Clubbing can be strange sometimes...

[Duamutef]

Hello everybody, my name is Sam. I'm 22 years old and I live in Italy. I'm an aerospace engineering student, and a wannabe Don Juan!


Let me tell you my story: thursday night I went with some friends to a nice Irish Pub in Turin (the city in which I live, which is gonna host this winter olympic games). I met a nice girl, whose name was Liz. I chatted with her for a while. Suddenly she left her place (that was right beside mine) to go speak with a friend of hers. Please note that I did not even start my DJ routine, which involves saying nice things and asking personal questions... to cut it short: I did not ask her for her phone number.

After a while, the barman came to me with a little piece of paper. I read it, and it said: "Liz - (her phone number) - Sorry if I left you alone, my friend is rather jealous. I gave my number to the barman".

I thought I had scored a nice point, much to the envy of my friends. After some minutes, when her friend was gone, I sat beside her once more. The barman offered her a beer, saying it was my gift for her (Italian barmen are really kind...). She smiled to me, and asked to share the drink with her. I even engaged in a light form of kino, which she did not seem to refuse.

At the end of the evening, when I left the pub, I gave her a little peck on a cheek, saying I was delighted to share a little time with her. She said something very similar, with a gentle smile on her face.

I waited for three days to give her a call. This morning I called her number and, much to my horror, an old man answered the phone. I tried two more times, trying to avoid the unkind reality of it, but it was clear that she had given me a fake phone number.

What bewilders me is that I did not even ask her to give me her digits... Why in the world did she mock me in such a way? She spontaneously acted in such a fraudulent and gratuitous way.

Doubtlessly I'll meet her again next week, in the same pub. I don't know how to act: should I go near her and say something like: "Wow, baby, your voice really sounds different on the phone!"... should I avoid her glance? I fear that she will be tempted to laugh in my face. I don't give a f*ck, but that would be annoying nonetheless.

Give me an advice, please. I've got the utmost respect in you, guys. So do not fail me! :woo:

PS: Sorry for my english...

I think that would be a great way confront her! It's ****y and also funny. It means you kinda "bust" her and she has to explain herself to you.

You should also consider the possibility that she just wrote down her number wrong. A few months ago i got the number of a hot girl. I felt she was out of my league, but she asked for my number and i also got hers. She told me to call her the next day for a bar-meeting. I did and the number was incorrect. I was confused as to why she would do this as she also displayed clear ioi's. I didn't give it more thought, but then I got an sms from her like 3 weeks later, where she asked me what I was up to etc..The number was unknown, as in not the same as i had saved on my phone as her number. I then noticed that only one digit seperated this number from the one she had given me. End of mystery. So..what I'm saying is she might just have given you the wrong number by accident.

If she actually gave you the wrong number on purpose, without you even asking for it, then you're dealing with a sick puppy who likes to play weird games. The way you described her, she seemed nice and kind, so I'm sure there is a misunderstanding around here somewhere. Let me know how it goes.

Good luck

Sure it wasnt her dad answering?...
My guess is that you already ruled out this one though..

From what you describe she doesnt really sound like the flirt-n-run type...it could just be she buggered up the number she gave you. I was once swapping numbers with a cute girl and accidently ended up giving her an old-number that belonged to a completly different area code(my own problem of being distracted by shiny objects coming into play).

You have really nothing to lose by simply saying 'Hi, tried calling the number you gave me but it must have been copied down wrong...was hoping I would run into you again sometime.' (probably translated into Italian though)

I mean what is she gonna do...laugh?...only the most evil of women would do that, and my god man...if she is that evil, run away and pitty the poor dude that ends up with her as a wife one day.

Thank you \O/, your reply is really giving me more than a hope...

I should have tried the number right after she gave it to me! ...by the way I'm looking forward to speak with her once more. I liked her, I would be so displeased to learn she's such a "sick puppy"...

I'll make you know next Thursday, my friend. Stay tuned...

Hamno, you're definitely right...

OMG people, you're all so wise... I'm sure we'll have a good time sharing our experiences!

Thank you!

When she gives you her number, just go 'i'll give you a missed call so you've got my number as well'.
If her phone doesn't ring then at least you find out on the spot that the number's wrong.

 

[Duamutef]

That's a good advice, GGTFB, thank you. I should have done it, but sometimes enthusiasm is able to defeat things like doubt or malice...



But I'm gonna be a DJ someday, so I'd better learn... !

