Girl Forgets To Introduce Herself In An Intro Text And Ends Up Taking Someone Else's Identity

Lesson learned: Be extra polite and introduce yourself first every time.

One missing introduction text can turn a simple chat into a full-on identity mix-up. In this case, a girl and a Redditor had been texting for nearly two weeks, but one forgotten name in the first message left both of them talking under the wrong assumption.

What started as a normal getting-to-know-you exchange turned awkward fast, because the girl thought she was speaking to someone else entirely. The confusion was harmless, but it made the whole conversation a lot funnier once the truth came out.

It certainly is a funny mistake and one that can be easily fixed, so there's really nothing to worry about for either of them. Changing their contact names is probably going to do the trick.

It's easy to make mistakes like these. At least for these two, though, it ended on a pretty good note.

They seem to have good chemistry, and we're honestly hoping the second date went well. If they didn't end up in a romantic relationship, then they'd still be pretty great friends, by the look of it.

That mix-up somehow made the whole thing even sweeter.
