Sent a drunk message. I need to emigrate

[Whyohwhydididothat]

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 .

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.

@cakeandchampagne

This has made my day, op. We’ve all been there. That’s ma for making the rest of us feel (slightly) less insane!

I looked. Part of the reason why it fizzled out is because he was not the best at messaging and keeping in contact so I couldn’t help but assume I annoyed him and he wanted me to piss off and I wasn’t getting the hint.

Anyway, in earlier message I mentioned the fact that I always felt I was getting on his nerves and annoying him. He said that I never annoy him and that he was sorry for being shit at messaging

I feel like a tit.

So are you going to see him again? 😇

I think that sounds like quite a nice reply from him.

🤣🤣 If you don't actually want to start anything again with him just send the wine emoji, he'll understand!

I kind of do want to go for a drink with him. He can be a bit dull but we do have a lot of common interests.

And I can’t believe I’m admitting this, I told one of my mates this and she has been laughing since. He’s a dead ringing for Lord Farquaad in Shrek. I always fancied Lord Farquaad . I’m aware he’s animated and not the usually tastes...

I need to go to bed



Love this so much lol

Lol that didn't work - was meant to post a pic of the irresistible Lord Farquaad

He must like you to respond, and ask you for a drink. The last time I did that, the other person texted me back an excruciatingly polite message and hoped I had a good weekend. Nothing is worse than that.

Hahaha this is brilliant! Go for the drink with Lord Farquhard!!!

For future reference, if you want to read his message without him seeing you’ve read it - put your phone on flight mode!

OHMYGOD you’re going to marry him and we are all going to be your bridesmaids 😂

Stick some water and painkillers next to your bed, delete WhatsApp, burn your phone and go to bed. It'll be like it never happened.

I did this about five years ago. The bloke was 'ok'.

It was a turning point for me. I decide to never try again. never chase. If there was to be any romance, any love, any connection, it had to come to ME.

So. It was all for the best I swear. I had to think hard to remember the guy's name as well!

See how you feel in the morning, but maybe go for the drink? (Kamikaze advice here - a little drunk myself.....)

Here we go

You have got such a great self deprecating sense of humour l am not surprised he wants to meet up again.
Hey, most of us have done similar with much worse outcomes.

Anyway, in earlier message I mentioned the fact that I always felt I was getting on his nerves and annoying him. He said that I never annoy him and that he was sorry for being shit at messaging.

Well, even if you don't go for a drink with him that actually sounds like a nice bit of closure. It was a nice reply anyway. No harm, no foul OP.

OP we've all been there LOL if it makes you feel any better mine wasn't a drunk text though I was having a stressful time at work with a demanding manager who was pressuring me to do overtime when they weren't willing to do it themselves. I suffer anxiety and after a shit day I sent a venting/ranting text to my friend and somehow copied the area manager into the text! he called me straight away I was mortified but thankfully he was lovely about it and was more concerned about me than the text he asked if I was ok and let me vent and said we'll say no more about it although he did joke about it at times with me he never once said a word to anyone! Now when I send text messages I triple check the sender before hitting send LOL

Just placemarking because I want to be here for the follow-up wedding thread...

😂😂😂😂

Meeting him for a drink and falling into a relationship would be so romantic. 💕

You know what would be even more romantic?

Forgiving yourself the twitty drunk text and moving on to someone appropriate for you.

Fgs don't shag him. 😂

But he sounds nice, just not very good at sending text messages? Not everyone is.
