Ok, so a bit of backstory first. I am the most generic looking person of all time. Now that we have that out of the way, today I was walking from my class to my car and I hear this girl yell "Nick" really loud (This isn't my name BTW). So you know, natural reaction, you hear a loud noise, you react to it. So I look over and this smoking hot girl runs up and gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and then starts telling me about how she hasn't seen me in over a year and things of that nature for about 2 minutes. Now, to avoid an extremely awkward situation and just because I have a sense of humor, I just sort of go along with it.
So I make some small talk with her for about, 10 minutes, (she's dropping major hints that she's into me) and then she asks "So how are you and (Natalie?)" and I just pulled out of my ass something along the lines of, "well she's going to SDU, I'm here at (my college) and with the whole long distance thing we both decided that it wasn't going to work out." So she tells me that she doesn't have a boyfriend right now and asks for my number. At this point I'm kind of committed to the lie that I'm this Nick guy so I tell her I dropped my phone and now it doesn't work so I'm switching to Cingulair and I probably won't have the same number. So she writes down her number for me and tells me to call her when I get a new phone, then hugs me again and runs off to her next class.
So now I have her number and I really have no idea what I should do. I could keep pretending to be Nick. Sure, that will blow up in my face probably very quickly, but I would have an interesting story to tell for the rest of my life. I could call her and come clean. I feel like kind of an asshole for getting her hopes up, and she did seem pretty into me anyways. Or I could just not call her, but then i might run into her again and that will be just as awkward. So what do you think I should do? And do you think if I come clean I still have a chance with her, or will she be too pissed off at me?
Oh, sidenote. just as a complete mindfuck to top it all off, I come home and the movie fightclub is on TV. If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about.
