Are Drunk Words Really Sober Thoughts?

“We should Elope.”

After 4 beers, two shots and one cocktail — I got a phone call from A.

“Babe, I’m a little tipsy.”

He went to a work function that had an open bar but has a rule to never get drunk at work. I like this rule because he’s already a talker, and when he gets drunk he talks 10 times more and there isn’t a filter.

“Not tipsy enough to not know any better but a few more drinks could send me to drunk town.”

I knew this was him saying it’s unsafe to drive. He sent me his location and I closed my laptop and turned off my podcast and went to go pick him up from where he was not too far from me.

He gets in the car and the first thing he says to me is “You know what, I’m so happy to have found you. I don’t deserve you.” Which is a complete red flag. Right? “I don’t deserve the love you give — but maybe I do. Maybe this is what it all leads up to. You’re my dream girl, literally everything I could ask for. Everything I want.”

I don’t say anything back, because at this point. I’m listening. “We should elope. Just say fuck it and get married, I want you to be my wife.”

Our families haven’t met yet so I know this one was a stretch, but the context of how he feels is there.
