“What’s the deal with drunk texting, do guys think it’s annoying when a girl texts him and she’s obviously drunk? If a guy texts me when he’s drinking and says he’s interested in me is he mostly like just trying to hook up, or does he actually like me?”

This question varies greatly from situation to situation. Drunk text interpretation is sketchy because you have to decipher what the other person is saying and once you get that you have to try and figure out what they mean. Everyone knows thereās absolutely no worse feeling than waking up hung-over, grabbing your phone and seeing three unanswered texts in conversations that you prompted.

If you do wake up to this predicament, donāt worryā¦right away. There are a few things to check if you had a late night, less than sober text session. The first thing to check is to see if you double, or triple texted (texted multiple times without him answering). Thereās a solid chance if he stopped answering abruptly that he couldnāt understand what you were saying / he wasnāt amused with your texts. A quick apology can clear this up, but donāt belabor the fact. If you are interested in him beyond this exchange, you want this to blow over quickly. So send him a āSorry last night got crazy!ā or something along those lines and let it go. Thereās also a pretty good possibility your texting partner might have zonked out for the night before he could answer so feel it out if you arenāt sure. But for the most part, if he is answering you and they arenāt one word responses, then you arenāt annoying him. If you start to see your texts be less coherent try and refrain from texting him!

Now to if he decides to discuss his actual feelings for you, regardless of what he texts, I would take it with a grain of salt until you could talk about it sober. Sometimes a guy finally has the confidence to turn a flirty text into a confession of feelings when he has a few drinks in him. For the most part though, any drunk text you get from a guy you can assume he hasnāt thought much past later that night. There is a very short frame of reference in a guys mind when heās been drinking. So if a guy says heās interested, you can say with certainty that he is at least interested for meeting up after the bars. For anything longer than that, Iād suggest bringing up the texts sober and see how it goes!
