Inappropriate messages to colleague

[effinghellg]

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??

Yes, I think you shoul quite and move out of town. Start afresh.

*quit!

You are coming across as very unintelligent tbh. You came late to the thread and didn’t read it and realise it changed significantly with each update from the OP.

Okay no I went on to my Facebook message and it was 'I'm sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable'

I just sent this -

Sorry, that wasn’t meant for you. I’d had a bit too much 🍷 and must have gotten confused after just having whatsapped you. Apologies, no one was safe last night 🤣

That's making it worse, a bit of admitting you're guilty of having a crush on him and are asking for his "forgiveness", you should have just brush it of with a "I was drunk last night and started sending people messages without knowing who I was sending them too.I got you confused with someone else. My deepest apologies for that". End of. he will feel relieved to know you have no crush on him and were just drunk texting "someone else".

Unless you wrote him:"I want to shag you silly" (or something in those lines -which you didn't-) it's not that of a big deal, really.

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

That's a good response.

Is that supposed to be for me? If so, I’m hardly the one coming across as ‘very unintelligent’. Read my original point - it’s in direct response to the OP’s updates revealing the content of the messages!

Is that supposed to be for me?

Actually, given that you’re the poster who said - with zero knowledge of the content of the messages - that this would be a sackable offence, I’m guessing it is indeed meant for me.

The fact that you would, without a hint of irony, describe me or anyone else as ‘very unintelligent’ says it all.

He replied - hahaha no worries, happens to the best of us 😂 x

Feel a bit better but still cringing

He sounds like a nice guy who's taken it all in good humour

Just say sorry wrong person

Nice recovery OP.
He will totally think you fancy him now though.

She does so fingers crossed!

Perfect!

Good result.

No more messages OP!

If this was the only message on FB, say simply that it was meant for someone else. Can't help with all the likes though I'd that happened 🙈 can you check your SM activity?

Perfect response!

No, I don't feel silly at all because I guessed she was in mountain out of molehills territory before she posted exactly what she'd put.

Erm yes I do

You do what?

Is this a joke , surely it must be. I'm laughing either way.
