I love my friend. We knew each other from 5 years. At first he said he loved me. But I didn't have any feelings for him for being in a relationship. So I just avoided the topic. We were not in contact for nearly a year. Then again we got in contact. He again said that he still loves me and asked me for being in a relationship with him. I said, yes I love him. But after that he told me that he drink’s, smokes and that he is not a perfect partner for me.

But then still we used to talk daily for hours. I told him that I don’t need any perfect partner, I just need him. But he still says the same thing. I can’t think of anything except him. I need him in my life but now he is avoiding me. I really miss him. When he is drunk he says that he only loves me. But when sober he says that it was just an attraction. I don’t know what to do? I know that whenever he is drunk he opens up his secrets and when next day I ask him about all that he says yes it is true. But when I say him that he said he loves me. He says no he don’t, it was just an attraction. So my question is do drunk people speak truth?

Not always, but he is a drunk, you don't need that. When he is sober he does not want you. Leave him alone
