Never dial drunk — you know, making that 2 AM call for whatever the reason. Here’s how to keep yourself from hating yourself in the morning. This problem of drunk dialing is that it walks the tightrope of a booty call. As such, we are not only posting the link to “Shine” that recently addressed the problem of drunk dialing, but also a terrific video link that you won’t want to miss.
Regarding drunk dialing — on “Shine” the Yahoo Relationships Community, Erin Flaherty gave her opinion and then asked for members suggestions. The one I liked best fell in line with my simple “don’t” thinking.
- To avoid making that “I know I’m drunk but I need you call” — don’t drink.
- To avoid the problem of “make-up sex” — don’t fight.
- To solve the problem of whether or not you are being told the truth — Don’t give the benefit of the doubt. (You know you have already seen the red flags that he or she was lying.)
Whenever you wonder if you should or you shouldn’t — there is usually a voice inside screaming,”If you need to think twice, then in your heart of hearts you know what you are about to do is a bad move, especially if it is going to damage your credibility, your values, your morals.” Therefore, stop rationalizing and grow up.
When you are alone and sad and drinking — Don’t touch that dial.
1. For cell phones — delete his or her number. (No one remembers phone numbers these days, so once you delete it, it will be too much trouble to find it again.)
2. For land lines — tie a big string around the phone and add a double knot. Tape a large piece of paper that says: DON”T TOUCH THAT DIAL. How to keep yourself from dialing drunk
