Beer Fear - WTF do I do?!

[GotTheBeerFear]

Posting for traffic, and looking for guidance as to what I should do as I'm in no fit state to make a sensible decision.

Have name changed too as I don't want to out myself.

Got massively drunk last night, not proud of it & paying the price this morning although truth be told I still feel pissed.

Must have text an old 'acquaintance' last night... cut contact months ago as I fell for him (I know, I know) and despite him getting in touch several times I've just ignored him.

Changed phones and deleted his number in fact, so the temptation hasn't been there.

Anyway, wake up this morning to a text message from him asking who it is... wtf do I do?! Got proper beer fear and scared to even open the message and read what I must have sent him last night. I was transferring photos from my old phone yesterday and came across his number so it can't just be a coincidence :-(

Do I ignore, or own it and admit who it is? Read the message or just straight delete (and block so there's no repercussions)!

Tbh it did sting a bit to read him asking who it is but we've never ever text before so he can't have my number stored and he'd have known who it was over messenger or WhatsApp.

Please tell me what to do!

He doesn’t know it’s you . Just ignore

Read what you sent him block and ignore. and come and tell us how embarrassing it was

If you want no further contact with him just ignore ....happy hangover 😆

Do you think? I'd be typing a random number who text me straight into WhatsApp to see if I recognised the picture!

Maybe I've just been on here too long lol.

What if he knows it IS me?! FFS... must've seemed like a really good idea at the time

Hangxiety is the worst! You might as well read it, he will already assume you have seen what you sent so it's no more embarrassing, and it may put your mind at rest! Open it, read it, delete and carry on with life 😊

Own it! Let us know what happens

Delete message without reading, block him on your phone and then block on WhatsApp and messenger. Don't forget to block before you delete him as a contact!

"sorry wrong number" works in these situations. But it depends on what you sent him and we need to know

Ooooh I like the sound of a 'sorry wrong number' reply!

Still not plucked up the courage to read it though :-(

Wish someone could do it for me

Seriously, don't torture yourself. There's a lot to be said for sticking your head in the sand sometimes. You don't even need to read it to reply saying it's a wrong number!

Read it! Or it'll bug you forever. Don't reply. He'll forget.

Read the message, own the moment and then delete and block the number. Don't reply.

How did you text him if you’d changed phones and deleted his number?

Open it. Say “sorry wrong number” without saying who you are. Delete. Block. Order Chinese.

Beer fear is the worst! Get thee a cup of coffee, read the text and tell us what you said then delete and move on. Don't bother replying.

Depends on what you put in the message last night?

Read it and report back please :)

You also need cheese and toast and a shandy.

Cover the screen when you open it to reply, send "So sorry, wrong number!", exit text and then delete without reading.

Assuming you really don't want to know what you said.

I bet it’s nowhere near as bad as you think it is. Read it, otherwise you will always be wondering.

I've read it... it's obviously been sent by someone under the influence... and at 04:35 too... didn't realise I was still awake at that time!

What did it say?

What did it say ffs

Here's the message. Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply.

It's not as bad as I thought but if I received similar I'd be thinking wtf?!

So what do you think I should do now?!

Oh I thought this was going to be much worse! Just ignore and block his number.

Do nothing. Just delete & move on. You're feeling under the weather & over thinking it.

I would put a tenner on it that he knows it's you. Just delete block and move on
