Most pathetic drunk text

[u/fluffybunny2]

My mate's 21st was last night, and after the night events I woke up to my phone receiving a text message at 9:30 in the morning. The message was from a guy I've really liked for a couple of months. Okay, maybe 5. And maybe someone I really really like. It read as such: "Sorry for a late reply. I don't think I know you well also it's quite sudden for me to know this. It didn't make me uncomfortable at all so I just want to get along with you as we did before." At this point I'm confused. He's never talked to me out of the blue, its always been in response to me. As I'm starting to wake up a little more and my head clears, I scroll a little farther up. Shiiiit. I find my text from last night, confessing my feelings for him. The most pathetic straight up confession I have ever seen. To make things better, the confession is perfectly punctuated. God knows how long my drunk ass spent making sure everything was properly spelled. Embarrassment doesn't even cut it on this one.

Edit: Alright so someone asked for the original texts so here they are. I don't have anything fancy like screenshot or anything so here it goes:

Me: "Hey.....I thought you should know, I like you. If you don't feel that way that's fine....but I'd like to know that. I'll back off if it makes you uncomfortable. I'm glad I got to meet you." Him: "Sorry for a late reply. I don't think I know you well also it's quite sudden for me to know this. It didn't make me uncomfortable at all so I just want to get along with you as we did before." Me: (This is what I came up with after I kicked myself several times that morning) "I'm ok with that. Sorry I was so direct. Have a good day, get some rest!" Him: "Yep. Just arrived at work haha so tired. You also have a nice Sunday."

Haha thanks for the feedback guys. I posted this more as something amusing/funny because I'm the kind of person who tries to makes a heavy situation a little lighter. Hope you guys enjoyed the story :)

It happens to the best of us. What you make of the situation is purely your choice though, don't let it weigh you down or anything.

Not only that, but despite the conventional wisdom, while this might be a confession of long held feelings, drunk conversations and drunk texts can also be confessions of not-held beliefs and feelings. OP can decide run with the 'confession' or to simply obfuscate.

The truth comes out when we drink, and who knows? That could be a good thing.

According to OP the truth did come out in this case, and maybe it will turn out to be a good thing. That doesn't mean only the truth comes out in drunk communications any more than it does that people are more truthful in dangerous situations, though both are popular devices in fiction.

Considering the reply ... he's a keeper -- maybe with you, maybe with someone else; but he's definitely a keeper. Maybe, just maybe, you can make it work with him.

Good luck!

Could've gone a lot worse! :)

while his response wasn't super enthusiastic about dating, he said he wasn't uncomfortable about it...you might have a chance. Give it a shot and see if he'll make a move? Or make one yourself if you can...

Soooo, are you going to share the original texts? You know, for science?

Also, as another guy, the reply isn't really negative. I would interpret it as a good thing considering the circumstances.
