kellyp1 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 What is the typical follow up to a drunk dial? I have found the only times I do it are usually because something is on my mind so much that I can't take it. Do you apologize, hide out, pretend like it didn't happen? I had a good one last night, didn't say anything too embarassing but definately took an agressive stance with the guy I am dating. Would love to hear some good drunk dial stories and the follow up.
Angelina1433 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Okay I have a horrid one - One night after dating a guy for several years off and on, we had a couple of bottles of wine and a fabulous evening (use your imagination). Then I didn't hear from him for a week. I was 24, so it seemed like an eternity then. So one night my girlfriends and I went out, and had a lot to drink. I got back to my friend's house and decided to call him... I proceeded to profess my undying love and how I felt betrayed. Mind you, it was about 3 a.m. and I woke him up. I can still hear him saying, "it's late, I'll call you tomorrow." Well, he didn't call me. And that was the end. I felt like a complete idiot!! For a couple of years, I left a post-it note on my phone with the acronyms "DDWD". Don't dial while drunk Live and learn, right? I've seen him since, and apologized. But we never dated again. I hear he's married
ms. biz Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 If it is someone I'm dating (usually the case), I call back when I know they are not home and leave a message saying something real casual like "hey, um, I'm not positive but I THINK I MAY HAVE called you last night when I was totally plastered, or maybe I dreamed it but if I did, sorry and I hope I didn't say anything too wierd (insert casual chuckle). Then I hide out. mine always call back a week or two later and pretend like it never happened.
Rosalind Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 <--------guilty of of drunk dialing But only to tell the ex how I HATED him, after the lying and cheating. Also guilty of 'drunkin emails' just to confrm what a bottom feeder he is. Next moring I would always regret it - got kinda scared...what if this is kinda viewed and harrasemt or stalking?...I don't want to get into trouble
rookie416 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Yeah you gotta love drunk dialing....telling guys that you love them and others that you hate them. I called my ex ...when i hadn't talked to him in months...he totally blew me off, made me feel stupid and hung up on me...and the next day i felt like a jackass...luckily i dont see him often at all! But what goes around comes around because a few weeks ago it was 3 am and i was laying in the bed with my new man and my phone rings....my ex...drunk...i told him where to go and felt a bit of satisfaction as i hung up....
SoftDrink Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 i drunk-dialed a stranger and yelled at him, screaming that i could sleep with whoever i want whenever i want and it was none of his business, he didn't own me and i owed him nothing. he called the next day to ask who i was to see if he knew me, and i was like "um, no..." i checked my outgoing calls and there it was...6 minutes of total memory loss. i have no clue who i was trying to call. at least the guy had a sense of humour about it. i might not have been so forgiving to being woken at 3am by an angry, defiant prankster!
Rosalind Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 You drunk-dialed a total stranger and blasted him with both barrels? I'm going pee my pants - I can't stop laughing...*wipes away tears*

whichwayisup Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Okay, so what is the excuse if there was NO BOOZE involved?? Years and years ago I did the "call" or should I say "calls". I guess PMS or the emotions took over. Drunken calls atleast you can defend yourself better...Guess I could have pleaded brokenhearted emotional instanity???
Author kellyp1 Posted July 23, 2005 Author Posted July 23, 2005 Well, I guess it is nice to see that I am in good company. I did one a few years ago where I dropped the L-bomb to a guy I was far from being in love with. He was afraid to tell me but it came out a couple of weeks later when he realized that I did not remember the conversation. I felt pretty dumb. I decided to take the apology route on the drunk dial. And kick his a$$ to the curb at the same time. Drunk dials sometimes equal clarity.
ms. biz Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 That's the ONLY way to play it if you want them to forgive it. Also, the post-it note on the phone( Do not dial when drunk!) works too.
seabiscuit Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 this is the funnest post because im drunk right now. and i am defiantly guilty of d&d (what my friends and me call it) i wonder if i leave my phone number how many people would D&D me? let me now on that.
