Your thoughts on this true event...

Hey guys,

I actually had this experience with me, and I think I'm going to turn it into a movie.

Basically, I got a girls number. I tried to call her, but it was the wrong number. It turns out that this girl always gets called because the last 4 digits are similar to hers, and the girl I was meaning to call. So an example:

The number I was SUPPOSE to call was 6887, but I dialed 6878, or 6778.

Either way, I messed up and called the wrong number. Me and the girl got talking, and I apologized, and she said it was a common mistake.

A couple days later I get a text from her asking me If I ever found the girl. I said no, because I didn't. We got talking, and then eventually I added her on MSN.

We don't talk anymore...Lol.

You think I could turn this in to a love story? They end up meeting, and fall in love...The two randoms...OR should I have him slaughter her :Drogar-Thinking(DBG

Ha kidding about the last part.

Give me some thoughts guys, thanks!
 
See if you can find a copy of the book "Singapore: A Novel of the Bronx" by Joe Bernardini. It details a "Singapore" style of dating involving dialing random numbers... matbe that will help...

I actually can picture it being a pretty good film, sort of like Swimfan. This kind of strange girl is sick of guys calling her when they really want to hook up with this other hotter girl. The main character calls her, but actually gives her a shot, but the girl can't take it when he ends up rejecting her.
 
Hi Robbie,

Akin to other's tongue-in-cheek posts, Long Distance was based on a misdial. If you want to scan movies based on the phone, try checking here and here. Now then, if you're interested in the reality of how women typically respond to a guy's misdial, read this blog. Apparently you found the winning lines on your misdial - at any rate, anything can work with a great script.

Regards, Michael

Ring My Bell

I have one of those telephone numbers that results in a great deal of misdials connecting total strangers to my line. And an especially large amount of long distance wrong numbers at that. When I was given my phone number I thought it was going to be soooo great as it was very easy to remember as it consists of a repetition of a very simple series of numbers. Apparently this very same repetition of numbers is exactly what happens when somebody starts dialing and then loses his or her place and starts over again.
I literally get 2-4 wrong numbers every day.
As a result I have become somewhat of an expert on how one should not deal with the unfortunate realization that one has, indeed, dialed the wrong number.
  • Do not slam the phone down when you hear my greeting. Especially don’t do this if you have dialed me in the wee hours. I have call display and I am not above calling you back at an ungodly hour in the near future to return the favour.
  • Do not argue with me. I am not f*cking with your brain. I have no hidden agenda. I would know that Steve does NOT live here. Trust me. I’d know. I’d probably smell him.
  • In reference to # 2. Seriously, I don’t care if this is the number Steve gave you and that you wrote it down right. STEVE DOES NOT LIVE HERE!!! Why would I lie? Stop smokin' the herb.
  • Almost as bad as #1 do not hang up the phone on me after I kindly and sweetly inform you of your misdial. It puts me in a grumpy mood and when I am grumpy EVERYBODY is grumpy. Somehow it will trickle down to you and you will pay.
  • Do not flirt. I am not going to meet you for coffee. I am not charmed by your spastic fingering that brought you to my world in the first place. Romance only starts this way in movies featuring Meg Ryan. In real life this is how serial killers find new fodder.
  • And NO! I am not cheating with your boyfriend. I am not answering his phone and then trying to cover my tracks. I live here and live here alone. Maybe you should address those trust issues in a more appropriate forum. Like an insane asylum.
  • Do not hang up and then immediately hit redial and then act surprised when you hear my slightly peevish voice again. I mean, DUH!
  • Do not just stay on the line after hearing that you misdialed and mouth breathe in my ear. Think on your own time, Neanderthal Boy.
  • Do not laugh manically when you discover that you have the wrong number. It is likely you have disturbed my very important TV watching or a much anticipated nap or, God help you, my blogging time. This is in no way funny, f*cker.
  • OK…DUDE!!! No need to get pissed. I understand you are calling long distance but this whole thing is not my fault. I will not reimburse you. I don’t care.
 
I actually met a grilfriend that I was with for two years, off a wrong number that turned into a conversation that turned into let's-meet-up that turned into let's-go-on-a-date.

She eventually turned out to be a turbocharged crazy-ass hell-*****, but it was fun for about the first eighteen months...
 
I think she's somewhere in either Paris or New York, now. A few years ago a friend of mine was in NYC and said he was sure he saw her walking toward him on the sidewalk...and he crossed the street.

And - talk about weird-ass synchronicity - yesterday I was at the ER and discovered that it's been so long since I was at St Jo's that her name is still listed as an 'emergency contact...'

Fortunately my wife thought that was funny.
 
I knew a woman once who met the guy she wound up marrying by sending an email to the wrong address. Would have been a funny story if I hadn't been thinking that we were dating at the time...

But yeah, I think it could be an interesting idea; I like agcohn's take that the wrong-number girl should be sick of this happening, but this time, for whatever reason, the guy digs her...
