So my crush, in response to a text I sent her, sent this: aww ♥ you're so fucking adorable, I can't stop thinking about you. Cute right? Except she was drunk. So what does this mean? Drunk words equal sober thoughts? Should I ask her about it or just let it go?
GiddyGeezer answered Monday May 12 2014, 12:01 am: Oh, for Heaven's sake just ask her out! The worst that can happen is she will say no. As it is you're not dating her anyway so nothing would change. On the other hand she might be like you and waiting for some sign from the heavens! Imagine you're 90 years old and you don't have all this time to waste. You'd go for it then I'll bet !Good luck!

Many of us have known people who struggle to express their feelings and emotions in a normal state of mind but are much more open when under the influence. Don't get me wrong, I would never advocate getting hammered or high to express oneself, or for any reason for that matter. But with that being said, I would certainly not outright dismiss the text.
rainhorse68 answered Sunday May 11 2014, 10:20 am: I'd definitely not let it go completely. Up to a point alcohol can serve to reduce and remove our inhibitions. It liberates us in a way and we are far more likely to say (and do!) things we lack the confidence and certainty to say or do when we're sober. It gives us the proverbial 'Dutch Courage', you might have heard the term? If she was with a group of drunken friends they might have egged her on to play a prank of course (cruel, but those inhibitions and our conscience desert us a bit when ratted, as we've discussed.) After a point the booze will tend to deny you your motor-functions (can't walk straight, fall over etc) and at this point anything we say tends to be total nonsense. If she typed the text correctly, and picked you as the correct recipient (hopefully it WAS meant for you??) and sent it she probably wasn't completely hammered. Leaving either 1. a prank, or 2. the booze gave her the Dutch Courage to say what she wants to say sober. There's only one way to find out my friend...you're gonna HAVE to follow it up. If she's got NO MEMORY of sending it at all, bad luck...she was totally hammered and probably hit the right keys/touchpanels 'on auto-pilot' because she uses the phone such a lot. Follow it up in any case man. Nothing to lose...everything to gain! [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]

Sorry, sorry...
It seems a wonderful opportunity has been presented to you.
Ask her ask her ask her ask her ask her
Drunkness = usually sober thoughts...
People blame drunkness on acting mean... well they just aren't repressing things that they think should be repressed!
YOU neeeeeeeed to ask her about it- maybe start tactfully, jokingly like "So you thought I was cute last night huh?"
Otherwise, if you let it go you'll always be wondering what might have happened.
Otherwise... you might not get another perfect opportunity.
Good luck~ [ soph0900's advice column | Ask soph0900 A Question ]
