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!

It's so obvious you're pissed in that, I wouldn't worry.

Don't do a thing, forget it.

Block and ignore.

That’s hilarious
Just ignore and move on.

The message isn't that bad at all.

I'd either block and ignore or just say sorry wrong number and then block and ignore.

He totally knows it's you. Block and eat doughnuts.

You didn't say anything embarrassing at all, so just forget about it. It's impressive you were pissed and still awake at 4.30 and that's the worst that happened!

Yeah you’re clearly pissed 😂😂😂
Delete and block!!!

I'm cringing just reading it back

And just had an MP at my door touting for votes which made for an interesting chat whilst I'm still half cut

Doing sweet FA today thankfully but might order a pizza & ice cream to perk myself up!

In hindsight it's a good thing he didn't reply at the time I sent the msg...I reckon I'd have poured my heart out and confessed my undying love or something if he had

I’d follow it up with - ‘oops, that was meant for someone else - sorry!’. Then block & delete - it’s very non specific, could easily be true. Then distract yourself with lots of carbs & a duvet day/binge watch a Netflix series! We’ve all been there (at least I have!!) - ‘this too shall pass’ & all that. Good luck!

Block, delete, ignore.

But he didn't and you didn't, and it's all good. Eat pizza, fret ye not.

Delete, block, then crack on (and stay off the beer).

Clodrylt- is that Welsh?

Just ignore, he’ll have no idea it was you.

I’m confused though, why is you falling for him a problem, are one or both of you in a relationship already?

Definitely no beer for me today, although a Bloody Mary would go down well with my pizza I'm sure! note to self turn phone off first!

And thanks all... you've put me at ease. Wouldn't have even read the msg if it weren't for this thread

'LOL sorry that was meant for Janet. I thought I'd deleted your number. how odd'.

Really suggest you join your local temperance society, and do it today!

@JessieMcJessie I don't know... is it? Pretty impressive if it is and will happily claim I can speak Welsh after having a few!

I'm single, don't know if he still is. We had a casual set up shall we say... neither of us wanted relationships at the time but I've honestly not got on as well with any guy... or had the same chemistry as I've had with him.

Quite sad really but I found it too much of a head fuck which is why I cut contact.

Why is it that after having a good evening... he was all I was thinking about and I wanted to speak to him?!

Well...did you ever give him the opportunity to see if he had changed his mind about being FWB??

@Justaboy just googled temperance society and completely agree, I'd quite happily lead the movement the way I'm feeling!

@IvanaPee no I didn't I just thought it best to cut contact rather than admit how I feel and risk being rejected.

Oh god. My romance novel junkie is kicking in...

What if he did like you??

How about texting

“sorry, it’s Beer. Clearly I was three sheets to the wind. Really sorry!”

You’re not saying “please take me back, I love you” but it might be a window?

And if he doesn’t respond positively you haven’t lost anything??

Why is it that after having a good evening... he was all I was thinking about and I wanted to speak to him?!

Don't read too much into this. The mind/conscious and subconscious is a bizarre thing. I once when totally out of it managed to track down my high school sweetheart.

You never even told him OP? Oh man

She can’t say it was meant for someone else! She starts it with his name!

I wished for ages that he did... and I think there were signs he did but perhaps I was just reading too much into it?

My fear is him turning round and saying "it was only casual, we didn't want a relationship did we?"

So I'd rather not know.

And anyway... I've read on here, and truly believe that if someone liked you enough they'd let you know wouldn't they? He hasn't... so I cut him off.

@IvanaPee I really wish you could write a happy ending to this story!
