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.
Read on for the full story.

It was all going so well

The realization

We don't know how to feel about this if we were in her place

At least they both found it funny

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.
Many other Redditors also found the entire experience entertaining. Some even offered tips to prevent it in the future.
Here are some of their comments:
A few commenters were quick to point out how funny the mix-up was.
This is a genius and absolutely hilarious idea!

Also, if you like accidental romance chaos, see how one AITA set up her friend on a dating app.
Julia's the real ghoster here, not OP

It's incredible how their conversation lasted that long without either of them saying, "Wait a minute!"

Already way past that

If this had happened, it probably wouldn't have lasted two weeks

True that, though

If they do end up as just friends, it still makes for a pretty great story

If it were a movie, she probably would have just become Julia

The best part is they kept texting each other because they genuinely liked talking to one another

We're all hoping the same thing

It's a funny little mistake that led to something nice and wholesome

It's one of those romcoms you thought you wouldn't enjoy but actually did
MissMat
Oh, that is an interesting take on it

That would have been pretty funny

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.
