I sent email to wrong girl
« on: December 27, 2008, 05:58:59 PM »
I've just started this journey about a month and a half ago. I've been talking to 2 girls from Ukraine (I'll refer to them as girl1 and girl2) and I definitely like girl1 better.

I sent a very short email today to girl2 saying something like "Hi girl2, How are you? It was nice talking to you yesterday. Here's some pictures I took from a party I was at last night. Talk to you soon." After sending the email I checked and I noticed that I forgot to attach the pictures. I reopened the email, attached the pictures, simply wrote "I forgot to attach the pictures in the last email." Then I accidentally forwarded it to girl1.

What should I do now? Next time I talk to girl1, should I apologize? Last time we spoke, I was talking about my plans to visit her in 2 months, and she kind of joked about how I'm probably planning my schedule on which girl I visit on which days. I remember kind of just laughing it off.

Does this mistake make me look careless? Is there an understanding that most of us guys will be corresponding with multiple girls to hedge our bets?

Myself, I told everyone that I was writing to other ladies. Then I settled on just one lady to write, but that is me.

I would just tell her what happen. Right now you are only friends, just be honest with her.

Some ladies will not like that you are writing different ladies and others it will be ok. But do you really want someone that is jealous now in the writing stages.

Good luck

I once received a text message from a potential RW that was addressed to another guy whose first name started with the same lettter as me. I called her on it and she just said that it was another man that she is friendly with and that was that.

eze: You'll have your answers soon enough I suspect >:(. Regardless of what that is (I suspect it won't be what you hope for if she is as I have come to know Russian Women) let the lesson be learned. Your attention to detail has to lift quite a few notch's if you want to survive this pursuit.

Mrs I/O comments (In a roundabout, polite sort of way), if a guy sits with one leg either side of the fence he's most likely to get his *&^% caught in the top wire. Me thinks you're unlikely to untangle your nuts from this one, but good luck trying. Just remember, RW rarely forget and this one may seem OK for a while, but don't be surprised if she throws it at you at a most unexpected time later :o.

Really? We've only been talking on the phone maybe once or twice a week for the past month. I also see that she's logged in every day on EM, so I'm sure she's corresponding with others too. I probably won't bring this up though if she makes a big deal about my mistake.

I guess I'll find out soon enough.

FWIW, my fiancée thinks that if the woman is worth keeping she will realize that you will be writing to other women at this stage and will shrug this off as long as you're honest about what happened.

Unless of course you've told her explicitly that you're only writing to her in which case you've been proven a liar and that's a bad thing.

Should only be a problem if you said your not writing to someone else.  You both have not met in person so you really do not have a relationship.  I would say nothing.  Bringing it up will make you look stupid.

Well, I just talked to her, and she never brought it up. When I mentioned it, she actually made a joke about it, and I told her I was a little bit embarrassed about my mistake. We both had a big laugh about it. Her sense of humor is elevating her way above the other girl.

I see from your last post that you already did bring this up with her.

But being strictly analytical, there seems to have been no need to do so.

"I forgot to attach the pictures in the last email." Then I accidentally forwarded it to girl1.

So you exchange frequent e-mails with her, right?  So why couldn't you have forgot to attach the picture to her e-mail also.

If she asked you later what e-mail you were talking about; you just say the last one.

If you had actually sent this same pic to girl 1 before and she tells you about receiving it and wondering why you sending again.  You just say you forgot you had already sent it.

Of course my logic might not work if there was more involved in the particular picture than you told in your original post.

Otherwise, it seems like you made a mountain out of a molehill.

What if he never sent the photos before and she ask why....? Then what? lie to her..... Even what you say above would be a lie.

Just be honest, you get what you put in. Eze did right in my book.

Simply put.....RW/UW are NOT A/W.

You lie to an A/W and get caught, some candy or roses gets you out of the dog house.

You lie to a RW/UW and you are screwed, dead meat. She will almost NEVER forgive you for "lying" or "treachery".

IMO, there is a simple explanation for their "no tolerance" for lying/treachery policy:

"The men in Russia/Ukraine dish out plenty of this cr*p (lying/treachery) to these poor women every day, they don't want it from A/M to."

Well, if i were you i would behave as nothing had happened, but then if she asked why did you send same pictures again, i would definitely say the truth. You can explain that you do it as you don't want to be screwed up, it is like back-up plan. To my mind, it is always better to be honest, as real love and strong relationship must be buid only on trust and honesty!

I bet that you never do this again.   :D

And you will spend a minute to verify the address every time you send an email.

While your lady laughed at it, I would never bring it up again.

I've made this same mistake before.  It's how I learned the meaning of the Russian word дурак.   :cluebat:

I haven't made that mistake again.  Now, even when I'm sending out lots of letters, I always get the names right.

Well, if i were you i would behave as nothing had happened . . .

Good advice.  In many situations, the first party involved knows something and assumes the second party does to; so they think they must explain it.  But often time the second party didn't have a clue about the situation.  Let lying dogs lie.

For instance, I was on a recent first date with an AW.  As we were having a nice dinner, she told me.  Look, one of my eyes is slightly lower than the other eye.

I had not noticed, being typical male who doesn't see such subtle things, unlike females who probably all noticed it right away.

But once she mentioned it, then I couldn't keep from thinking about it everytime I looked at her.  It ruined the moment.

Also, ever notice how someone with a pimple keeps putting their finger on it, thus drawing everyone's attention to it?

A number of years ago my then girlfriend sent me the wrong message. She realized it as soon as she hit send.

She apologized immediately and then opened up on many aspects of her life. It turned out to be a real plus and I never talked about it again.
