A case of mismatched identity.

So way back in college when I was going through “desperate to date a girl phase “ I sent a Facebook request to a decent looking girl who only had two pictures of her in her profile. She accepted my request and we began conversing. We both had similar taste in music, culture, philosophy etc. We kept on chatting of fb on-off for a couple of months before deciding to meet as we both were from adjecent cities which were around 1 hr apart.

So we decided on a time and place to meet. I showed up 10 mnts late and spotted her waiting for me. She somehow seemed a bit shorter than her fb profile pic and was also a bit thinner (mind you I had only seen two pictures of her on fb and at that time pic quality were not as great as they are now). So approached her and began the talk with the usual greeting stuffs.

During the lunch date conversation I felt something was off. She was not much interested in talking to me, on top of that she couldn't remember most of things that we used to talk about during our fb chats and was only concentrating on her food. She was also intentionally trying to be uncivilized like burping loudly ,chewing loudly ,scratching her body continuesly . The meeting was a total turn off me . We finished lunch and bid adiew.

After that we never had a second date and eventually stopped talking altogether and she became inactive on Facebook .

Fast forward a couple of years ,I had passed out of college and had started working on my first job. I got a Facebook msg from the same girl . It was a total surprise .we began chatting about our current status and life .During the conversation I came clean and told her that our first and only date was a total disaster for me . To which she replied

“ Actually I hid one thing from you. That day the girl who came to meet you was not me .she was my Twin Sister . I sent her instead of me because I wanted to see how you would behave “

My reaction

Needless to say this was probable one of the weirdest facepalm I got .

Lessons learned .

• Always make sure that you are dating the right Twin ( no she never mentioned during that chats that she had a twin )
• Make sure that you see ample amount of pictures on social media or have a video chat before the date .
