In the past few days i really have made a tit of myself.

I don't know what it is but I've just come back from travelling and it seems that now whenever I get drunk I just act stupid and really embarrass myself. On holiday yeah sure i did stupid stuff whilst drunk, but only occassionally to the same levels of embarrassment.

My latest one was to do with a girl. Where i got drunk, my mates girlfriend told everyone i fancied her...including her...I then got more drunk and apparently came onto her very very strongly and it was cringeworthy. She apparently replied with..lets be mates. But i persisted.

Now what's worse is that she is the only person starting this course I'm going to that i know, and for her i think it is the same. However, now it will be embarrassing to even see her let alone be in lectures and stuff. Worse still is that she'll be looking at me wondering when the enxt time i come onto her will be. I mean how can I play nice nice friends after doing that.

I've done various other stuff in the past few days as well. I do want a girlfriend and am really home that my desperation doesn't come out every time i have a drink from now on. also as for doing stupid stuff whenever i get drunk, maybe its because life is sooo dull back home.

I know this is the usual "I got so drunk last night etc.." I know I'm going to have to just grin and bear it...but sometimes you need to talk it out with other people to make yourself feel better.

So opinions please...
 
At the end of the day you were pretty drunk and I imagine she was aware of this.

I would go and chat to her, apologise and laugh it off and I expect she will do the same and you'll be good mates for the duration of the course.
 
Next time you see her, approach and apologise.

Also, if you are constantly doing things whilst drunk that you regret, why do you keep on drinking? Perhaps you should stop drinking or at least drink less so you don't get into such a state where you'll be doing things like this again.
 
A few years ago I got really drunk at a new years eve party, took off all my clothes and fell down the stairs. It was at my best mate's family do. I can laugh at it now, just try to see the funny side.
 
If you want to avoid the embarrissing situation with the girl you came onto, best thing to do is just confront it head on and talk to her about it.

You can't help the feelings you have about her, but as long as you apologise and make it clear you acted innappropriately and more importantly that you know you did, i'm sure she'll be fine about it, and probably laugh about it.
 
Dont worry about it mate. I made a fool out of myself last night as well after a friends party have apoligised to the people involved and just putting it down to too much drink. It happens to everyone sooner or later :)
 
i was actually thinking of pretending it never happened the next time i saw her...but that doesn't appear to be the general suggestion. Maybe a passing "sorry about the other night" passing comment??

As for growing up, i never intend to. Making people laugh is my "thing" i love to do it. Maybe I should be a comedian, not a solicitor! However, i think maybe i should not be getting people to laugh AT me.

And drinking too much...that was the only occasion when i was really battered and made a tit of myself, the other times i was not that drunk. Act in a more controlled manner i certainly do agree, but give up drinking no!
 
Just walk up to her and say 'you do realise that there's no way I would have acted like that if I wasn't drunk.... (look her up and down)... I mean please I do have some standards.'

Be honest, let her know you feel a prat about it and then give her space for a short while to let her see your not a stalker!

Hey don't worry about it. Everyone can make a tit out of them selves while drunk - thats part of the fun of drinking imo :p

Never apologise, it makes you look wimp and she probably thinks you're gay. Real men never feel sorry.

I sort of agree. Do you not think bringing it up 5 days later will make it seem as if I was thinking about it for ages?

The falling down stairs naked is funny, but the looking her up and down is hilarious!!

Haha. :p

I don't see the attraction myself. It's a waste of time, effort and money and worst of all, as a tax-payer, I end up paying through the nose for all the idiots who end up using the services of the Police and the NHS. As for the OP, it's simple, don't drink because you're an idiot when drunk. Being drunk is *no* excuse for anything.
 
I have done this a few times, i find the best appoarch to have a sense of humour about it with your friends and if the girl question is still speaking to you. Say sorry its only a small gesture, you dont have to mean it but it goes a long way. Maybe be offer to buy her a drink as a way of making it up but emphasie just as a friend.

The way i stopped making a complete fool of myself was to say i can handle 4 pints or 6 bottles on a night out and no spirits. That way i am always in control and save myself a fortune
