KEY POINTS:
So we were discussing the perils of drunk texting last week, when someone left this comment on the blog.
Turns out, it's the same lassie who emailed me earlier in the year, lusting after her flatmate.
"Me and the flatties went out to celebrate uni
mid-semester. All was going great and we were all extremely drunk and having an awesome time. Then me and the flatmate in question started flirting and play fighting etc. as you do when you're drunk.
"Well, we ended up headin' home and having a great debate about whose bed is more comfortable and who's looking forward to bed the most (seemed like a logical argument at the time) and I ended up getting a text saying my bed is soooooo much more comfortable.
"Long story short, we both ended up admitting we like each other but were both far too shy to say or do anything. Now I don't know if I should bring it up, talk about it or completely forget about it."
Oh bella, what a pickle!
At least now you know it's not one-sided.
But you raise an interesting point - one that has plagued my friends and I for years - if someone says something while under the influence, does it count? Is it true?
Some would argue alcohol is a veritable truth serum, making people say what they really think.
While this may be true in some situations, I've heard an awful lot of crap come out the mouths of drunk people so I don't really subscribe to the theory.
But then, if saying 'I was drunk' is not an acceptable excuse for bad behaviour, it shouldn't be an excuse to discount good behaviour - or secret confessions.
So, where does that leave you?
On the one hand, you don't want to make a big deal about it.
On the other, if you say nothing, he might take it that you're not interested and back off.
In an ideal world, you would have a mature, rational conversation about what happened and discuss the possibility of furthering your relationship.
But unless you're living in a parallel universe to me, one where Dawson's Creek is a real place, I really don't see that happening.
So let me just pass on some advice of what NOT to do - from the personal files of tragic Blonde moments.
*Do not get drunk and throw yourself at him. Especially if he is sober.
*Do not get drunk and insist you "talk".
*Do not get drunk and cry.
If anyone has some more sage words of wisdom, now is the time to pass them on...
Also, what are your thoughts on drunk confessions? Should you take heed of them or write them off as drunken ramblings?
