Most embarassing recent moment

I did one of the most horribly embarassing things I've ever done this weekend, and it's still bothering me. There's a guy who's kind of a FWB, and I kind of got drunk and told him I hve a serious crush on him. A bunch of our friends were around. I didn't really pay attention to what he said, but he left shortly after this, and I proceeded to go around and tell my friends that he'd said "That's ok," when I told him I had a crush on him, (I don't think I even listened to what he actually said), and that I was leaving the bar, and collected my tab. He returned before I left and came over to say something to me, and I started harranguing him about how I really do like him and would like to hang out with him after he gets back from a vacation he left for the next day. He left immediately after that. I don't really remember what exactly was said other than what I typed here, I can't remember any of what he said at all. I called him the next day and left a message apologizing for being such a jerk the night before and saying that I was drunk and couldn't remember what was said.

Is there any way I can ever recover from this? I feel so stupid, I don't know if I can ever face him again!

I can't really get a fix on what happened because you don't remember much. Whatever that was that transpired doesn't need to be mentioned again. It might be best for you to stay a little more sober while out with the gang.

The fact is, you may not hear from him anymore and you're going to have to live with that. Move on from the situation (you've already apologized) and don't bring it up again. The larger concern should be focused on if this is a pattern for you? Do you often do/say things you regret while drinking? If the answer is yes, then you can deal with that issue. If not, then you just need to see it as a lesson learned from a mistake and not let it happen again.

So what?! It's not a big deal...you were just having a little fun and got little dumb. If you were so drunk you can't remember half the story, and he didn't recognize you to be drunk, he's dumber than you!
