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 He doesn’t normally drink much I think y you should get him round for a couple of drinks when he gets back !

Think you need to suggest a coffee and a chat when he gets back from the stag do. He seems to have meant what he said and you seem receptive of the idea, if you want something with him, have a chat with him sober about how this can go given that you're a single mum it can't be a jump in with both feet situation, but I'm sure he is already aware of that.

How lovely, absolutely here for the updates 😍

Another shameless placemaker! Was the MOT alright btw?

Lol. This thread is lovely. 😍 I hope it works out for you op.

Me too. It's very important to have a roadworthy vehicle.

Wow, you're brave! I would definitely have checked he didn't send it to the wrong person first 😂

I neeeeeed an update!

🤣🤣🤣👌

Tbf it's the sort of romanticism my husband would show 🤣

OP stop being so down on yourself and saying he's out of your league.

How exciting though! Keep us posted.

Get in there! 😜

Please keep us posted, I'm so excited for you 🤗

Sounds like he needed some Dutch courage to declare his true feelings.

Update/backstory pleaseeee 🙏🏼

You must be quite a bleak person.

Aw, he remembered your MOT, he definitely cares 😍

Please keep us updated. That's the most romantic text I ever read!

Agree with this. Why is he way out of your league? You need to stop thinking like this. Know your worth!

Are you generally very close friends? The MOT question sounds a bit like a “return to normal” discussion, but it will be interesting to see where this goes. If he doesn’t refer to it again, will you?

I’d say the truth does generally come out when drunk, but if something logical is holding you back when sober, it might return when sobriety does. I have a (not very close) married friend who texted about his unhappiness with his marriage and desire to be with me when drunk. Once sober, normality reasserted itself, so I guess something’s keeping him married.

Mine’s about to wake up and will say, ‘What are you doing awake, beautiful? I love you. Would you like some tea? I must board out the rest of the loft later’.

It’s like the world’s greatest love story, the DIY version.

OMG I hope this ends well. If my best friend text me this I'd be buzzing. The most I get when he is pissed is a try-on for a booty call. It's a standing joke between us now. He sends a Nuuuggggg.... and I reply NO 🤣

Place marking 😂🙊

Is he single? What's the complication?

keen to see how this develops. Also, for consistency he was pissed. But you did respond so we know more about intentions that Maxwellcat.

This is lovely. He will be hungover and sorry when the stag do is over, invite him round as soon as he gets back and talk it out asap.
