All right, I got a couple of ideas to salvage your situation Say that: -your phone was hacked -your cat stepped on your phone, which created the text you sent out -the phone was hacked by your cat -it was your evil twin -it was your cat's evil twin that's a phone hacker Hi, I'm Kurt Angle, Olympic gold medallist, 11-time world champion and frequent drunk driver/Tweeter. I endorse this message.

UPDATE:
Ok so after the cringe worthy day, I basically didn't speak to her for a day (48hrs). This morning there was a cat waiting for me outside my house so I took a photo of him and sent it to her with a joke about what we should call him (all the cats around here have nicknames). She replied saying "freaky". That's all. One word.
No, "How are you", "where you off to" or any follow up on the cat... and no further communication all day.
I think it's pretty obvious she just wants to not talk to me to politely indicate she has no interest and doesn't want to make things awkward at this point. Shit. Things are going to be interesting when she comes home. FML.

Alright OP, here's my advice on how to salvage this: First, when she gets home make sure yous trip nude and walk around the place with your stuff hanging out. First scenario is that she likes what she sees and falls for you instantly, ensuring several nights of hot passionate sex. Second scenario is that she freaks out and demands an explanation. You tell her that this is your home and you can walk around naked all damn day. She will say "well how would you like it I stripped naked and walked around?" To which you reply "Go ahead!" She will of coarse be forced to comply, thus you will experience the sight of your crush getting naked in front of you. After several hours of being turned on by the sight of each other, you will both realize your true feelings for each other and engage, ocne again in a lifetime of amazing guilt-free sex. It's a win-win situation my friend. The Naked Man technique. Works 1 outta 3 times, guaranteed! And you take that 33 and a third percentage and add it to your a hundred percentage chance of sex success, that's a hundred and thirty-three percentages of the room mate getting naked along with you. And that kinda math spells "Delight" for you both this hot and steamy New Year's! UPDATE: Ok so after the cringe worthy day, I basically didn't speak to her for a day (48hrs). This morning there was a cat waiting for me outside my house so I took a photo of him and sent it to her with a joke about what we should call him (all the cats around here have nicknames). She replied saying "freaky". That's all. One word. No, "How are you", "where you off to" or any follow up on the cat... and no further communication all day. I think it's pretty obvious she just wants to not talk to me to politely indicate she has no interest and doesn't want to make things awkward at this point. Shit. Things are going to be interesting when she comes home. FML. So either she was suggesting the cat's name is 'Freaky' or that you sending pics to her of cats after the aborted courting-via-text itself is 'freaky'.... sorry mate. If you want to continue having her as either your platonic friend or as a rent-paying roommate my suggestion would be to avoid texting her until she texts you first. Keep your interactions face to face, cellular technology is your kryptonite, kimosabe.

It seems like you went about things in a nice, respectful way so you should be pleased about that, at least.

I know you're trying to diffuse the whole mess, but please stop texting her. It ain't helping.

Agreed, I shouldn't text. I was trying to make things less awkward and more normal, it probably isn't helping. Also going to make a shit load of plans to go out in evenings when she's back, just so we aren't under each others feet. Ugh. I hate social encounters as well.

Yup. I've already given thought to the idea that if I ever did go full in with telling her how I feel and she was NO!!!!! I'd just leave myself and go back to parents or something as she's happy here and I'd be a dick to screw with her happiness.

I wouldn't have kept texting her after the initial text. It's best to let's things play out on their own, really.

In support of Chaos you can't 'take advantage' of a drunk girl if you are also drunk. Then both people are literally 'not thinking clearly'. In support of Devil's Advocacy how many of the people saying Prof is being sleazy would consider that a girl is taking advantage of a guy when she's sober and he's drunk? No. No completely all around. No from the guy's POV. No from the girl's POV. Just no.

To me there are three people you don't date. Your friend's sibling, your friend's exes, and roommates to many complications for each one Agreed, Agreed, and Agreed. Possibly all from experience, possibly from too many sitcoms. Who knows?

All the Emmys. This thread reads like the script to some new hit HBO dramedy sitcom, it would sweep every single Emmy category.

After reading the first five pages I was actually going to say this didn't go too bad. You found out exactly where you stand, but with enough ambiguity surrounding it to where she shouldn't automatically feel uncomfortable or that you are infatuated with her.
Even now it's not too bad. Don't text her unless she texts you, pretend none of this ever happened and it'll blow over.

That said, it's like anything else and that ultimately passes, usually. Doesn't mean anyone has to move out or anything, at least not yet, just means people should give each other space.

If somebody sent me a text like that, THEN 2 days later sent a text asking "what should me name our new cat".... I'd show up at the house with a police escort to get my stuff and I'd move to another state.
Unfortunately texts don't translate stuff like sarcasm/jokes/fun very well. They are always translated by the mind of the reader, NOT the writer. The sooner humanity learns this the better.
