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?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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...
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah, but ths risks demonstrating your paranoia and insecurity to her.

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:
