So there is a girl that sits behind me in English class who I often shoot the shit with while waiting for the teacher to come in. Well, found out today she wasn't who I thought she was. For the ENTIRE SEMESTER I thought this girl I was talking to was someone I went to high school with so I never bothered asking her name because I already knew it! Well I got a facebook notification telling me the person who who I thought she was's birthday was today. So I walk into class and tell her happy birthday...her birthday wasn't for another 4 months. I had mistaken this girl for someone else for almost SIX MONTHS!

Not that bad, but I got a friend request on a site from a nickname I thought was someone I'd met at an event, so I friended them. A month later I get a message & friend request from a different user telling me they are the person I met and wanting me to friend them.

So now I am friended to this mystery person I thought was the 2nd person, and can't figure out a polite way to ask "So who the heck are you anyway?" after we've been friends and commenting on each others stuff for over a month.

No I don't think you understand! She was a doppelganger of the person I went to high school with!

It's probably too late to backtrack and pretend like you're celebrating early. NBD, apologize profusely, but don't show her a picture of the friend you think she looks like. She will say they look nothing alike and you'll feel dumber.

New friends I guess. Worst case scenario: you don't actually know the person and they defriend you and you never see or hear from them again.

Just gotta take your online relationships in stride. I've got a bunch of randos from racing that have FRed me and those I usually just accept. A few friends of friends have FRed me and I'll debate on whether I want to accept. I'm thinking about culling my Facebook friend list to the people I actually want to talk to/see in person. Some people I just leave on there because they're interesting to talk to.

Not a terrible human being. But maybe an idiot, if only for never asking her name in the first place. "I'm really sorry, but I'm drawing a complete blank on your name..." Honesty is refreshing.

"So this is crazy, but I've been mistaking you for someone I went to high school with. You look just like her! I'm an idiot. Let me make it up to you—what bars do you like?"

Hopefully this doesn't dissuade you from continuing to be friends with her and talking to her and loving her. Seriously though, not a big deal. If you tell/told her that, it'll probably be something you guys can laugh about.

This is awesome.

It could have been worse. Imagine you had taken her home and got her name wrong during sex, all the while thinking that you're finally getting to fuck your high school crush...
