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.

@ilovepixie

I once sent a 'naughty photo' of myself to my boss my mistake!

you win!! that beats my venting/ranting text to my boss LOL did your boss reply to the naughty photo?

He looks like my ex! You're welcome!

Made my day!!

to my boss LOL did your boss reply to the naughty photo?

He did the next day at work! Saying never ever do that again 😂😂

Is this him, OP?

There are apps you can download which block certain contacts for like, 12 hours or so for just this purpose!!! To stop you drunk texting them. Definitely download it, then forgive yourself and move on. We’ve all been there, it’s fine 👍

@ilovepixie LOL well it could have been worse I suppose, what did you say to that?

Lord Farquard - 😂😂😂😂 this is gold!

When you say he looks like lord farquad does that mean in real life he looks like Mickey Flanagan a bit? Coz I’d do him

Ha ha sleep well OP, it will all seem better in the morning 💐

I needed this tonight! Thank you 😂

Aw how lovely!

Being ignored does funny things to me

Me too! Communication is important to me too & I can see why you broke up over it. It’s tiresome waiting on replies - dull & anxiety provoking.

Can I just honestly say that I don’t think there was anything embarrassing about your message? You were upfront about your emotions! Hurrah! More of us should be - if a man was in your position he’d literally be described as direct & upfront, not in need of an urgent flight to Costa Rica!

Please Keep us updated OP (& please remember you’re allowed feelings & you’re allowed to express them).

Go for the drink, he sounds nice.

Once, about 7 years ago when I was absolutely battered I randomly sent a photo of my legs seductively crossed in sheer black tights to a sort of friend I'd been having an on off hook up thing with for ages. Except there was nothing seductive about my brightly lit energy saving living room bulb, my heels had fallen off, and there were dirty dishes and a half eaten slice of pizza in the background. We were definitely in a 'let's just be friends' phase, and it was never acknowledged, replied to or spoken of again. Not even to this day.

I thought this traumatic event had been wiped from memory but no...

🤣 go for the drink OP. I have done things I still cringe over 20 years ago drunk. Even while pissed as a fart I was screaming to myself inside "just shut up now! Please God shut up"

Mostly I have learned from it. It will be a good story to tell. Just give it 20+ years and you laugh while you cringe.

I texted a guy saying I really wanted to kiss him & he replied saying ‘yeah me too but I have a bad cold.’

I didn’t even like him particularly! He wasn’t my type physically and he was as boring as a sack of spuds.

I do kind of want to go for a drink with him

😂😂😂

I don’t know what’s worse...

The fact that I drunk text somebody who I promised myself I wouldn’t contact again or that I’ve admitted to the whole of Mumsnet I have the hots for Lord Farquaad 😳

At least I didn’t send sexy pictures to my boss. Then I really would be emigrating! I feel for you pp.

In the cold light of day I remember how frustrated I used to get at the lack of communication and that he was always so wishy washy with everything. Unfortunately being ignored is a sure fire way to get my attention. Ffs brain

I’m going to go with the pretending this never happened and sticking my fingers in my ears while singing lalalalala every time my brain decides to think of this incident again!

Thank you everyone! You’ve cheered me up tremendously!

Read the whole thread...

And op, you've still not confirmed if you're going for that drink, or if you've replied?

Dying to know what will happen in the next installment!

Haha, excellent. Are you going for that drink? :)

I think you should go and see him!

You know it makes you think all this messing around with assuming and with letting it fizzle, perhaps we should be more direct.

You told him straight up how you felt and he apologised and asked you out.

I think that's quite nice.

Ha ha ha ha ha, so funny we've all done it with the "oh world swallow me now"

Come on what else did he say

Tell him it's lockdown loopy-lou-ness with added wine if you feel the need to explain yourself or go for that drink and carry on in the soppy sentiment and see how he handles that.
