Dumb idea


Question Posted Thursday January 11 2007, 8:45 pm

I tried doing something and I guess it was a horrible idea after all.
I'll tell you the situation.
Kay well theres this boy[jimmy], me and my friend like but he doesnt talk to us that much anymore.
We decided to mess around and we made a screename, as if we were someone else [jenny].
We talked to him 2 nights in a row for like 5 hours, he even stayed up talking to "jenny" .
He never really knew her that well at all, becuase they are in different grades but they have like gym or computer the same period, so they see eachother on occasions.
The reason we chose to be Jenny was because Jenny was the best friend of Caroline, the girl Jimmy likes.
Continuing with the situation,he seemed to be nice and talk to Jenny online, he would always have something to talk about and try and make conversation.
He kinda started to flirt with her online.
Then on Monday,after the weekend of doing this, we realized something... what if he says something to Jenny about the IM's online.
She has no idea we did this, but what if Jimmy started to like her.
I figured that we wouldnt go on the screename again and just leave it at that until i saw Jimmy's BEST friend randomly talking to Jenny , they never talk!
Im scared that Jimmy told his best friend about her and now they might like her!
Me and my friend feel so dumb for doing this, even though it was fun
But what should we do!

Ok, since you don't want Jimmy & his best friend liking Jenny, you should definitely confess.
Just say something along the lines of, "Sorry this really isn't Jenny's screenname, and she was never the one talking to you."

If you do this, Jimmy will:
1. Believe it.
2. Think it really is Jenny, and that she's mad or doesn't like him.

Don't say that it was really you and your friend or he'll think you're weird.

Hope things go well.

I was on the edge of my seat reading your question, wow. Well, Jimmy is going to figure out that it's not really Jenny eventually. If Jenny finds out it doesn't really matter because she has no way of knowing that it was you. Breathe easy. This situation isn't as bad as it seems.

I have to options for you. The first one is to continue talking to Jimmy pretending that you are Jenny. It's fun. If you keep doing it, he'll figure things out and eventually ask you if you are really Jenny. That's when you confess and say you're not. He'll be mad and maybe hurt, but it's too late to stop that. It's not like he'll know that it was you and it's not like it's a hard thing to get over. Everybody knows that you can never know who is really talking to you online. It's his own fault even though you guys were the ones that did it.

Your other option is to just tell him now. Go on the screenname and tell him that you're not really Jenny and that you're sorry. Don't tell him who you are and act normal in school. Again, he'll get over it and be just fine.

If you stop talking to him on the screenname altogether, he might not ever know that it wasn't really Jenny. That isn't right. You'll have to tell him in some way. Now or later doesn't really matter. It could get really funny if you keep it up. If you feel the need to come clean though, do it.

Pretending to be other people online is fun. There's no doubt about that. It can definintely get messy though, so next time be prepared for the consequences. Good luck! :)

One thing don't confess to him or anyone about it because either he's going to think your weird stalkers and/or never like you two. So in fact if he never knows about the truth nothing can go wrong, just let it all play off. And if he starts to talk to the real jenny and begin's to like her hen you two have to deal with it. But to risk humiliation don't tell anyone. Good Luck!
