Is there truth in when someone says something when they're drunk? friend texted me whilst drunk.

[juyeti]

Friend is away for a couple of days for a stag do. He doesn't normally drink so guessing not much would render him quite drunk. Last night I received a text at 1am but didn't see it till this morning. It was written terribly with a lot of typos and repeated letters in words so took me a few moments to understand what it said. The coherent version...without some random stuff at the beginning..

"Juyetii, poppy. I miss you. I wish you were here with me. Its so fucking beautiful. So so beautiful. Is it too late to tell you how I feel. You're the one. Let's go back to the beginning. I'm just wasting time. I know it might be complicated but it doesn't matter. it will be okay. I'm too fucking scared to tell you. I wish you feel the same.

I haven't received anything from him yet nor have I replied. I don't know what to make it of it really. Im pretty sure he was drunk when he sent it. Does he actually mean it if he was drunk? Do I bring it up / ignore it?! I've been thinking about it all day!

If you feel the same way, I hope it works out, OP. Good luck!

Guy's in love with you, hope this is the start of something special!

The difference would be that the focus of the event is anticipation of marriage, and that is often a trigger to get people thinking about their own situation regarding marriage and relationships. On a regular night out, you might be thinking of marriage, but equally, you might be thinking of your tax return.

Shamelessly place marking too! How exciting! I miss that phase right at the start when it's all exciting and new. Not that I'd change my life for a second, I just think this is lovely.

Aw this is so lovely 😊 don't put yourself down x

Waiting for the update and hoping it's going to OP sailing off into the sunset with the gorgeous friend

You say it’s not a dichotomy, @ThatFraggle, but then suggest exactly the opposite: ‘Someone with the maturity to express that he's open to a relationship is a million times more attractive than one too scared to say anything until he's drunk’.… what’s that if not a dichotomy?
There are myriad reasons for expressing an openness to being in a relationship; maturity is one such reason. Another could be arrogance, for example, which isn’t quite so attractive…

You prioritised going to work over updating Mumsnet! 😮😉😄

Thank you ThatFraggle, never thought of it like that :)
To be fair on either event I am normally thinking about the kebab at the end of the evening

Budge up folks, I love a good romance thread..

Hope it all works out for you, OP.

So invested in this!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! ❤️

so sorry guys! In the morning rush, I forgot my phone at home! But what on earth I have I come to? 😂 I've had a super quick skim of the messages and you have all had me laughing! 😆.

I need to get tea ready and sort stuff out but will come back when I have free time in the evening with a cup of coffee.

Oh and of course he's single! Eww, would never consider someone already in a relationship.

Oh I’m totally invested in this too!!!!! Wishing you all the best of luck!

I have a good vibe about this! It sounded even from your first post that he is into you but needed Dutch courage to tell you! And the ‘phew’ means it definitely wasn’t a feeling that vanished when he woke up sober! Hope it all goes well :)

Is this the same person that received a message from ex partner after 6 months or something like that with no communication telling her he loved her? Sounds similar @juyeti

This happened to me once and he was telling the truth but i wasnt single so it didnt progress any further.

Shamelessly placemarking cause i'm invested

I always think drinking just takes away your inhibitions - so you say the things you WOULD say sober if your sensible brain didn't take over!

This thread? https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4858994-to-think-you-dont-accidentally-text-your-ex-this

It's nothing like that thread.
The OP of that thread has even been on this one complainign about the difference in tone of the responses they got as opposed to the ones on this thread.

I knew he was single the whole time.

No one is taking this away from us!

Just found this thread! Getting the popcorn......😊

I’ve loved reading this thread. Wishing you good things with handsome friend!

Can’t wait for the update 🍿
