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!

Reply and say come and show me then. Cut to the chase !

I'm sure you're lovely, but I would assume one of his drunk mates had nabbed his phone and sent it as a prank. Ask him if that's the case - that way if it's genuine you can respond however you see fit. If not, no face lost!

What's with the influx of posters who can't see the date and time on posts?

Birdsongtops · 29/07/2023 19:44

Keep up, we’re nearly buying hats ! Good luck op

IWantAShitzu · 29/07/2023 19:45

I am so invested in this! How did your afternoon go?

Lenista · 29/07/2023 19:52

Waiting with bated breath to hear how the meeting went on his return this afternoon.
Wedding Song - sorted!
Hat - ready!
Date - please?
PS. I am from a very different cultural/religious background to my OH, but where there is love, there is a way to make it work. Love prevails :) Very excited for you.

People's true feelings/character comes out when they're drunk. I'd said give him a chance, life's too short. Depending on the complication of course.

Just to those arriving late to this thread - there is a useful function on the bottom right of juyeti's posts called 'see all'

If you click it you can read all her updates in one go..........

TabsKane · 29/07/2023 20:21

Oh my! We need an updated date!

OP… good men are hard to find. I understand your faith is important to you, but… I hope you don’t mind me saying this, don’t let a difference in faith beliefs stop you.

PaperwhiteTheGhost · 29/07/2023 20:23

This thread has just made my heart happy 😊
Thank you both for cheering me up!!

My white spiritual (literally, her job is tarot readings and crystal selling) friend is married to a Tunisian Muslim man and they have been very happily together for over 10 years 💓

WeeksintheSun · 29/07/2023 20:26

Loved reading your uplifting thread. Good luck to you both. The excitement in your messages are palpable ❤️❤️

ClairDeLaLune · 29/07/2023 20:36

Late to the party, but what a lovely thread! Can’t wait for the update OP…..

Isinglass20 · 29/07/2023 20:38

Out of your league? Think
Darcy and Miss Bennet 😍😍

Letterposter · 29/07/2023 20:44

@juyeti thanks

I hope so too, like many have already said, good men are hard to find.

we’re all waiting eagerly for an update so whenever you have a moment!

zerofuchsgivenTBH · 29/07/2023 20:48

God I usually get so depressed about men on MN but this is lovely. My theory is that when a guy likes you, you aren't left wondering. This proves my theory...!

Steakandquinoa · 29/07/2023 21:06

Well I think the meeting may have gone veeery well..!

pollymere · 29/07/2023 21:07

Meh on the complication. Go for it!

Agnostic is just posh for undecided. I got to know my DH because he was agnostic and interested to learn about my faith... And we got married in a Catholic church 😂

pontipinemum · 29/07/2023 21:29

Oh this is all very exciting!! Please update every so often to let us know how it's going I'd love to know

Jadeywithababy · 29/07/2023 21:32

Aaah this thread made me so happy! My husband and I got together after working together and insisting we were ‘just friends’ for 2 years when we finally exchanged a couple of very brave/risky texts - so glad we did!! I literally sometimes look at him playing with our baby and thank my lucky stars for that first terrifying text! I really hope it works out for you, yay!!!!

Vino veritas.

Deal with this as you see fit!!

TedLassosMoustache · 29/07/2023 21:40

This thread is the highlight of my day ❤️

Playing the 'What did he mean by that' game is invariably pointless - except perhaps if you're short of a topic for Prosecco-fuelled gossip.🤗 In which case, enjoy yourself, but for goodness sake don't act on any conclusions you might come to!
This might be a drunken booty call, it might be a heart-felt declaration of love. You won't find out by textual analysis. Ask him, or wait and see what happens.

Oh FFS
Read the thread!!!!!

Picoloangel · 29/07/2023 21:49

Waiting for update….

LovelyIssues · 29/07/2023 21:57

He meant it! Absolutely go for it OP!!!!
