“Wow, you look even better than your hiking pics!”
Problem is… I don’t hike. Like, I don’t even walk briskly. I just nod and laugh it off.
We keep talking and she starts referencing stuff that makes zero sense. “Your dog is so cute—what was his name again? Bentley?” I don’t have a dog. Never have. Then she mentions how I told her I used to live in Colorado. Again, not me. I’ve never even been west of Kansas.
So now I’m trying to figure out if I have early onset memory loss or if she’s mistaking me for someone else entirely.
Finally, mid-latte, I ask, “Hey, just to clarify… what’s my name?”
She looks confused. “Jake?”
Friends… my name is not Jake.
We just stared at each other for a solid five seconds before she burst out laughing. Apparently, she was messaging two guys at once and mixed us up. The worst part? She said, “Honestly, I thought you were Jake this whole time but I was vibing too hard to stop.”
We ended up finishing the coffee, laughing about it, and weirdly enough… we’re still dating. She now has me in her phone as “Not Jake.”