 

[Hamno]

Wishing you the best of luck Duamutef,

I'v been FORTUNATE enough to have enough situations completly blow up in my face ending with me making an ass out of myself that I learned my lessons.....I mean, I didnt really learn quickly, but eventually I caught on...Plus, moving cities every few months for about a year also helped since no one in the current city knows me from the 'old days'

I recently got a phone number at a Swing Night. I called the next night(because she had my number and I thought she called me first, which she did, so I was calling her back)

On the paper it said "Nichole" "cell"

when I dialed it, it rang IMMEDIATELY... I'm like, that's no freakin' cellphone...(but it was)

so I let it ring, get the answering machine, and its this, uh... WIERD-sounding girl... I'm like... wtf, this ***** gave me a fake number, why the **** would she do that?

well, I decided WHOEVER that girl was, I was going to ask her if she knew a girl named "Nichole" so the plan was to call back some other time and befriend this wierd-sounding girl.

well, before I tried to call again, she was able to get a hold of me. That's a cellphone? yes. Yes, it was really her number... and to think I was a bit disappointed by the voice on the machine...

just goes to show, if there's no apparent reason she would've done it, she probably didn't.

I was thinking of all my AFC mistakes, wondering what I could've done...

I was planning on putting the game on REAL strong next time I saw her...

well, I didn't have to, and I didn't have to wait that long. We spent most of the daylight together a few days after she called me again.

I hope you're not some idiot who hangs up when he THINKS he's got the wrong number... because that could be her dad or something... try asking for Liz.

 

[Duamutef]

Iamnotacrook, thanks for your kind advice.

Maybe you didn't get an hold of me: I'm getting a degree in f*cking aerospace engineering this year, I get airplanes to fly, so I can operate a phone. Do not worry about that anymore, pal.

Immediately after the old, withered idiot answered the friggin' phone this morning I asked him about his very identity, whether she knew Liz, if he ever went to the Murphy's Pub and countless other trivial questions: at a point he was on the verge of laughing in my face, because he understood how the whole thing went.

Italy is maybe the country with most pro-capite cell phones. I have 3 of them, I'm sure Liz has at least two, and so her dad too. But why in the world should her give me her dad's digits? This would defy any explanation.

By the way, thank you for your message. Next time you answer please take note I'm not a complete moron. See ya.

I have gotten 1 fake number in my life.

It sucked man and it kind of hit me.

I was on the train wasted out of my mind and flirting with a girl 3 seats away. The 2nd stop from mine came up so i'm like what the hell...

I stumbled over to her and...

AC"Hey, so what steps can we take to continue this conversation?"
HB"What?"
AC"I gotta get off at the next stop, here quick give me your #."
HB"ERr...alright here xxx-xxxx.....

My stop comes and I run out and she hasn't even saved her name.

I called it and the # was 'not in service' so I proceeded to call the number in EVERY realistic area code from around here. I just couldn't believe that it was fake.

It came down to me being wasted and wierd I think...

Happens.

[Duamutef]

Yeah, I know it hurts...

...but I would have lived on if I was the one who asked the number. She spontaneously gave it to me.

Is she a 'sick puppy'? :woo:

I hope I'll find it out later this week...

 

[Jukeboxhero]

SO your sure that old man was someone that didn't know her right?

I actually thought of a few other possibilities. I imagine it was a mistake but what if the Bartender wrote the note himself trying to help you guys get 'hooked' up? I mean, he did give you a free beer saying it was a gift from you, but it wasn't, right?

Actually on second thought that is pretty unlikely. To be honest I bet she wrote the number down wrong by accident or perhaps on purpose to see if she could manipulate her into buying her drinks.

Well at least she gave you a little bit of hook up hope... false hope but hope none the less...

 

[Duamutef]

It's so sad though...

 

[HalfAddict]

Mabye the barman liked you rawr rawr =P

 

[DjDreamer]

Dude... what are you worried about? You are soon to be an aerospace engineer... women are like bees and your pay check is the honey...

Getting the admiration of some chicks isn't rocket science... you are bound to fail some of the times seeing how a chick's emotions isn't a constant... unless of course you are incredible lucky... but still I don't think you should sweat a chick that gave you a fake number so you could momentarily feel good about youself...

 

[Duamutef]

You're right...

But I would like to be appreciated for the person I am, not the work I do or the money I'll eventually earn...
