out there - there was this guy who responded to my post really nicely. He called me beautiful and all sorts of flattering things. He said he wanted to meet. I really didn't think I would do ANYTHING at all. I honestly didn't. So, out of perhaps (morbid) curiosity, I said let's meet after he kept trying to convince me to. We met in the middle of the night and I went to his house with him. I instantly felt uncomfortable the moment I got in his vehicle. I knew it wasn't what I wanted but at the same time I felt so guilty that he drove the distance and I felt...alone? I don't even know...I just feel sick and guilty and ashamed. I know that other girls have done things like this and have survived self-dignity, but I honestly hate myself right now.
I just can't understand why I stayed in the vehicle with him, why I even got in. I don't understand why I did that to myself. The second I got in the car, I could even tell that he didn't look like the pictures he had sent - he looked much older, much different...and yet *I* felt guilty and like I "owed" him just knowing that. I don't know why, god I don't know why.
Anyway, when we got to his place I told him I felt uncomfortable. He just kept saying nice things and saying over and over "It will be okay, it will be okay, just forget about everything," and he kept pushing my arms away and started to take off my clothes. I'm so mad at myself because I KNEW I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, but I sort of just let it happen. I let it all happen and it was all in slow-mo and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't make it stop. I only said stop twice, but half-heartedly - I just kept letting it happen and letting him whisper those things.
The second it was done, I asked to go back home. I felt really numb and I still do - and it's just awful. He's 30 years older than me, I made sure he used protection, but I'm going to get tested anyway - I'm always paranoid about things like this, anything that could hinder me in life, I worry about.
He said he was clean, but if he's willing to meet strangers online and have sex with them, I could never trust someone like that - I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I LET HIM DO IT, WHY I WENT THROUGH WITH IT. I'm so mad and sad and gosh, it's just awful. I'm just horrible, or, at least, that's what I feel like.
Is it normal to have done this?
Is it normal to feel this way?
Is it normal to have let it happen?
Has anyone else done anything like this?
I just feel sick and want to know that I'm not a monster.
I'm terrified that somehow someone will find out - and at the same time I want to tell my own mom, like I'd confess things as a child and she'd tell me it would all be okay.
I know I didn't do anything awful; I didn't hurt anyone, but I can't stop feeling like an awful awful awful person.
