Does he really love me, or was he just drunk?

Question - (24 December 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 25 December 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I honestly dont know what to believe. So the guy i like and he likes me back called me the other night and he was all like ''wassup baby.'' We just talked for a while and i knew something was wrong. So i told him i'd call back later. So he started "acting" sad. So i asked why he wanted to talk so badly, and he replied saying, 'its because i love you.' He then admit he was drunk, but apparently he meant what he said and it was no joke. But then the next day he claimed he didn't remember anything.

I asked all my close friends and even his friends and they said he was being serious.

Because apparently drunk people show hidden emotions. What should i think?

Even if he was serious, Id take his words with a grain of salt and look for actions that back it up.

Alcohol is dishinibiting; it can induce you to do things you would normally restrain yourself from because of politeness, sensitivity, social appropriateness or other reasons.

The guy probably does have feelings for you somewhere deep down, but he might have been exaggerating a bit. Who knows how many girls he called that night saying the exact same thing?

A female reader, DerbyGirl19 United Kingdom +, writes (25 December 2010):

It is true that a lot of men reveal feelings while influenced by alcohol that they wouldn't have while sober. Drinking can unlock the emotional side of some men as the alcohol gives them 'Dutch Courage'. It's the same with a lot of women too.

This is not an excuse, however, for him to play with your feelings, whether he means to or not. If he truly does care for you then he should be more serious about your relationship.

Find some time when you are alone and you're both clear-minded to talk about what he said. Talking will hopefully clear things up. It could be that the alcohol did indeed give him courage to tell you the truth but if he is unwilling to have this conversation then perhaps his feelings weren't quite as serious as the alcohol made them out to be.
