Posted November 7, 2021 I had a big one yesterday, and don't know what to do. Now this has nothing to do with needing a separate hobby phone. As many of us do, we gain real friends in the hobby both men and women. It is great to gain real friends here. Then real phone numbers are used to communicate. Another thing that is not a concern in this case, is neither of us have an SO. We can freely chit chat. So here goes...We are texting about the fun thread "Will the Bush ever come back". I compose a text that includes words like, "escorts", "women", "fuck", and "hairy kitty". I hit send. Only to immediately see it went to my dearest, older female friend in real life that has absolutely no knowledge about this in my life. Nor do I want her to! The "Oh Shit", I screamed was probably heard through out the building. I immediately deleted the text and put my phone on airplane mode ( I heard somewhere that doing this can sometimes keep a text from completing the send). The I called my friend the text was intended for in a bit of a panic, no I was full on panicking. Spent some time trying to figure out, what I could possibly say if my friend asked me what is this text about? Oh and this friend didn't seem to be to worried about it, it happens they said. She will probably just think well that wasn't intended for me. I can't even look at my phone, and might not for several days. I am certainly not going to text her in the near future. Just worry she might think why would she send something like this and it's obviously not intended for me....but maybe I should end this friendship with someone who is texting a person with all the above ^^^^ words in them It is slightly humorous, but on the other hand not so much. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 7, 2021 Throughout professional life I have adhered to the theory of never put anything in writing - including emails and texts and private messages - that you would be embarrassed by or harmed by if the communications became public. Confine anything that fits that category to verbal communication only. End a friendship? No, those are too hard to come by. I too have sent texts to the wrong person before but it only happens when I try to carry on two separate conversations at the same time, so I try to hold that to a minimum. The worst was a text meant for a girl friend that actually went to son. He tortured me over that for far longer than warranted! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2021 Unfortunately shit happens. Look at your phone and see if your friend has replied to you. She may have taken it funny, she may have thought WTF. Either way, see how she is responding to the mistaken text and go from there. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, depending on what the wording was, I personally think a woman with a hairy kitty that fucks is kind of hot! How escort to go into that, I will have to think longer on!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 7, 2021 Oh my god that sucks! We've all done it. I ALWAYS QUADRUPLE CHECK the number when sending a new text to a lady/provider wanting the first initial contact through text. I sent my sister a sexually worded text that was suppose to be sent to a friend. Yea, she responded back. I felt like a total schmuck for a week! As my sister made me feel like a total heathen, and rightfully so! Like leigeois said. The interpretation of the text is going to be based on the context of how words were used. The word escort is a tricky one to get around. I would be creative and find a crazy article involving an escort. If she ever brings it up. You could say you happen to come across a crazy article about an escort. Regardless, I can empathize and feel that empty stomach feeling of the not knowing. Keep your chin up lady! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 8, 2021 Oh man. I feel your pain. I'd say rip the bandaid off, and turn your phone on. Hopefully the airplane mode thing worked. I've never heard of it before, but let's hope it works! Best of luck naughty girl. 🤞🤞🤞 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2021 Happened to me once. I just said I got hacked and they were sending out messages. That worked as there is so much hacking going on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2021 Well chances are slim that your text got deleted. A phone that was connected will send a SMS text quicker than you can stop it. Cover story is you lost your phone at some store. It wasn't locked. Store was able to contact you hours later after it was turned in. Damm kids must have had a good time with your contacts. Say a number of texts were sent out but at least they didn't do anything other than prank texts. A good friend will never dump you for something like this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Been there done that before with fun worded texts. Best as others have said to just rip the bandaid off and go for it. If the friend received the texts, then just play it off as it it were intended for a SO and you were role playing with them. I mean everyone role plays and has fantasies! Cop/criminal, nurse/patient, escort/client etc etc 😂. Edited November 8, 2021 by zman999 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2021 I know how you feel!! Been there done that. Not fun. I can still vividly recall the chill, shutter that went through me once I realized what I had done. I could not breath for a moment. Actually started a thread about it several months ago. I was multi-tasking; typing an email while texting with a young lady cast in one of my shows and at the same time texting last minute details with another young lady about a very naughty, kinky, upcoming rendezvous. To make a long story short the YL in the cast received the text meant for the YL in the rendezvous........ I had rehearsal that night with the actress. I have faced some incredibly difficult situations in my life and I can tell you, walking into the theatre that night is still close to the top of that list. Take a deep breath baby girl. Feels like shit right now, no doubt. You will survive this mistake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beats hiding from it and avoiding your friend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2021 I got a text message from a personal trainer several years ago. As I was reading the text I same across the phrase "muscle games and fucking". As far as I knew, neither of those activities were included in what I was paying her for meal plans and workout routines. When I asked her about it, she was mortified! She explained that she was using talk to text and had no idea how "muscle gains and fat losses", which is what she actually said, got sent as "muscle games and fucking". Not sure that the auto-correct or faulty talk-to-text explanation will work for you in your situation. Hope that it all works out for you though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 8, 2021 I know that if you don’t have service long enough the message can fail to send. Hopefully that happened for you. If it did send I would try the talk to text explanation. I have seen texts sent using that feature from a pocket like a butt dial catching a background conversation. Maybe you can play it off as coming from something you watched. either way I hope it turns out ok and you don’t get too stressed out. Good luck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of solutions to the problem in this thread. A few weeks ago I had my phone stolen while I was at the gym, but I didn't tell anyone. I posted to my Facebook that my phone had been stolen at the gym, and I lost my contacts and to please text or message me so I can have my friends numbers again. This particular friend, was the first one to send her number As far as I know that never existed and it will remain that way. Now here comes the bonus. People messaged me their phone numbers that I never had in the first place 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2021 Ouch! Hopefully, you can come up with a convincing cover story. 😁 maybe something like you were chatting with a friend about an article they read and it just got out of hand… Anyway, this has oddly made me want to schedule time with you even more than before… Beat of Luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Ilovewomen and three or four others - It is great you are interested in how things turned out, but she already answered the question of what she did and how it turned out. Just read her last post in this thread again Thus ends this PSA, back to regular programming lol. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2021 Probably too late but my company email went through a similar thing couple weeks ago. A person about to retire sent out a farewell to everyone in our district. There was an almost immediate reply from a legitimate recipient that was weird and creepy. About half day later, the recipient sent out a legitimate email to all saying that her email account was hacked and she was working with our IT to find and fix the problem. Not sure if this was true or not but it created doubt in my mind. Good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
