I totally blown it guys :( - No I never! He likes me!!!

I bet this guy says the "Chunderbolt" thing to his mates at home. It must've been banter and sounds like he was trying to make a joke of it. Don't hide from him forever - he might still fancy you Ask him out for coffee and see what happens.

Sounds like he's not offended or upset at all.

Don't hide from him.


I got to know my fella through various nights of various states of inebriation. His and mine - our first kiss was when we were both the worse for wear, and I turned down his invitation to go home with him on the grounds of being so drunk, I didn't want to do something I'd regret. I then blanked his message asking for another date.

Three months later, I got tipsy enough to ask him myself. He's still here almost a year later. In that time, there have been less than glorious occasions for us both, whether together or with friends. The guys take great pleasure in reminding me of the Unfortunate Vodka Incident of 2013. We've both laughed (and he's blushed) at the times we've come back from gigs with his gear over my left shoulder and practically carrying him home by the scruff of the neck with my right arm.


If it wasn't jägerbombs or that awful Guinness/baileys concoction, it was probably lager and vodka, commonly known as depthcharging. I can't recommend it. _pale_


Basically, when a lot of Brits drink, we get daft. Not everybody, but as long as it's not accompanied by domestic disputes or fights, it's just something that happens. And it's usually followed by getting stick from the others. (Another phrase for banter, teasing or whatever way you want to describe the Chunderbolt Episode)

Then there's the question of safety of course. How many of you have been on a date night with a bloke who indulges in a drinking game with strangers you've just met and lets you get absolutely bladdered?

It's responsibility of the male date to stop the female date from making bad choices? How will she cope if she leaves the house without him to protect her?!

OP, it was a stupid thing to do but you're blowing it far more by not talking to him any more.

My husband got drunk and threw up, on an early date with me. We still laugh about it 15 years later.

yup I agree! when I was younger me and my OH had a great night out a few months after we'd started seeing each other. I'd realised that I'd fallen in love with him and thought I'd tell him that night.

I got absolutely s**tfaced to gear up to tell him and we had a great night out. Then I woke up in the night with an urge to be sick and knew I wouldn't make it to the toilet, so I grabbed my bin, hunched up over it and spewed everywhere!

he turned on the light to see me huddled over butt naked being sick - needless to say I deferred saying those three little words until another day lol!

now we've been together for 7 years, married for 3 and are expecting our second child next week. being sick in front of someone really isn't the end of any chance of a relationship!

Also, this wasn't a friendly, chit-chat, make new friends thing. They decided to all play a drinking game. Now this might sound "fuddy duddy" to you but generally drinking games are either for lads on a night out who all know each other, or students.

I've never ever had a group of strangers I've just met in a bar ask me if I wanted to play a drinking game with them. Maybe that's just me?

Last Saturday, I was in a bar and a couple sitting near me randomly started talking to two women on their other side. I would guess the couple were in their early sixties, if not older, and the two women were in their forties. I overheard enough of their conversation to know that they did not know each other. Fast forward to an hour later and they were lining shots up along the bar!

Until I read this I was thinking what is this banter they are talking about? I have never heard of banter, so is this teasing like flirting?

The other word I have never heard before is 'bladdered' and the most intriguing phrase "ralfed like a dog" British slang kicks butt!

I have read through every reply and so many of you have done what I did. Someone mentioned culture differences and they are right. I feel like I committed social suicide, but to you all this is acceptable. Now I have just realized avoiding him is making me look bad.

My mom always said to me to seize the moment and I have fallen for this guy. Since I first met him, I have lost 11 lbs. I'm now down to 147 lbs I so want to seize the moment with him, because he is the first guy I've ever came across who is respectful and charming to me. If he was American, he would have thought line dancing was for nerds and wouldn't be seen dead with me in a bar. Speaking to you all and reading your life stories has made me realize that I'm not going to get him by hiding myself away. I have done this all my life. Now it's time to stop it and do as my mom said to me and seize the moment. I'm going to let him know how I feel about him and I have nothing to worry about if he says no, because at least I tried. He won't laugh at me either and will let me down in a dignified way, that is if he says no to me, because he is British, and British people are awesome!

Banter:-
A playful and teasing exchange of remarks, usually friendly.

'Bladdered' and 'ralfed like a dog':-
Please don't use these terms in polite company! There is British slang and there is British slang!

(I was once on holiday in Italy where the Italian rep, who spoke good English, told a group on an excursion that the coach would soon be stopping at a service station where we could get off and buy a drink or 'have a quick slash' :eek:)
