So my plan last week was to stay away from the bars so that I wouldn't do the drunk dialing... LOL. My plan worked last week. But last night, since it was a wednesday, I went out to karaoke...

And didn't drunk dial.. but sent a text message to Alan at 10 pm. ... drunk texting, i guess. He didn't text back right away and I felt STUPID. However, he tried to call back at 11:30 pm and left a nice message. He said, "I got your message and I'm calling back. Sorry it's late. I guess I'll talk to ya later" (or something like that). So, the fact that he acknowledged how late it was and that he was courteous enough to call back was a good thing. Unfortunately, I was singing when he called so I didn't get to answer. And since it was late I didn't call him back.... I was going home at that point, too. Not that I wanted to see him last night, but I wanted to see if he was still interested in dinner... And normally, I would wait patiently (ya right) for him to call me, but like I said... drunk texting. Even though, I was saying to myself before I sent the text message... "don't do it, don't do it". then, I did it. lol

In other news, I was able to share some of the great wisdom that I've learned on this board with my friend (26, female, never married, no kids). Remember she came to the party with me on Saturday. And she met someone and they went out on Sunday. BUT when I spoke to her last night, she told me about how smothering/pushy he was. And that he only talked about sex. She wasn't interested in that (she definately takes relationships too seriously for casual sex)...So I told her what you all have told me... That if a guy talks about sex and pushes for it so early on.. then, most likely it is NOT going to develop into a serious relationship. He'll only call for booty calls, then move on to a new fling. And I told her, "you just met him, you don't owe him an explanation like 'it's not working out'...just tell him 'no' the next time he asks you out." She took my advice and then babysat for me last night. Woo hoo.

So what do you all think.... I didn't mess up with Alan because of the drunk texting, did I? BTW, the message I sent was "Whatcha doing?". I suppose that was better than "watcha wearing?"...lol.

WHOA...I sincerely hope gypsy's comment was from a funny vein....

In any case, I don't think you messed it up. He was obviously up and received the message. It seems like he was even interested in the random message, plus he was nice about it so I'd just relax and let it go :) Plus, if a guy can't handle one tiny little message then what good is he anyway! ;)

I laughed out loud at the last line- too funny!!

At least with drunk texting you have the benefit of him not hearing your voice, so he won't know you were drunk.

I think since he called back, it's a good sign. Don't apologize for the text when you do call him, but don't make a habit of it, either. He should call you.

Also, Do NOT tell him you were drunk. He doesn't need to know that, since he might think you only want to talk to him when you're drunk. Not good unless it's the truth.

Have fun, keep us posted!

I believe that all of us have real problems to contend with. When a post- whether it's a question, comment, rant, problem, or celebration- doesn't interest me, or I have no useful insight to share with the original poster, I simply don't respond to that thread.

Sometimes it's nice to realize that as women we can all experience different things in life, and be there for each other whether we're sharing prenatal baby pics, lamenting the end of a relationship, commenting on our difficulties with our children, or excited about a first date with a new man. Thses things are all a part of life. Maybe not a part of everyone's at this very moment, but knowing others are there for us is why we visit this board.

I hope you feel free to share whatever your real problems are with us, since I like to think this is a welcoming board.

Moody, feeling the love

I drunk dial a guy friend of mine from college nearly everytime I am drunk. He has a special ring for me so he always knows when I call his cell drunk. I am guessing his new girlfriend wouldn't approve. He is quite sweet about the whole thing and always calls the next morning to make sure I am alive.

And to the gypsy poster. For some peole this is a serious issue to contend with. What if my drunk dial buddy's girlfriend gets upset and I have to find a new drunk dial buddy. Then I would be out a husband, a friend with benefits, and my drunk dial buddy. That would be very sad. Everyone sees and deals with issues in their own way and that is why we use the board. It is safe.

Good point! I think we have all been there on more than one occasion. All it takes is a crush and a few beers. And a cell phone.

LOL, oh yes, I'm sure we've all been there!!

I think a great invention would be a mobile phone with a type of breathalyser attached. The phone would unlock only after you breathe into the attached breathalyser, and have zero booze in your bloodstream, thus enabling you to avoid drunk dialling.

That would have saved me a whole lot of embarrassment in my younger days... I cringe just thinking about a couple of particularly humiliating incidents! Ah well, it's all part of the learning curve I guess ;o))
