OK, so I just got a strange phone call from someone, who for the sake of anonymity I shall call M. Not knowing any M's I was little cautious and I said something along the lines of 'I don't believe I know any M's', whereupon I was informed that a mutual friend J had given her my number. She said that she wanted help with some study. Still confused and having asked about the nature of the study I was told that it was about masturbation (!). I said that I wasn't particularly impressed about J having given my number out because I value my privacy (well, that and phone phobia, which I didn't mention) and she said that she was surprised because J had told her that she thought I would be fine with it (whatever 'it' is). She then said something about catching up* and I asked if we had ever actually met. Apparently, she knows me but we have never actually met, whatever that means. She then asked to speak to my sister, who was not here at the time. Finally, she said to say hello to my sister (who I'm almost certain doesn't know her) and said goodbye. She also mentioned several times that she was embarrassed (by my lack of enthusiasm presumably - but how could I be enthusiastic when I didn't even know what was going on).

OK, I'm really confused. What was that all about? It occurs to me that maybe J was trying to set me up with a friend (in which case it went terribly :oops:), but I don't know, that was a very odd conversation. I think I'm going to have to have a word with J when I see her next.

Does anyone have a clue what was happening here? I assume that I was supposed to understand what was happening so it should be possible to figure it out, but still... :?

* It was at this point that it occurred to me that this may not have actually been entirely about a study.

Heh, she did kinda sound cute... but she probably won't want to speak to me again. The stupid thing is, I'm in my early twenties (as is J), but this is teenager stuff.

And you thought there was an age cut-off for "teenager stuff." WRONG! :P

so it sounds like...

A) your confused because
B) J set this girl up to call you and you didn't know what to do and
C) Now you feel rather weirded out because this girl claims to know you and yet you can't remember, and yet she knows your sister and at this point
D) I'd talk to J, figure out what the heck, and it is a blind date as a I suspect,
E) call M back up and appologize for your stupidity and try all over again,
F) if D and E work, then you're Golden.
G) if not, then it never hurt to try to begin with.

Yeah, 25 here and I get as nervous and feel as out of place as I did at 15.

I'd take the excuse at face value. And be very upset at my friend for having given out my number. Still, it might be nice to meet this person, as she might have been trying to kill two birds with one stone (never a good idea - Crow will smite you for it). Take your chance, ask your mutual friend for a way to contact this girl.
