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.

I'd call her and come clean.
She might like you even if you're not Nick.

Bad start. I'd say stop. You really should have clarified who you were when you met, playing along is not only dishonest on your part but also insulting.

Just tell her the truth, if you keep lying you'll end up with a cluster fuck. Besides, you might still have a chance if you're honest.

Wow. How often does THAT happen?

I would just ignore her and hope you never see her again. And I would definitely NOT continue pretending to be Nick. That's just creepy.

To be honest, the fact that you even went along with it is pretty creepy to begin with. Especially when you told her all about your "long distance relationship" not working out. It's not right to speak on behalf of someone who is really out there. But, I doubt anything will come of it.

Now, if she had thought your name was Tyler - that would be hilarious.

I say dont call her. If you bump into her again just say she has the wrong person.

...

Then again, if she is a total babe and understanding, she may forgive you.

Its your call buddy.

Come clean. You shouldn't have gone along with it in the first place anyway.

Honesty is the best policy, Colonel. Better that she knows the truth now (and on your terms), rather than finding out that you lied to her by someone else (and thus leaving you open for the fury that hell hath not seen the like of).

Lying to someone for the sake of an "awesome story" seems kind of immoral to me, but maybe I'm just old-fashioned like that.

Edit: Then again, if she's really that hot...

The problem is if you continue with it and she's at the same college. When she finds out eventually that you're not Nick, then things could get messy if she starts telling people that you lied to her etc....

Well, the best you can do is come clean. If you want a chance with her, you gotta call, and unless you want to live the following time in a lie, I suggest coming clean. If she tells you to f*** off, you've lost nothing, just one person who doesn't like you out of the millions of people you will meet in the future. If you don't call, you lose a possible chance. So tell the truth, try to say it as eloquently and non-crazy as possible, and hope for the best (and on the phone, you do not want a kick in the groin if it fails). And if you don't confess and she meets the actual Nick, there will be some crazy shit going on.

Also, if you're aiming to win her over clean way; act kind, shy and innocent, so she'll sympathize and not harm you. Flatter her, so she'll get distracted by you filling her ego, and she'll start to like you, and then she won't be able to be mad. Although this requires that you talk to her in person, so you can emphasize your innocence. So it's a risk.

You could say that "Nick" is a nickname, and you thought that she was someone you knew but completely forgot, so you went along with it.

Wow, that's sinister of me to say!

Call and come clean. If lady luck feels like being nice you might end up with a new girlfriend or at the very least a normal friend.
If luck ignores you she would be understanding and never speak to you again.
