What's in a name? Someone: "I left a message on your phone number bizzy, I did not have your name. Hope this finds you happy and well." Me:"Sorry to hear you forgot my name. I have been emailing it to you. You might have mistaken me for someone else. Someone: " I have the correct number and I don't have any other contact." Me: "Yes that's my number, what I'm saying I have been emailing you with my name and how come you say ... Thanks anyway I am not interested. Good luck. Whew that was funny. I was ready to accept his invitation for a coffee and meet him in person. I have thought about it for a long time if I should. I am very cautious here because I am in a foreign land and I don't know many people here. I guess it comes with age too, being more cautious.  I have been in touch with this man for about a month via email and then his last email he gave me his number asking if we can meet for a coffee. It was a different email thread. I replied and gave my 's number and told him I share the phone with my because my one was broken. ( Smart ei?) He left a voice and text message alright, but the heck he did not know my name? After emailing him with my name he now says he doesn't have my name. Are you kidding me?  I am not going to have a coffee with you without giving my name and without knowing your name too. Oh well I guess it's not meant to be somebody up there is saving me from disaster. Thank God. What's in a name anyway? Is there a lot to it? Firstly we were given names without any say in it. I have a cousin named Bimbo in Phil and when they moved to NZ obviously he has to change his name. If you are a business then your name should say what your business is about eg Toys R Us etc. Now what about the handle names here? There are some I wouldn't even dare write here because they are not worth the attention. I guess our real names doesn't really mean a lot because they were given to us by our parents. The handle names here are different because we chose them, to me, the handle somehow reflects one's personality, intention or purpose. It is our sole identification here in FFF, at least initially. Real names do not really matter here but outside FFF that is a different story. Do you agree? Now will you go out with someone who forgot your name? I will if we are going to meet as a group. But alone for a coffee? I did not and I will not. What about you? “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

True there is no harm but I think the invitation was intended for someone else. How could he have not known my name after several emails? “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

A name can make you or break you. I had a classmate in college then but it seemed everyone was avoiding her to be their seat mate. Her name was something like, Maan ,yes Maan and her last name was Tot a chinese.  Imagine having Maan Tot as your seatmate. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

I will not meet in private until I really really know them. I have heard of these stories too. Thanks for taking time to read and comment. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

Thanks Iris for your input. Maybe next time if I am going out with someone I will have to blog it here and get some feedback first from you all and if you don't hear back from me after 3 days of the meeting alert the police. LOL , I have been watching too much CSI on TV. Seriously I will have to let my family know who I will be with and where will I be. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

Ta Jane so far just one fail attempt here so I think that was really my luck that he forgot who he was texting. I believe the right person and the right time will come and I also believe there are still many gentlemen from here. Thanks again to your input. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

Bizzy, I remeber a story of couple who was so sweet the man calling his wife honey,, unknowingly he actually have forgotten her name First thing I remeber vividly is the name especially if I find that person interesting! But going out n meeting with someone who doest even know ur name, better drop him off! be careful always in meeting people here/ if ever be always with a company. keep family informed too as u said. There is no guarantee about their true motives and character... let us not assume. keep safe. happy hugs! Susan
