Help replying to post first date text!

I went on a first date last night. It went well, the guy seemed lovely, kissed me at the end, text me in the morning. All good. I however drank a little too much and he's just text me referring to something we must have talked about last night but I have no idea what he's on about Blush

How do I style this out? Tell him I don't remember that part of the conversation (makes me sound like a lush) answer as if I know what he's talking about (dangerous in case he continues the conversation) or just ignore it and text him something totally different?!

I would suspect that I'd been mixed up with another date.

I did that once - cracked what I though was an in-joke and he had no idea what I was taking about Grin Was dead awkward BlushBlush

Just tell him you were hammered. You've been doing XX all day.

Send it and then report back

( I'll off sick with a broken ankle and need something to stave off the boredom )

I'd reply that I'm obviously a massive lightweight and the drink went to my head and I honestly can't recall chatting about it! He wouldn't (shouldn't) judge you for that and hopefully would find it funny. If you were drunk to the point of not knowing what you were doing he probably realises especially as he recalls it.

Also the first text after a date is always a bit awkward as you're never 100% sure if you hit it off. It sounds like he's trying to keep it lighthearted. Try not to worry. Xx

Sorry!! Don't want to upset you! I wouldn't mind. My ex got hideously drunk on our first date, carried me part of the way home and was very silly but I found it funny!

Alicenwonderland · 09/10/2019 17:53

Also he messaged back!! He won't have done that if it was bad!! Xxxx

Just say you had a change if plans / something came up and you did something else today

I have a friend who got so drunk on a first date she had to go and puke in the bathroom. When she came back the guy kissed her and then said "you just puked didn't you" 😂
