Send something silly and say it reminded you of them: “I just saw a dog that looked EXACTLY like Bud. Or. . . they were the same color at least. Anyway, I thought of you 🙃” Text them a funny thought you just had about them: “Ok u know what I just thought about. If you moved to Montana. You would be Hannah from Montana. Woah. 🤯” Or, go for a friendly, over-the-top greeting. Throw in a couple extra letters to give the impression that you’ve been drinking: “heyyyy 😜”
Send a text that mentions a bar or pub: “OMG…Deepti left her phone at the last bar. I’ll text you in a sec 🤠” Casually mention that there’s a drink close by: “You know how you always make fun of me for spilling everything??? I just got red wine on my new sneakers 😥”
“Omg!!!! You should totally meet us out! 🤩🤩” “Wooooooow, I can’t believe you’re seriously staying in on a Friday night. Boring! 🥳” “Hahahaha omg. I have the funniest story to tell you. Hold on, let me type it out 😂”
“So anyway, how have you beem? 😇” You could also let autocorrect do the job for you. Type out a message with closed eyes, then fix all the words but one: “So ate you going out tonight?” If one of your “typos” is major, make sure you send a correction: “Sorry, I meant: So *are…" A drunk person might accidentally send the wrong word—but with a big error, they’d probably notice their mistake and clarify.
Send a “drunk” selfie. The classic drunk selfie photo is from a low angle and features closed eyes, a soft smile, and a peace sign. Or, send a blurry or dark photo of something your drunk self would be excited to share with your ex—for instance, a TV screen with their fav show. Or, if you actually are out with a friend, send a silly photo or video of your pal waving to your ex. Send a message, too: “Sheena says helloooooo 🤓”
Send a lighthearted denial to make your ex laugh: “Me, drunk?? Just drunk on life, man 😎” Or, get a little playfully defensive: “I am NOT. You take that back. You’re drunk. 😤” Send a message that insists you’re not as drunk as you seem: “Hahah noooo. Not drunk. A little tipsy maybe, I’ll give you that 😂”
“Sooooooo…how have you been? Has everything been good with you since we last spoke?” “I guess I wanted to check on you. 🤓🤓 Like, did you end up getting that promotion??" “You know who I really miss…ur dog. How is little Sammy? 🐕”
Ask them if they’re still single: “I have to ask…are you dating someone??? I thought I might’ve seen something on IG. ” Ask them something you’ve been curious about: “Well. . . I’m just going to come right out and say it. Do you ever still think about me ?” Ask if they’d ever want to hook up again: “Okay, question. Would you ever wanna hang out, you know, casually again?? 😉” Get clarity on a question you have about your past relationship: “Hey. U know what I’m thinking about…what exactly happened with us?”
Share something kind about your ex that you’ve been thinking about: “Hey. You were really good 2 me. Thank you for that. Seriously :))" Confess that you miss your ex: “You know what. . . Lowkey, I rly miss you. 😥"[2] X Research source Let them know that you want to get back together: “I sometimes think about getting back together, tbh. Do you??"
Let your ex know that you’re going to bed or that your phone is going to die: “I’m getting sooooo sleepy. I’m gonna go hit the hay. 😴” If you’re hoping that these “drunk” texts will lead to more conversation between you two, mention that you want to talk more tomorrow. “I’ll talk to you tomorrow!!! By then I’ll probably regret half of what I said tonight, hahah. Talk then :)”
“Hahaha, wow! I really let it fly last night. Last time I mix my alcohols 🙄 Sorry about that…” “Wow. I bet I was a really engaging, dignified conversationalist last night, huh 😍 My bad, haha. ” “Omg…I’m so embarrassed. I hope you can forgive me!”
“I’m too scared to look at my texts from last night…How bad were they? 🥺” “Were you drinking last night too?? I’d hate to think you had to soberly deal with those messages…😓” “Did those messages take you by surprise? Lol”
“Also…I know I said a lot last night. We can talk more about that whenever you want (if you want). ” “I know what I said last night might’ve been unexpected. I don’t want to leave you hanging or anything. You can let me know if you have questions!” “I just finally dared to look back at what I said—oof. Let me know if you need me to clarify anything, haha”
