One of my male friends of many years sent me this and I'm struggling to work out what he means by it. He later backtracked and said he also sent his step brother a similar message, thoughts please?.

"Oy you're an amazing person. Just be yourself in life. You are perfect in every way. Just you are you're amazing. Just well done in just being you. You are everything that I consider perfect. Well done"

..was he drunk?!

PenguinPandas · 23/12/2018 05:37

Had he been drinking? 😳

Would guess he's a bit in love with you then got drunk and told you. Then got sober and embarrassed.

Definitely drunk talking. Got a family member who is very introverted normally sending very similar message after a few too many. We laugh it off.

Is he worried about your mental health and wanting to boost you up?

He had been drinking yes, Christmas party and all that, lol. My gut says he may like me but you know....drink 😑.

Are you single? Do you like him in that way?

maximumcarnage · 23/12/2018 08:54

Rambling repetitive text. Yup. Pickled. Sloshed. And odds are he probably did send that to a couple of people. I know because I do exactly the same. In the sober, cold light of day he’s trying to explain it away confirms it.

DeeStopia · 23/12/2018 08:56

This may just be me but it sounds a bit sarcastic...?

I am single yes, he is ok I guess. It's just the message can be read in so many ways. The fact most of you have a different answer explains that perfectly, lol.

Too well written to be sent by a drunk. Round robin..... or what ever the modern tech term is for a message that gets forwarded from person to person?

BusterGonad · 23/12/2018 09:14

If someone sent me that of the opposite sex then I would think he fancies me!

maximumcarnage · 23/12/2018 09:16

I dunno. My drunk messages are surprisingly coherent. But ramble and get repetitive. Like the original message.

At any rate I wouldn’t pay any attention to it. Whichever way you want to interpret it, it’s not going anyway. I’d just chuckle over it and move on with your life. And have a Merry Christmas. Xmas Smile

"Today 09:14 BusterGonad

If someone sent me that of the opposite sex then I would think he fancies me!"

Not just my thoughts then?.

Sorry OP. I think he sent it as a friend. He has also confirmed he sent his step brother a similar message.

This was my first thought too.

user14869556378 · 23/12/2018 09:44

I don't think a guy would send that if he only looked as you as a friend - unless you've ever had conversations with him doubting yourself etc. ?

BusterGonad · 23/12/2018 09:59

Op I am 40 if that changes anything? But I would just presume it was a chat up line!

LemonTT · 23/12/2018 10:09

Whatever his reason for sending when drunk, he didn’t follow through when sober.

I personally don’t think it is romantic. It sounds like somebody who wants to tell you to think more of yourself. Be more confident etc. Like others said not something written when drunk but maybe something being sent around.

It’s not a reveal of his attraction or love. If he was drunk he would have said something about that. He didn’t. If he likes you he will ask you out. It’s really that simple.

Musti · 23/12/2018 10:14

If it's a really good friend who is trying to boost you up , then it's just friendly. But someone you d9nt confide in then I'd say he fancies you a lot.

BusterGonad · 23/12/2018 10:28

What's a round robin? And why do people send them?

Travisandthemonkey · 23/12/2018 10:31

How did he back track

Fireandflames666 · 23/12/2018 11:31

He said that "He was trying to chat me up and that "he'd sent the same message to his step brother!".

Sounds like he fancies you but doesn’t want to admit it for whatever reason.

Sausagefingers9 · 23/12/2018 11:36

I read it as him having fond feelings for you. There’s nothing sexy in it.
