Awkward and Love: Doppelganger

Doppelganger

Today, I sent a text message to my boyfriend, saying, "Come over in an hour, I love you." An hour later, the doorbell rang. It was my ex, looking happy and still as smitten with me as before, with a bunch of roses. I'd got the wrong number. My ex and my boyfriend have the same name. FML

Today, I was woken up by an overly sappy good morning text from my boyfriend, complete with kissy-face images. Before I could text him back, he sent a follow-up. "Oops. Wrong person." Wait, what? FML

Today, I received 5 missed calls from a florist stating that they were having problems delivering a bouquet from my ex. I was thrilled at the idea of a reconciliation. Turns out however that he just got mine and his new girlfriend's phone numbers confused. FML

Today, I called one of my coworkers to ask him where he was, because I needed him to come downstairs. After 2 minutes of yelling on the phone to come downstairs, I realized I'd called the wrong person, and was actually on the phone with my ex-boyfriend, who took me 6 months to get over. FML

Today, my ex said "I love you!" for the first time at a party in front of my boyfriend. Smugly satisfied, I said "Well, you're too late for that." My ex looked at me with irritation and said "I'm talking to him!" and gestured to my boyfriend. They'd been "best friends" since middle school. FML

Today, my ex-girlfriend who I still have feelings for sent me a text saying "Come over in an hour, I love you." I take a bunch of roses over to her house, only to find that her boyfriend has the same name as me. She texted the wrong guy. FML.

Why did you have the ex's #...? Poor guy. Do him a favour and double check your messages, especially if you know you have two people with the same name in there..

From his side: "today my ex who I am still madly in love with me texted me asking me to come over and saying that she loved me; I had never felt so happy before in my life. I quickly ran to go get her some flowers so I could show her how much I love, only to have her tell me 'oops wrong number' when I arrived. razorblades here I come."

52, why wouldn't she? Never had a good break up? And why the F shouldnt she be allowed to date someone with the same name? I felt bad for the ex when i started to read the comments but now my pity for you fills me from top to bottom. Jerk.
