Poll: She's really into me... she just doesn't know who I am

[Cowabungaa]

I'd come clean and warp the situation into my own advantage because of 2 things: lying makes me feel awful, and always make the best out of life. She might see the humour of the situation as well, and might be interested in you as well.

 

[Mr Companion]

Ok, so a hilarious story.

Now I am a kind hearted person, I hate the idea of tricking somebody. But this is so fun I really have no idea how you could pass up this opportunity. You should DEFINITELY keep going. On one condition, that you keep us informed. I mean a smoking hot woman just randomly mistakes you for somebody she wants to have lots of action with and suddenly you have a story to tell your friends, yes? Keep going, friend.

 

[Semitendon]

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 don't know what's worse, the fact that you are pretending that this is a true story, or the countless morons who have posted that believe you.

I would have thought that with all the athiests, skeptics, and supposed "critical" thinkers on the escapist, that more people would have seen through this bullshit.

Reasons why this story cannot be true:

1. We have to believe a "smoking hot girl" has suddenly run up to someone she lacks the ability to recognize and immediatly gives this person a kiss and a hug. Result: extremely unlikely.

2. We have to believe that this girl has enough memory to remember the name and the relationship status of a person, the person girlfriends name, and about how long it has been since she last saw this person, BUT cannot identify the person by sight. Result: Impossible, unless some mental retardation or brain trama has taken place.

3. We have to believe that she was already attracted to this "nick" given that she is interested in you within 12 minutes of "small talk" and that she has specific information about "nick"'s relationship status, which indicates a previous desire for "nick". All this adds up to, she has to be attracted to someone she does not have the capability to identify on sight. Most couples, people with crushes, married people, can identify the person of their affection on sight, from behind, a good distance away. Result: Impossible

4. We have to assume that you have the capability to carry on a conversation with someone who thinks that you are someone else, and do this successfully for around 12 minutes. The fact that she can't recognize the face not withstanding, she seems to have a knowledge about events in "nick"'s life. We have to assume that you were able to discuss "nick's" life and catch her up on the events of the past year( because when people have been apart for a year, the instinctual thing to do is ask about the recent history of that person, starting from the last time you saw them), without exposing yourself as a fraud. Result: possible, but unlikely

Kudos for getting people to believe this nonsense.

 

[MelziGurl]

Surely she knows this Nick person she's mistaken you for and isn't really into you. Then again, you could actually turn it to your favour by simply being honest. Just imagine what would happen if this girl found out you weren't the person she thought you were...have you even witnessed a females fury?

 

[Fraught]

Keep lying.
For the lulz.

Obviously, you can't go too far with this, but you can at least have some fun.
...Not that kind of "fun."

But playing games with people's hearts and minds is great - enjoy!

At last someone who doesn't spew out that "moral" bullshit. I agree, if you're not really thinking about getting into a serious relationship with her, then have some fun. We only live once, after all.

 

[curty129]

Haha! I wouldn't go along with it as you'd come off as either a complete dick, or some sort of creep.

But you would have a nice story to tell

But she might get hurt in the process.

So's up to you.

This why in my previous response I said what I did. In America the women are no more stupid overall than the men. Indeed with women's lib, I hold they are as equally stupid. Yes I am American. I can recognise the ocean's of the world can be filled with what I don't know.

I give the OP the benifit of the doubt and stated mabye the female is using this as a ploy. In America there is still a societal holding that a woman can't directly ask out a man. She has to wait for him to ask her out. So games must be played. I proposed that maybe she had a crush on him and this was just a ploy to try and talk to him into get the romantic ball rolling. But he played dumb and went with her original deception.

"smoking hot"...that is relative to perception. For all we know she's not; even has lipstick on her teeth, wears T-shirts with kittens on them, and is 30 lbs over weight. If this is "smoking hot" for the OP, cool. I envision Jessica Alba wearing a corset and high heels carrying a whip and not much else. She runs up to me and gives her schtick. I blink a few times, then say nice otfit and ask her to forget Nick, date me instead. I would also tell her she can call me Nick til the day I die if she wants to, just keep wearing what you do and let me go shopping with you for clothes (aside from all the sex). Hell, I would wear a corset if it meant Jessica Alba hotness in my life till the day I die...no shame! And I am not even a tranny.

 

[razer17]

You should ring her and tell her. She will at some point find out you aren't this Nick guy. Then you'll be buggered.
If you ring her first and just say "I'm really sorry, but i'm not Nick, i was too embarrassed to tell you at the time" then you might end up with her anyway, without looking a fool.

 

[KaiRai]

You fucking legend.

I say call her up and say "BTW, I'm not Nick, I'm sort of shy and didn't really know how to drop in that I'm not Nick....still though, wanna screw?"

If it works you get cookies.

 

[PyroZombie]

Don't call her, Tell her in person. Man Up.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Say your got your name changed to [insert your name here].

 

[Hitman 43]

*SNIP*

Call her and come clean, or this is guaranteed to end badly.

True.

Sure, it'll be a bit fun, but it's wrong and once she finds out that your not this Nick guy in the near future, you'll hurt her and you'll be hurt from all the scratch marks and your dishonesty. I say call her and come clean now. It'll wipe the slat clean and make you feel way better rather than telling all those lies. And if you can't admit the full truth, then make something up which lets her know you aren't the correct Nick.

Or all this could be a trick. It's a possibility.

By the way, just out of curiousity, how smoking hot are we talking? Megan Fox hot? Emma Watson hot? (Not that it effects what you should do. There are other great girls out there)

 

[Ren3004]

Actually something like this happened to me, except she started talking to me through text messages, thinking I was another guy with the same name. I told her the truth after a couple of days, we kept in touch for a while, then she stopped reply to me.

Come clean, there's no way you can keep it up for long... unless she has the brain of a goldfish, of course.

Or say you're cutting all ties with your past because you killed a mob boss and are now on the run from an international crime syndicate.

 

[Kurokami]

I'm just gonna point out the obvious, you are asking GAMERS for relationship advice.

Kill her and eat her face.

These are the only two responses I read, very nice, =D

 

[Stoic raptor]

What you should do is tell the truth. I know I would do that.

What I want you to do is keep pretending your nick, this shit is too funny.

Who cares if the story is fake, it's still funny
Although you are right. We should have been suspisous.

 

[Glass_House]

Well if I were you I would have come clean at the start and when she started being all embarrassed and such I would have joked around and made her feel better. At least then she knows your not a douche and you can work on it from there.

If you come clean from the start she will guaranteed say "o, sorry then" and leave you in the dust, unless she's some unbelievably exceptional girl.

Well not really she came up and hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. There is no way she wouldn't feel horribly embarrassed about her mistake. She wouldn't just turn around and leave.
