I've just woken up, was drinking last night. Have a colleague I work with in my part time job who I am definitely attracted to but he is quite a bit younger than me and has a girlfriend and I've never mixed business with pleasure (assuming I even could).
I had a lot of drinks last night and ended up messaging him. I am actually mortified, I can't go into the messages but I remember sending him some really inappropriate ones over several different social medias. WhatsApp was more professional messages but on Facebook I sent him a more inappropriate one in which he responded, 'I don't know what you mean'.
I haven't been able to fully go into the messages due to fear but I am absolutely mortified, I don't know how to style this out or how I'll even show my face again. The poor guy. I feel horrendous. I honestly don't know what to do other than quit.
Should I quit??
AIBU?
Inappropriate messages to colleague

If that’s all it is, you’re overthinking it. There is nothing damaging in those messages.
I hope the people saying this was ‘probably a sackable offence’ and ‘you’ve had it’ are now feeling a little bit silly.

For instance the 'I offended you' one what the hell do I say

The messages themselves are relatively tame. You shouldn’t be using kisses to text male colleagues though (especially ones in a relationship); that’s hugely inappropriate and unprofessional to boot.
You should also not be drinking to the point of getting in these predicaments.
