Drunk talk

LegacyUser

Been seeing a guy for the last 5 months.

I love him. He says he loves me.

At the weekend, we were out and about. Had a few drinks. He was drunk.

We started talking about us. He said that he thought I was fantastic and that he thinks that we are at a stage already to move in together.

Have to admit I was both happy and terrified at the same time.

I didnt say anything but was smiling etc. He feel asleep!

Anyways, yesterday, he didnt say anything at all, and was quite a grumpy old sod all day.

I didnt say anything to him about what he had said. I dunno whether to bring it up or not. Didnt know that he felt like that. Or maybe it was drink talk. Im 27, hes 33.

Sounds like the Dutch courage helped him say something that he wanted to say, but was afraid to say.

This isn't to say he definitely feels that way with 100% confidence in it (maybe he partly feels that way, but also has concerns), but it's probably not a million miles from how he feels.

I think the medical term for this condition is "Dying of a Hangover"

But yeah, I'm sure he only said something he wanted to say but was afraid to. Sometimes the booze is good for something. I would definitely mention it to him and see what he says. I'm sure he would be delighted to move in.

Drunk talk is a funny one. Sometimes drunk talk says exactly what you want to say, it just gives you the courage, Other times, it heightens your euphoria and makes you 100% certain of something when in the sober light you're actually not all that certain. And other times it makes you say something only maginally related to what you want to say.

For example, I recall telling one of my gf's mates after a few too many that, "If she wasn't living in London, we'd be married by now". Sober, that's complete bull****. That was my drunken mind's way of saying that I'm comfortable with the idea, even looking forward to it eventually, and not that I wanted to actually be married.

Bring it up with him. He'll either go wide-eyed and panic/laugh, or he'll admit that yeah, he thinks it's a good idea. IF you think it's a good idea, then there's no reason not to say it to him (assuming it's a resonable feat for you to move in together).

Yep, leave the drink to one side and have the "I think I love you, wanna share my space?" talk. Either way, you'll know what the story is.

Best of luck with it.
