    the only pitfall is if she asks for a reason...because as "drew" you have no idea who you are yourself. you could be a cheating husband, someone in school, retired, out of work, working late nights only, etc etc...

    so if she does ask for a reason you may have to think of something creative that is general but a pretty valid excuse. you cant say "i have to study for a final" when the actual "drew" isnt a student.


    edit: and asking for pics right away is key because sooner than later she will figure it out especially if she calls the original drew and he tells her that she emailed the wrong person etc.

    i am sure we'll figure out something here

    if there is anything i learnt from being on the interwebs is that we're all just a bunch of liars sometime or anothers

    ok I have class at 2 so we need to send something before that... I have three meetings and then I have to write a 40 page research paper due YESTERDAY.

    I will try to quickly review all the wrong e-mails I have gotten so we can develop a profile of "new york drew"

    Also what name did you use when you signed up for gmail?

    If she sees the email comes from Drew X but she knows Drew Y it could cause trouble.

    Change it to something neutral like ( just drew ) in gmail settings before you send!!!

    It sounds like you need to do a better job setting your priorities.


    In other words, don't worry about all that other crap...just get us some pictures!!! ;)

    oh **** I might have just hit the jackpot.

    the oldest e-mail to someone that wasn't actually me was actually a CC that includes "new york drew"'s ENTIRE INFORMATION.
    EDITED
    I have his phone, fax, and work e-mail.

    The only problem would be if its not the same drew mistake. However, lets think about it. Shes a nurse and he's a high level executive... that at least puts them in sort of the same social class. His area code is Southwest connecticut... so chances are its the same dude. And yes, he has my same name.

    I see only two acceptable options.

    1) Lemon Party that treacherous Jezebel

    or

    2) Invite over and Anne Hathaway her all night long.

    at the risk of promoting fun, but CLEAN:

    Don't just say "can I have pics?" out directly. The request from pics shouldn't come from you, because you supposedly already had contact with her and you already know what she looks like, but the request should come from another person, someone who doesn't believe you know her. It would go something like:

    "There is this guy who is in the office next to me that says he knows you. I told him it's impossible. He says 'if i see her in person then I know it is her', but I say to him 'dude, no way i would let you meet her. how about if i ask her for a picture only' and so I had to ask if you could send one... it doesn't have to be anything too detailed like from a digital camera, you can just use your phone. I want to prove to this guy that I know you."

    ^ Like that, you won't sound like "oops, I don't know what you look like" but an "i would like to prove to someone else". :eek:

    Finally something interesting in the hangout...

    In the end tell her you have an STD.

    That won't work if their relationship is a secret.

    :( You're correct, but he shouldn't be asking for photos of someone he already knows, either.

    using her name at the beginning seems a little formal.
