I was just going to ask for some advice on what to do... Since the NS forum is a seemingly annonymus place. Anyhow, I went to a party on friday (something I don't normally do) Then drank about five shots more than I should have and then professed my love to my crush, and then almost threw up on his shoes.

Umm... What should I do? Should I talk to him? or should I just give up?

... I'm lost.

Firstly, what did you drink?

Five shots of 151, two of tequilla, and one whiskey

Talk to him. Can't hurt more then it is now.

Secondly then, never mix any drinks. Stick to one.

And thirdly, say your sorry and continue on your quest. ;-)

Thanks for the advice.
Yea, been there, done that.. I would know.

It was so embarassing. I don't think he even had a clue that I liked him.

I did that to a girl once, I was completely drunk, had no fuking clue what i was doing, and told her i liked her. Didnt really throw up on her, but politely went a meter or so away. Ended up with her for a couple months before something something else happened and it ended.

Just apologize and talk. Can't hurt more than it already does, can it?

... I'm lost.
Odds on - so is he. After all, what's he supposed to do? That confusion may be useful to you.

Are you on good terms with any of his friends/does he speak regularly with any of yours? They might have useful advice.

As you're clearly still interested in him, why not start by apologising 'for embarrassing you'? If you blame the drunkenness on a stressful week, you both make it clear that you don't normally do this and hint that you could use some comfort.

Oh, most guys have at some point in their lives decided to ask a girl out, had a drink to 'calm their nerves', had another as still nervous etc....implying that you had planned to ask him out but overdrank from nervousness is something he should understand and find flattering.

Oh, make sure you think of a neutral topic (or three) that the two of you can discuss, should you run into an arkward pause.

Good luck! (More power to any girl who'll actively pursue a guy she wants!)

As surprising as it is for an anarchist to say so, alcohol can be a dangerous thing. You should be more careful next time.

first of all dont drink 151 proof. its only use is to kill you.
dont mix alcohol. just dont. its not classy and it give you a wicked hangover eh?

do you KNOW this guy? if he is otherwise a friend (who you have a crush on) go up to him bold as brass and explain that you ALWAYS puke on the shoes of guys you like.

the secret it out, the only way to redeem the situation is to make sure he knows it wasnt just the booze talking and that you arent REALLY just a sloppy drunk skank.

I have to agree with Asmoria's advice. It's a hell of an ice breaker but here you are. It opens the door to you contacting him. Who knows what he'll come back with. You may be pleasantly surprised.

:eek: Over how much time? You may have been lucky just to have throw up - I know people who've had their stomachs pumped at the ER with less booze in their systems... :(

As for damage control, The Holy Palatinate, Tuesday, and the others who said apologise and talk have it right on. Good luck! :)

Doesn't surprise me at all, as a large part of Anarchism is about personal responsibility. :D

Ahh... actually that's more like 12.5 shots. :eek:

Hmm...I'm not an anarchist, but I don't drink for reasons of personal responsibility. :confused:


EDIT: Misplaced modifier. For reason of personal responsibility, I don't drink...


I suppose it'd also be interesting to note that I'm an 18 year old college kid...

Same here.

And to the original poster. That's definately a good ice breaker for calling them up and apologizing. They'll most likely remember you, and you could probably laugh with him about it. Give you a funny story to talk about.

Secondly: Anyone who drinks and claims they don't have bad memories about Tequilla is a liar. NEVER touch tequilla.
Third: 151 gives a very weird form of drunk. You don't notice that you're drunk, but you can't do anything, and it's the only thing other than Vodka that's ever given me a hangover. I'm allergic to Vodka, meaning one shot will have me face-down in the toilet vomitting, and I'll probably black out once I'm done with that. Therefore, 151 is not safe.
Fourth: If you absolutely MUST mix drinks, remember- liquor before beer, in the clear. Beer before liquor, never sicker. As in, do the mixed drinks and the hardest stuff first, then move on to something weak and stick with it. Still avoid mixing drinks if at all possible.

As for your main question: Don't regret what you say when they're likely to forgive you. It's often the most honest things you'll ever say to someone, and half the time it needs to be said. I owe more than one friendship to their knowing that I wasn't able to make up any bullshit when telling them what I wanted to say. If you stand a chance at all, this will tell.
Then again, if you'd rather let it linger, then you should apologize. But remember that HE will never forget.

For reason of personal responsibility, I don't drink...

You never cease to dissapoint me, Opal.

Next time try mixing grain alcohol and gatoraid; that'll do you right.

I dissapoint you because I don't need a dangerous substance to entertain me?

It would seem so.

Bravo, OI.

I myself have but one bad memory involving tequila, but that may have had more to do with a few hits of LSD that I took before I started drinking it. And I am not lying... tq has always been good to me. Whiskey, however... : puking :

Don't sweat it. Now if you had gotten naked in front of him before telling him you were crushing on him...

I also don't smoke or do any drugs.


Chicks still dig me.

Tequila shots = teh win

Next time try mixing grain alcohol and gatoraid; that'll do you right.Oh I know that one, had the opposite effect on me. Sometime in the middle of the street (yes that is the correct phrasing) I told someone I had no interest in them (romantically) and why. Really rather embarassing when the hangover cleared, but a combination of being with the person and discreetly not mentioning the incident directly worked well to defuse a potential disaster.

Same.

Er, without the chicks. :(
