Okay, the girl I'm going out with and I are sitting watching TV. We've only been dating for a few days, but I've been her friend since before elementary school. She mentions a mutual friend was talking about a movie that we passed. So I, the idiot that I am, accidently call her by the friend's name. She pulled away from me for a few seconds, and then went into my arms again.
I explained that it was only because she mentioned her name seconds before, but is that enough? Should I try to explain in detail that I have no feelings for this other girl or should I drop it?

Anyway, everyone else is right. She didn't think anything of it, and if you dwell on it, and mention it, then that's the only reason she might think something is up.
If you act all guilty, it usually means you are. Or at least that's what I've always thought when guys act guilty in situations like that with me. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]

I think she understands what u meant.But if it really means that much that you have to know that she isn't mad at you get her a present.Not chocolate or flowers....something that will last forever like your Love for eachother!

S_C answered Thursday March 17 2005, 9:36 pm: Whenever I talk about people, I mix up names all the time. And since you were just talking about her, then it's okay. It's not as if you were having sex and all the sudden you should out "OH JUDY" and the girl your with is named Mary. or something like that.
But drop in unless she brings it up. It's okay for now, no big deal. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
Ana21 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 9:22 pm: dont worry about it. if she had a problem with it, she would aproach you about it, sice youve known each other for a long time, shell be comfortable talking aobut it. if she doesnt mentione it, dont bring it up, unless shes acting weird, then tell her that you dont like this girl like that. hope i helped!

ShYbl0nD3 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 9:20 pm: Its normal for me and my friends to call each other a different name on axicent. But if a guy would call me a name of a different girl id be like "um... ok, What?!" in my head but i mean its totally normal to axecently say a different name if you're talking about that person.

karenR answered Thursday March 17 2005, 8:10 pm: I think you should just drop it. If you bring it up again it might make you look guilty if you know what I mean. Once was enough. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
maria2653 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 8:06 pm: you should tell your gf that you really love her. you should take her some where romantic to tell her. im not saying like spend all your money to take her to dinner. but this is my life long fatasy of what id want from my bf.... ask her what shes doing on friday after school, if she says nothing take her some where, dont tell her where though. take her to a feild one day and lay a blanket out in the middle of it and have a picnic/make out fest. shell know you love her after this.

sunkistsarah answered Thursday March 17 2005, 7:33 pm: I think that if she dropped it, then it's okay for you to do the same. If you notice her acting differently and she says thats the problem then yes, you should explain how it happened. But I think as long as she is okay with it and knew it was a mistake then I think its fine. [ sunkistsarah's advice column | Ask sunkistsarah A Question ]
BooBoo2007 answered Thursday March 17 2005, 7:23 pm: No, you did fine! Just never bring it up again, forget about it, and hopefully she will too. And the fact that she came back into your arms shows she forgives you! Just hope it never happens again...and if she mentions a friend, and you go to say somethin to her, avoid saying her name. Call her by a nickname or somethin...Much Love!!
MyPainIsReal answered Thursday March 17 2005, 6:52 pm: If she seconds later went back into your arms then she doesn't care but so much. I wouldn't drag on about it. Just drop it. If she had a problem with it, she'd let you know in some way or another that you could tell by. You made a common mistake among people so it's nothing to worry over.

MummuM answered Thursday March 17 2005, 6:41 pm: It shows that she totally forgot about it, when she went into your arms again. If I were you, I'd drop it and don't bring it up again. She already forgot about it and is okay with it all. So really there's no need to explain yourself.
