- Back in seventh grade, I made a friend who was in two of my classes. One day during lunch, I was talking to him, and then I looked around the cafeteria and saw him sitting at another table. I was like, “What?” and then I turned around and saw him sitting at my table.
It turned out he had a twin, so I had one class with him and another with his brother.I didn’t find out for about two weeks.
- One afternoon, I answered the door to a deliveryman holding a vase of fresh flowers. I hadn’t ordered any, but he confirmed my address. The card was missing, so I shrugged and brought them inside.
It wasn’t until I looked at the label that my heart skipped. The flowers were sent to my exact apartment number, but the name was different—my mother’s maiden name. She had never lived there.
To this day, I have no idea who sent them or why.
- When I was about 19, I met a woman in college.
Long story short, we quickly moved in together, sharing a bedroom, checking account, the whole deal. Just after our first anniversary, while I was at work, she moved out without telling me. I found out about a month later that she had moved out because she married her long-term boyfriend, whom she had been with for 5 years.
Her mom had never heard of me, and the older woman I met must have been an actor portraying her mom. It confused me for years.
- I had a little crush on this girl. After a couple of months, we started texting each other. After a few weeks, things started to get more serious, and she asked me to send a picture, so I did.
We have a mutual friend who has a phone number similar to mine. She thought she was talking to the other friend, who was a girl. So, not only did she not know it was me, but I also found out she was not interested in men.
