Gals, help me interpret what happened

Please help me interpret the following -

I had a good first date with a 25-year-old girl. The next day, she called me and said, "I just got a text message from someone saying 'Let's go to a club tonight' and I can't see who it was from, it doesn't show. I didn't want to be rude so I wanted to check if that was you."

I was dumbfounded and said "Well, that certainly wasn't me. Are you sure? It can't be anonymous. There's an easy way to check, it should be displayed somewhere."

She said "No, I've tried and it doesn't show it."

What do you think that was?.. I don't believe she really had any txt messages, but was rather trying to get in touch w/me. But then, why would she mention someone inviting her to a club -- to make me jealous??

All female input appreciated, thanks

sounds like she's a nut job!

Okay seriously... I think she was just using that as an excuse to call you and maybe to make you think someone else is wanting her. I'd not give it another thought!

I'm not a big game player....so I could be off on this. However, I know I once got a fuzzy voicemail and all I heard was a crackly male voice. The # came up "private," so I didn't know who it was. So - the first thing I did was called the guy I really hoped had called :-)

So - it could just be that she's really into you and honestly hoped you had texted her.

Or - she could just be playing with you. But I wouldn't automatically assume that. Not all of us play those kinds of games.

I think she really did get the message and she was really hoping it was you.

it is v. possible to get a message and be unable to know the origin.
The reason sometimes you get the number of the forwarding centre which is not anything in your address book.
I d say chances are she really got anonymous message and hoped it was from you!

The only person who truly knows whether she really got a message is her. Maybe next time you see her ask her to show you the message and see what kind of reaction you get out of her. I would just wait and see if she ever brings up something strange again and if she does than she is obviously playing games with you. This doesn't seem to be such a big deal.

Some cell phones don't show who sends text messages.

Yeah don't think too much into it. She just asked you if the message was from you. It doesn't mean anything. You may just confuse yourself if you try to look into this one. You don't want your interpretation to determine the rest of this relationship. If you like her, go for it!
