She Got Wasted On A Second Date, So She’s Worried This Guy Is No Longer Interested In Her
In regards to dating etiquette, it’s best to limit the number of drinks you plan to consume while still in the getting-to-know-someone phase.
On Saturday night, this 27-year-old woman went out for a second date with a 31-year-old guy, and she got pretty wasted.
She didn’t intend to have so much to drink, but she just began taking a new medication and didn’t realize the strength of the side effects from it.
“After my second drink, I don’t remember much of what happened,” she explained. “We started the night at a bar, just the two of us, and were having a great time—laughing and sharing stories. But after I ordered a third drink, things went downhill.”
“His friend came to pick us up for dinner, and that’s when I started acting way too drunk. I took his friend’s vape and started vaping inside the restaurant, and it clearly upset his friend, who was sober.”
“I apologized, and while my date was laughing it off and telling me it was okay, I could tell his friend was annoyed. I eventually stopped once I realized what was going on, but I don’t remember what I was saying throughout the night, only bits of what I did.”
His friend got up to smoke outside, and she jumped up from her seat as well, wanting to follow him. It was at that moment she noticed she was anything but fine.
When dinner was over, she and her date headed to a club, where she continued to drink even though she realized she was having a tough time.
She can’t even tell you what they talked about while at the club, and they carried on a conversation all night long.
They began making out, went back to his place, and she slept with him. The following morning, he was aloof and cold, as if he was no longer interested in her. She also worried that he lost all respect for her after what happened the night before.
A day later, she texted him an apology, and he said it was no big deal. They carried on with a bit of chit-chat, and he was giving her curt answers. She asked him if he wanted to attend a concert with her, but he stated he’s heading out of town.
“I replied with a comment about him being better off out of town because of the hurricane (we’re in Florida), but he left me on read,” she added.
“I’m not super offended by being left on read, especially since he had just mentioned going out of town. But I did notice he didn’t follow me back on Instagram, and I also [saw] that he unmatched me on Hinge.”
“Still, I feel terrible about how I acted. If he doesn’t reach out over the weekend, I’m thinking about apologizing again because I’m really shaken by the whole thing. I’ve never felt like that while drunk before—like I had no control over what I was doing or saying.”
She feels humiliated, and she knows mixing alcohol with her medication is what got her into a bad state. She’s left wondering if she should keep texting him or move on.
What advice do you have for her?
