This happened to me about 7 months ago, and it is something that has really been affecting me lately. I'm still really unsure about how to feel or what I should do.<br><br>A girl I go to college with, and who I had never really talked to before, told me that she's a survivor of sexual assault. I opened up to her about something that had happened to me 4 years ago, in which I was sexually assaulted by a guy I had been casually dating. She then proceeded to tell me about how she had also been assaulted, but by another woman. She said that the woman had been a friend of hers, and had been with her boyfriend at the time.<br><br>She said that the woman had been jealous of their relationship and that she had a crush on her boyfriend, which is why she assaulted her. I don't know if it was really what she did, or if she just wanted to feel like a victim too.<br><br>I decided to tell her about a recent situation where a woman had made unwanted advances at me. I had met this woman at a party a couple weeks earlier, and she had made a couple comments about how much she liked me and wanted to see me again. I didn't really think much of it, and then we ended up running into each other again at a different party. She kept making comments about how much she liked me, and she even tried to touch me a couple times.<br><br>The last time we saw each other, she asked if I wanted to go back to her place with her, but I told her no and left. I wasn't really interested in her, and I didn't want to lead her on or give her the wrong idea.<br><br>I told the girl who had been assaulted by another woman about what had happened, and she told me that she thought it was a good idea to report it. I was really hesitant at first, but I decided to go for it. I filed a report with the police and everything.<br><br>Now, the woman who made these advances is scared that I'm going to ruin her life. She keeps saying that I'm being ridiculous and overreacting, and that she didn't mean to hurt me. She's even started crying and saying that she's so sorry and that she doesn't understand why I would do this to her.<br><br>I don't know what to do. I'm still really hurt by what she did, and I don't know if I can forgive her. But I also feel terrible for her, and I don't want to ruin her life. I'm just really unsure about what I should do.<br><br>&#x200B;
