Have you ever given a fake name to someone who hit on you? If so, what was the name, how did you come up with it, and why did you give a fake name?

Question

I'm guilty of having done this a few times in the past...

valentine74 · Accepted Answer

I have never had the reason to pass false names off truth. I do believe I caught a faker once and we ended up going on few dates

Grobmate · Accepted Answer

I haven't, which is annoying because that could have been a very useful tactic.

BlackRoseFairy · Accepted Answer

No, I haven't but my name is so common that I was accused of giving a fake name even though I didn't 😂😂😂

Wowgirl30q · Accepted Answer

I have a alias and I. d

PrincessGrail · Answer

Colleen or Amy. Colleen is my cousin's name, Amy I just like cause it means "beloved" in Latin.

Logorithim · Answer

No, never needed to because the unwanted approaches were from girls or women who already knew who I was.

Anonymous · Answer

I've done that a few times.

I wouldn't be able to get away with it at school because I go to a pretty small college, so it's not hard to find someone on the directory. I'm also the manager of my jazz choir, so my name (and my email unfortunately) is on all the posters, and I speak at all of the concerts. I'm also in a whole bunch of other concerts, with the choir or as a soloist. My name is in the program, or it's announced before I come on stage, or both. I'm also known for a few political organizations, and people like to record me talking to speakers that visit the campus. People on campus know who I am, even if I don't know them. And I live in a small town where everyone knows each other, and work in an office where everyone knows me.

I can only really get away with it when I go into the cities. In those cases, I'll use a name of a fictional character. I'm a writer, so I'll just use one from whichever story I'm working on at the moment. I usually relate to one of the characters more than the others anyway.

Maria Smith, Victoria White, Luciana shadow sometimes from a dream but mainly from a book called skullduggary pleasant where you have a given name (by parents) a taken name (you give yourself to protect you from being manipulated by your given name) and a true name (if you know it, it can give you ultimate power or spell your Doom) and I have a massive imagination it's all about what power I would have what would be my name etc

Same as Harry potter when I was more into that always imagined myself dating sirius black and being besties with lily lol

peculiaremowhale · Answer

the guy i like is nicknamed bugel boy. I bought a cashier lady some bugels for buy 2 get 1 free, then asked her if the guy i like worked there. my friend said "are you bribing her with bugels?" I said "NO! the question is an afterthought; an afterthought!!" I genuinely wanted to buy the cashier bugels. she was standing all day. And it turned out he did work there in the restaurant half she said. So his nickname is the bugelboy now.

CherryRoseChampange · Answer

Well it wasn't fake but I'd give nicknames because they're true and exclusively for people I'm cool with or hanging out with.

Names: Candy, Teddy, Storm (I wear grey hair a lot), Rose, and Cherry.

They all have history lol. And i give them because i don't want to share my full name all the time.

cth96190 · Answer

No, because if I am not interested I will tell her.
I enjoy the way that some females have a dummy spit when a man tells them that he is not interested.
Fundamentally, it is a man saying to a woman that he would rather go home alone and masturbate than screw her.
Call it revenge against the female collective for years of being rejected because I was not a scum sucking bad boy.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I don't remember giving a fake name but sure had plenty of females
whose done it to me and I'm the type of guy i don't get pushy with
girls/ women when i first start talking to them and i had some send
me fake pictures. So i don't know what to think about this matter.

Elliegirl · Answer

Once I told a guy my name was Jenny and wrote “ my number” on a napkin and gave it to him. The number I gave him was my area code-867-5309.

WompalooSoldier · Answer

Once I went to a party after there was some stupid fake drama spread about me in high school, it was amongst new friends and only one of the people there would recognise my name. I was watching Twin Peaks at the time and threw down a Dale Cooper on the group. None were the wiser :D

yeeeeeeeet · Answer

Nope. If a girl hits on me I just tell her to leave me alone. Don't really see why I would ever need to give a fake name when they can easily find out through various other means.

ChiPaPa · Answer

Quite simply, I've never seen a woman ever hit on a guy IRL. It's that rare thing. Also, female gagers, don't you dare tell me that you do. Who cares? Just because you happened to do so doesn't mean most women do. It's so few and far between that I can tell you it doesn't happen.

lacaras · Answer

Not necessarily to someone hitting on me, but I've used the names Nick Umland and Nathan Landeros for other purposes when I don't want to use my real name. Nathan is actually my middle name and Nick is someone I used to work with, I'm not sure where I got the last names, I use them because they don't sound made up I guess

311WasAnInsideJam · Answer

Many times. I'm the barhopping maiden of a thousand names. I mostly stick with common names so I don't have to come up with an explanation (I already have to do that with my real name, and my lack of a surname)

Call me Becky, Julia, Kristin, Tina, Michelle, Elizabeth, Stacy...

However, if I tell you my name is Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna you better not call me Stacy; That's not my name.

xTom98 · Answer

yeah plenty of times. Sometimes if the girl was a nice chat but Im not interested in her the same way she is in me, then I give her a fake one. Just because my real name is all over google with contact data etc.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

Lol your out here trying expose peoples secrets aren't you? Lol asking about what's the biggest secret your keeping (not verbatim, but something like that) not this.. lol

Miss_COLORADO · Answer

Cora, which is my middle name. I used it cause I didn’t want the person to know who I really was. When I was little I told strangers my name was Jordan in fear of them finding out further information about me and kidnapping me😂😂

Musicismysoul · Answer

Yes, it's either a variation of my name, or the first name that pops into my head. I didn't want people looking me up on google or finding my instagram or whatever.

morimeme1 · Answer

Yeah I did it a lot of times, I usually went with Anna because that is a basic name, honestly I do it because I live in a small country and my parents gave me a name that is unusual here so it's really easy to find me online just by the name without a surname, I don't want no random guys finding me on social media.

Texaskid1 · Answer

belle_kai · Answer

naijagurl · Answer

I’ve done that several times on this website. I usually just think of a name that isn’t super common but still believable.

Secret6620 · Answer

Same!!! I have done this in my early 20s. Now I just politely say I don't give my name to strangers💗🌸

Liam_Hayden · Answer

No. And when a girl gives me her number I immediately text her to see if it's real. If it doesn't go through then I know she isn't interested but was too shy to tell me. If it does go through, my text says, "Just making sure I entered it correctly."

Jjpayne · Answer

Nope, but this does sound like mainly a girl thing to do

I have a few times, usually to someone I'm not interested in, but just for fun also. I don't have a go to name, but my go to number is always 8675309. If a guy doesn't get that, I'm 90% not going to give him the real digits.

Amnooreen · Answer
