Received a wrong number text, guess what happened next?

I agree with Kat and Robear, posting her picture just like that is not classy. Even if she sent it to a complete stranger, at least she had a say in the matter there. I wouldn't go in your place, this all seems a bit creepy.

But by whatever chance, if she turns out to be a porn star, it's fair game.

I see a very interesting story brewing. Let us know how things go.

Whew! Lara's post in now on the previous page, we can start asking for more pics.

Totally interested in seeing where this goes, ya creep!

This sounds like it could go either really good or really bad. What do you all think? Bad idea?

Please post her pic. You know, in case you go missing we need to know who to look for.

I don't see why not.

(edit:Lara's right)

To be honest, I don't think you can tell whether she is really good looking from this pic or not. Quite a bit of makeup going on there, bleached hair, possibly a big overbite. Nothing wrong with any of that--but perhaps keep your expectations in check until you see the real thing?

I once met a chick I talked to first on Skype, and on video chat I thought she looked decent. A little short, but decent. I saw her moving around so I thought I knew what I was seeing.

Reality proved me wrong. Taller than I was, and um, well pretty obese. I don't know what camera tricks she employed, but she fooled me pretty good.

edit: but have fun!

Hopefully it'll be something light-hearted and embarrassing we can tease him about, rather than yet another, "remember that time you got stabbed" things.

I'd also like to point out that when you assume she got the wrong number, you're trusting the word of a complete stranger. How do you know that? She might have known exactly what she was doing and was just feeling you out to see if you'd be an easy target.

Sometimes when someone calls you by mistake they honestly entered the wrong number. Sometimes they just want to know if you're home.

I did a genuine LOL.

I can envision no way in which this could go wrong.

Down the drain

Pics or it didn't happen
Go with the flow

Ok, removed pic.

If you have her name you can always google fu/ facebook stalk her a bit at least to see if maybe she is connected to anyone you know. If she is trying to scam you, she may know of you through a friend of a friend type deal. I do agree that you should have a wingman present during the first encounter as well. I have met some shady girls back when I did online dating, and that was a predetermined, " I'm looking for someone" scenario. This is a random text which would make me quite a bit more cautious.

Kidney Thieved.

If she's texted about missing someone I think you've been tagged as rebound material. I don't know what your meeting plans are so I'm not going to assume you need a SWAT team on call, but if you're meeting in a public place in the middle of the day and don't go swilling mixed drinks I think it's highly unlikely that you'll be mugged.

At best, it's a blind date so if things go poorly, you can walk away. At worst you're revenge sex followed by being strung along for a while so free drinks can be gotten whilst she's cruising for the post-rebound real deal.

If you need an out, start talking about your WoW cheevos. Loudly. (And call them cheevos.) (And refuse to explain what that means.)

I am quite excited to hear how this turns out, but yes this is most likely a guy or you are going to get murdered.

Ah, some of you are giving me second thoughts. I have to say my usual instinct is to not trust strangers, especially when their actions don't make sense. However I'm also old enough to take care of myself and this whole thing has really piqued my curiosity. If I do end up following up on this, I'll definitely have someone know where I am and meet in a crowded, well-lit place.

Oops, that was actually my mistake. Don't ban me!

Don't listen to these party poopers! This is possibly the best thing ever! If it ends up in flames you will still have one of the best stories to tell buddies while sitting around have some beers. Seriously, this is a no brainer; go on the date, but definitely look out for hitmen and keep some friends close by just in case.

You know, it's not for no reason that we all laughed when Jon Arbuckle tried to get dates from his wrong numbers

I agree with Yoreel, it's a good idea to check your facebook friends' friends lists and do some digging. Someone also suggested a wingman earlier on, and that's a good idea too; have them pretend they don't know you, and come into the cafe/whatever a few minutes later and keep an eye out. Not only is it a safety precaution, you can pretend you're on a spy mission together (which would be totally awesome). If it comes to the sexual relations, watch out for sperm-jacking. And STIs.

By the way, this thread is definitely reminding me of the Trainman story from Japan.

I say go for it because you can still live ok with just the one kidney.

(oh no, I am a skimmer and someone already made this joke!)

You are going to have to put me in the 'this is a scam' camp. I really envision a night of passion, followed by her expecting payment.

Thanks. I'm sure when she steals your kidney and leaves you for dead in a back alley, she'll be sure to thank you for not posting her photo on a gaming forum.

Seriously though, bring a friend. She definitely will.

That's a dangerous little game. What if she starts telling you about hers in return? SNAP! The trap is sprung!

Fixed. Better than a possible wild night with two women is a wild night with three women!

Plan for the worst, hope for the best, and all that

Meet her in a bar or restaurant with other people around. If she shows up with a bloody chainsaw, run. If she shows up alone, have a nice time. And don't take her back to your place.

Then you find out whether she plays Alliance or Horde, get belligerent about her being on the opposing faction and stomp out in disgust.

Seriously though, there's some good advice here, especially Forte's "bring a spy friend" one. Do it! A life with no risk is not worth living!

I never said her friend would be female. But I bet her friend will be large. And possibly armed.

Still works No reason to deny the kinky. Love all things, large or armed.

You guys watch too much CSI.

Say goodbye to your kidney.
