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!

i would honestly think of the children. sounds quite toxic to say that in a text. sounds like he keeps secrets...

Exciting!!

Hmm. I think his follow up message is a bit of an anti climax actually!

PatrickGammon · 28/07/2023 01:09

He definitely meant it then.

He's trying hard to push the boundary without risking ruining their existing friendship.

Mot 😄

Absolutely invested in this OP - you HAVE to tell us the backstory now! Sounds like you’re an absolute catch; don’t sell yourself short. Good luck!

I thought the same tbh...

When you’re drunk you’re inabitions are basically gone for most people.
You tend to say things that you’ve been dwelling on for a while.
I think these are his true feelings.

He hasn’t said anything since because he’s embarrassed you know his true feelings now he’s sobered up.
So if you like him I’d ask him out.
Definately!

I can’t believe that starting multiple threads on your ex texting you isn’t enough MaxwellCat, so you’ve felt the need to come onto someone else’s thread and start talking about it here too!

decaffonlypls · 28/07/2023 02:04

Sounds like the start of something. Lovely.
