Oh fuck. I pressed send on my message, I've had too much wine and now I want to take it back!

Whatdidyousaywhatdidyousay?!

Well done OP!

YourVagesty · 31/08/2018 01:00

And also, have you flirted a bit previously? Has he flirted back?

Foslady · 31/08/2018 01:00

Ah - sod it, either way it’ll sort itself out, you never know, you might get the answer you want 😉

UpstartCrow · 31/08/2018 01:01

Well done!
Just don't send him a dick pic and you're already ahead of the game ime Grin

girlalmighty · 31/08/2018 01:03

Love it. Life's too short.

Jozen · 31/08/2018 01:10

Well it's done now. It'll go one way or t'other.

TiredPony · 31/08/2018 01:10

I'm so tipsy! Please don't judge. I got divorced last year and have been terminally single since. But I met this guy a few times through friend groups and he is the only person that I've been interested in since. We were talking tonight and turns out there's a thing that is going on locally that he didn't know about so I sent him the link.
And I've just followed it up with a message saying if you're going on your own (which I think he is) then let me know and to let me know if he wants company.

Oh I love that first feeling of having a crush and being unsure about everything.

Please do let me live vicariously through you keep us updated.

MyNameIsAlexDrake · 31/08/2018 01:18

That message is fine, don't panic! Friendly, gives him the option to respond (or not) and not flirty at all.

Hope it works out for you!

ashtrayheart · 31/08/2018 01:21

Ah that's fine. And if he's not receptive you still save face, as it could be construed as friendly matey stuff.
Hope he responds positively Grin

TiredPony · 31/08/2018 01:27

Ugh Buzz, I'm the opposite of you, I hate the insecurity of crushes.

SleepWarrior · 31/08/2018 01:30

I hate the integrity too but you haven't made a fool of yourself with that. It's an easy out for him if it's not interested, with your dignity very much intact! Stop worry. But obviously so let us know what he says!

SleepWarrior · 31/08/2018 01:30

Integrity = insecurity

Blahdeblah123 · 31/08/2018 02:22

How exciting. Good luck 😁

fieryginger · 31/08/2018 02:44

Your text is fine, no cringe factor at all. Let us know how he responds. Life's too short for "what if's" - you seized the day! Good for you.

pastaandpestoagain · 31/08/2018 03:06

That's a really sensible message to send, hopefully he is single and interested but if for any reason he isn't you aren't going to be embarrassed.

Jozen · 31/08/2018 04:06

Your text sounds fine. Sounds quite matey so I wouldn't worry.
Did he respond?

CatchingACold · 31/08/2018 04:50

You have just offered him a booty call as I read it?

ilovesooty · 31/08/2018 05:37

Perfectly reasonable and ordinary message.

No need to be embarrassed or to panic - either he responds or he doesn't.

"Booty call ? Confused WTAF?

Harrykanesrightsock · 31/08/2018 05:51

That’s not a booty fall offereimg. It’s a would you like to spend some time with me message. Good luck tired

Jozen · 31/08/2018 06:28

Booty call??
I don't know what booty call texts you've sent or received Catching but OP doesn't read bootyish in the slightest.

BitchQueen90 · 31/08/2018 07:18

A booty call?

A booty call would be do you want to come over to mine tonight. What OP sent is nothing like that!

Let us know what he says OP.

TiredPony · 31/08/2018 09:58

Booty call? 😂😂😂 Not in the slightest. I certainly would be having a panic attack if that’s what I had sent.
No reply as yet.
