Sent a drunk message. I need to emigrate

Fuck sake I’m so annoyed at myself.

I have had one too many wines and I did the thing that you shouldn’t do. I text a guy who I had a brief fling with months ago a really cringy text. I don’t know what came over me, I just started typing and suddenly this absolutely atrociously sentimental nonsense came out and before I knew it I’d pressed send Blush.

I didn’t even like him particularly! He wasn’t my type physically and he was as boring as a sack of spuds. I will be honest and say it’s because we stayed in once daily text contact and I didn’t like that he left my one word reply to his text on read. Weeks ago. I’m aware I sound like a toddler. Being ignored does funny things to me.

Oh sweet Jesus. I should emigrate.

Lol that’s funny and you will laugh at some point. If it helps you’re going to mess with his head as it will be out the blue and he won’t know how to respond so he’ll probably feel equally awkward 🤣

Whyohwhydididothat · 24/11/2020 19:41

I’d like to speed up the getting to the laughing part!

I’m cringing. Also resisting the urge to lock my phone in a drawer/chuck it out the window because I’m 50/50 on whether he will reply and I never want to see his name appear on my phone again.

I’m mortified!

A drunk mate nicked your phone and played a prank excuse?

sapnupuas · 24/11/2020 19:44

I've sent way worse. Don't even worry about it.

Windmillwhirl · 24/11/2020 19:48

Tell yourself if never happened and never think of it again. It could have been much worse. Grin

Whyohwhydididothat · 24/11/2020 19:53

I was all for the telling myself it never happened but he’s just replied. I can’t bring myself to look.

block him

CrazyCatLazy · 24/11/2020 20:02

What did he say 😬

PurpleSweetPeas · 24/11/2020 20:02

What did he reply with?

ImFree2doasiwant · 24/11/2020 20:04

Read it and tell us!!

Whyohwhydididothat · 24/11/2020 20:12

I read the half that comes up as a preview on WhatsApp, I’m not opening it until I’m sober. Heres hoping I’ll have forgotten about it by tomorrow!

He seems to have ignored the weird, out of nowhere, sentimental stuff and only commented on the inane chit chat. He’s also said that he’s up for going for a drink Confused. I can’t see the second half.

Text him, "Sorry...drunk". leave it at that.

BlueThistles · 24/11/2020 20:15

you can delete the messages OP

sapnupuas · 24/11/2020 20:15

"Sorry. Wrong number"

BlueThistles · 24/11/2020 20:15

if he's not read it... go into whatsapp and 'delete for everyone' 🌺

Notanothernamechanged101 · 24/11/2020 20:17

As it was on WhatsApp you should have deleted it before he read it.

Savourysenorita · 24/11/2020 20:17

It could have been a hell of a lot worse. He'll know you were drinking by the tone of the text. Just message back and say 'I'd had a few vinos last night. Ignore my ramblings!' and don't text him again

TerribleCustomerCervix · 24/11/2020 20:17

I wouldn’t bother trying to come up with an excuse, just tell the truth. It’s not that bad!

You got a bit pissed and sent an OTT text. I’m sure most of us have done worse!

MajesticWhine · 24/11/2020 20:18

You could leave the country yes. Or delete WhatsApp and change your number. But I reckon it can't be that bad if he replied.

bengalcat · 24/11/2020 20:19

Ah well never mind hopefully he’s thought ‘ mad cow ‘ and not replied .

cakeandchampagne · 24/11/2020 20:22

You need to give it another go- he’s already told his family you’re back together. Smile

user17425642134531 · 24/11/2020 20:26

On the plus side, I can think of loads of lovely places to emigrate to.

category12 · 24/11/2020 20:35

"Sorry, drunk texted the wrong person."

discodave88 · 24/11/2020 20:42

Ooo I want to know about the other half of the message 🤣🤣

Redcliff · 24/11/2020 20:53

Would you go for a drink with him? Another one who wants to know what the other half of the message says.
