OK, I mentioned I saw this girl who I went to high school with and grew up with her brother the other night in Houston. Well, she recognized me, we chatted, I got her number, she got mine, I mentioned something about DMB, she said she liked them, I said I had an extra ticket, she said call me so I can ask off, etc. So, Monday night I call, and it's not her number. I laugh it off, really, but my family (who knows her and her's pretty well) and one of my friends from Katy couldn't believe that she'd do that and that I must've mis-typed. Today, I decide to call this other girl I grew up with to see if she had her number...she did. I was off by one number-the last one. It's a 4 and I had a 3. What do you think? Did she do it on purpose or in my buzzed phase, did I simply type it in wrong? I've really got nothing to lose except for my pride if I call her, but I don't have much of that left!
If she was going to give you a fake number, seems like she wouldn't have made it so close to her real one.
call and ask her straight up what the deal is. whats the worst that can happen really. its not like you accidently blew off half of your ass or anything?
Do you think you could have messed up writing or typing it? If she gave you the wrong # on purpose, don't call her. Not worth it.
I disagree. A bunch of my friends that are females pull that trick. They do it so that they will have an excuse when they get called out on it. Plus, if they are asked to repeat it, it is easier for them to repeat.
Actually, that's a common way people get out of giving away their real numbers. Many don't want to/can't come up w/ a fake number al of a sudden so they just use their real one but change the last digit. Call her anyway though, maybe you messed up in typing it. Even if you didn't, call her just for the cool moment of awkwardness she will experience.
Maybe she's so stupid she forgot her own number. If she is that stupid, you should definitely call her.
I agree. It's really hard to come up with a fake number without making it sound obvious. However, in this case, I think you messed up typing.
Who care's. I've gotten real numbers and been blown off many times. The easiest way to find out is to call her answering machine at home, while she is at work. If she is interested she'll call you back that night. If not, then you got punk'd. But who gives a crap. Just go for it. I wouldn't bring it up if you do go out because you don't have to. Why talk about something that is negative when you have plenty of stuff to talk about that is positive. Cheers.
I agree. Just pretend you had her right number all along. If she intended to fake you out, now she'll have doubts about whether she gave you her real number. Since she won't quite remember, she'll assume she must've given you the right number and wanted to go out with you. You have already won the psychological battle.
I agree with this. If you know the schedule she keeps, just call when you know she won't be at home. Put the ball in her court to call you back. If she does, it was a mis-type. If she doesn't, well, you'll know what's up. Oh, like previous posters have stated, the easiest way to avoid giving a fake phone number is to simply change one of the digits. That way, if you had immediately asked her to repeat it because you couldn't hear her or something, she could easily spew out the same digits. No harm in just calling her, though. Good luck.
Are you gonna let that extra ticket go to waste or are you gonna use it on a hottie? You know what to do.
Call her, of course! Why would she have gone through that script about geting off (how Freudian) for work if she didn't want to go with you?
