Called a girl wrong name in message.

Perez2017

Met a lovely girl out Saturday night. We got on well, swapped numbers and were texting away Sunday. I was half hungover and accidentally called her the wrong name in a message. I apologised but she hasn't replied. I think I've blown it, stupid mistake but to all the ladies on here is it unforgivable?

Move on

I've done it in person it was my ex's name!!. Didn't go down well but got over it. If that is the deal breaker for her, she's not worth the hassle.

yeah mate, probably not meant to be.

This would be a deal breaker for a lot of women. If not do you want to date somebody with no self esteem?

Onwards and upwards.

Can you blame autocorrect on the phone or has that boat sailed?

I think that's what happened aswell but too late I'd say.

Being able to see it for the mistake it was doesn't mean she has no self esteem

I would tend to agree. I just told her I was hungover and it was a simple mistake. I suppose if she was interested she could look past it.

She's probably sitting at home with her mates screaming OMG and getting wound up.

See at as a lucky escape. Id even suggest doing it on purpose in future to weed out the over sensitive headwreckers.

Sounds like you had a lucky escape.

I think I would to be honest. I would think to myself clearly he can't get my name right so maybe he thinks he os texting someone else or whatever. It shows a lack of interest.

This is such misogynistic rubbish. Women are not all sitting at home hysterically discussing texts from some random lad from the night before.

Suggesting that the OP does this on purpose in future is serious pick-up artist, negging behaviour. Usually this is discouraged on this forum, but I have seen it popping up frequently in recent weeks/months.

I would 100 percent assume that the man was texting more than one person at a time, or that he couldn't even get the absolute bare minimum right. My name.

Honestly, not at all. I’d give him a slagging for it and move on.

Have a couple of friends that would take issue with it, but they would be quite needy (self-confessed). They would make men heavily work their way out of minor things like the example the OP has given and it’s due to their own insecurities. Unfair really.

Edit: Just realising that I am talking about the OP and he is you! Apologies!

And what do you base this speculation on, besides your own imagination?

I'd move on, OP. It was probably a red flag for her so early on and she decided to cut her losses.

For what its worth, I've had similar happen me pretty recently, and I gave the benefit of the doubt & laughed it off.
As time went on, more and more red flags appeared, questionable sh*tty behaviour, etc., and we are no longer seeing each other now.
I won't be so quick to forgive if it happens again because of that experience. Perhaps she is the same, and had a similar negative past experience.
Onwards and upwards.

They met on Saturday ffs. You'd want to be some dope to be upset over that.

Well if they only met Saturday surly he could remember her name by the following day.

After meeting only a few days ago? Nope, not at all. I'd give you a ribbing over it for sure as it'd be funny! And I'd call you some ridiculous wrong name into the bargain for the laugh too.

Is there any way you can track down where she lives and hand deliver a bunch of roses to her door?

If I met someone the night before and he called me the wrong name over text I'd probably think he was texting more than one girl (which he's well entitled to) and then decide if I was bothered or not. She decided she wasn't bothered. They only met the night before. They were no kind of relationship. It's a non issue.

What's funny about it? Its misogynistic, unhelpful drivel that has no place in a serious forum like PI.

Mod note:

That's enough with the off topic posts. Please only post if you have advice to offer the OP.

If you have a problem with a post, report it.

I won't be doing that anyway for sure.

Imagine calling her by the wrong name while holding on to her hair?

Bandana boy

It would depend on the context and whether or not she thinks you called her the wrong name or sent her the wrong message.

If I were her I'd be a bit miffed that you'd forgotten my name, but given that ye met on a night out and with alcohol involved I'd probably give you the benefit of the doubt for now! She might be more sensitive though. If she didn't even respond I'd let it go OP.

Ah I have deleted her number so can't contact her anymore. Pure sickener but have to move on.

OP as your issue has reached a conclusion, I'm going to close this thread now.
