Culture shock is a bitch, especially when you go from 'oh, different kinds of humans on Earth have different views on sex' to 'this is a fucking alien species that might not even be carbon-based, and sex is just something they do on Friday nights with whoever they see'.

... ok, I exaggerate. But in all seriousness, it is hard to try to see things the way an entirely different culture sees them, especially if it's so damn foreign to what you're used to.

I don't know if I have that much advice, other than don't be so hard on yourself? Everyone's had thoughts, and people make mistakes. What matters is what you do with it later. Even at home, I had a couple major crushes on people who I really really shouldn't've, and I've gotten myself into a couple things here that might have been a little quick and a little dumb. But. It's all worked out. Oddly.
