Exaggerated my like for someone whilst drunk

I told a friend of a girl I like that I had feelings whilst immensely drunk. I don’t really fancy the girl much but I pretty much said I like her a lot. The girl is someone I’m living with next year in a shared house so sober me wouldn’t even bother asking her out etc. I drunk flirt with everyone which is normal ?

Anyway- I think the friend told the girl. Idk/ can’t remember if her friend told me she liked me too bc I was too drunk. I don’t want a relationship with her I just like her- I’ve had this before and my feelings will die out. I’m worried that she thinks I like her a lot but I don’t want anything from this so how do I tell her I was just drunk and it’s a bad idea…IF she likes me back (she does flirt with me whilst drunk also) but Ik that mostly means nothing

I hate myself for saying this to her friend and genuinely want to avoid them all until I go home for Easter

If she asks about it, just brush it off as if it's nothing. Say sth like "I did...? I tend to drink and flirt with everyone." Hopefully that should work and just go about your day as normal.

This type of beer goggles flirting is still leading on. It’s not very nice to do it to someone and leads to bad feeling. You can go back to behaving like a friend only and avoid any flirting and maybe it will subside. If she hopes to progress things all you can do is say you weren’t really sure what you wanted and that your feelings have changed.
