I'm in college, its Christmas break, so everyone is back at their respective homes. My gf has been sending some pictures of herself to my cellphone for the last few days. However, tonight I got 2 more of these pics (clearly from the same set) from two different numbers. I checked the area codes on these numbers and they are from two separate states, both of which are far away from where me or my gf lives OR where we go to school. WTF?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Received pics of my gf from 2 different out of state numbers

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

did you try texting/calling those numbers? That will give you a good clue (if it's a guy or what).
As for not sleeping, this means you are overly (read AFC) concerned and worried... IMO you're setting yourself up for a very heartbreaking ordeal if worse comes to worse.

My psychic powers are currently down.

Who cares? Really. You can't sleep over this?vlf445 said:
Cripes man, you're going to lose your girlfriend if you get suspicious over things that could have a brazillion reasons all of which would not be suspicious.
I mean, let's say we're going for the worst option: Your girlfriend is sending pictures of herself across the united states in a master plan to get at least one on a phone in each state. Like a reverse scavenger hunt. Then, we could add that each person getting a picture randomly chose your phone number to forward it to out of 200,000,000 phone numbers.
Buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.
And, get some sleep you bonehead.
Or, if you still can't sleep after a while, take pictures of yourself and send them back.

Could there be a technical explanation for this? Maybe there was a glitch in the phone service provider and it caused the wrong number to be attached to messages that your gf sent? It's certainly unusual, but things like this have been known to happen.
And if that's the case...maybe it's better you don't send any pics back to those numbers, hehe.

I've been trying to find out if there is a technical explanation...no luck. If anyone has any knowledge on the subject I'd really appreciate the help. I would love to put my mind at ease...whether for better or worse. Can a picture message be re-routed through somebody else's phone? Or am I gettin a fool made of myself...
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

This is the best I can do: A relation of someone I know, an old lady who knew the land line number of a friend of hers off by heart, one day rung up her friend only to be out through to some other household. Naturally she assumed she rang the wrong number so she hung up and tried again only to get through to the same person. All sorts of crazy thoughts went through her head... was she going senile? Was there someone else in the house she was ringing? It later turned out (acknowledged by the phone company) that some weird switchboard glitch meant that for a few days, the phone numbers of 2 different houses were swapped.
Could something like this be happening in your case? Nobody knows. Look, you're not going to get the proof you need, I'm sorry to say. You're going to have to put your own mind at ease.
Can you think of any other plausable explanation? Are there any other indications that your girlfriend may be unfaithful? If the answer to both these questions is no then my advice is to assume the best and stop being so paranoid.

15 responses and no one suggested the easiest way out: can you just bring it up with her?
from her response you will have a better feel of what's going on. If she comes up with an instant explanation that is simple and matter of fact, then you stop worrying.
If she takes a long pause, she gives you a far fetched explanation or loses her cool, then you know something is up. I also suggest doing this when you're face to face with her so you can better judge her reaction.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Could she have friends home for x-mas from other states?
It's happened to me
This happened to me. Twice actually. Once on the date of this post and the other the day before. They both contained pictures of climbable places (been playing too much Assassin's Creed II recently) so I could tell they were coming from my friend. The one I got today replied saying that they had no clue what was going on and it was probably a glitch. I agree with this person, especially during this time, where people are communicating with one another, so numbers may just be glitched up and attached to different messages and what not. This may just be the same situation you're in, so don't let it trouble you. I'm sure that your girlfriend isn't cheating on you. Maybe the phone company's having problems, but you shouldn't be. Sleep well, my friend. :yes:
