Help me! I sent a FB friend request to my crush when drunk

[Ishouldnotdrink]

Name changed for this because 

I have a crush at work and last night under the influence of lots of drink I sent him a friend request. Then thought better of it and cancelled it. Then sent it again. Then cancelled it. I don't know how many times I did this when my friend pointed out he was likely getting an email each time. I don't have email notifications for FB so totally forgot.

After dying inside all day and hoping he doesn't have notifications on either I've got a friend request from him. What shall I do? Style it out and say I was drunk and don't remember it? Or blame my friend for messing with my phone (but then I would have to explain away why I was even talking about him)

For reference I am married with a child and he has a girlfriend

FB should make you solve a complicated maths equation before letting you use it 

Bloody hell, don’t launch into all sorts of weird explanations about your friend having your phone and adding him. That will just alert him to the fact that it’s not a straightforward friend request.

Treat it like you would any other request: accept it and leave it at that. Like others said, if he says anything about the multiple requests, just go “how odd! Facebook must have been having a moment” He won’t think anything of it

You’re overthinking massively

The whole point of the very short op was she sent him the request. He's the one to accept it or not.

Nope. As the "very short OP" said:

After dying inside all day and hoping he doesn't have notifications on either I've got a friend request from him.

Anyway just accept it and be normal.

I like the suggestion about adding a few more work colleagues for good measure, to dilute it a bit 

I'd definitely not go into explanations- it's just a simple friend request! Channel 'breezy'

My DH had a friend request from a work colleague when drunk. Next time she was drunk she wanted to see a picture of his dick, third drinking session she told him what she wanted him to do her. She's blocked now and work is slightly awkward!

Nothing wrong' with work friends on FB but perhaps steer clear of it when drunk?!

To clarify I don't spend time thinking about him, we were talking about embarrassing crushes and I looked for him on FB. I have never done that before. I don't think about him constantly!!! It's just a passing crush 

Whilst his profile was up it seemed like a good idea. The main reason I cancelled it first was because I thought oh shit he'll know (which of course was the alcohol fuelled brain) then I thought I am making something of it by cancelling it and went round in circles a few times.

Anyway I have accepted it and just left it there.

And for all those thinking I about to embark on a torrid affair I wouldn't do that to DH (or shit on my own doorstep!)

Just accept and don’t say anything I doubt he will mention it just act cool and if he does mention it blame the tech say u added him once
