Girl Gives Guy A Fake Number, He Ends Up Going On A Date With A Gorgeous Actress After Texting Her By Accident

You’d think that when somebody you like gives you a fake number, things turn out wrong. But sometimes, the universe can give you a blessing in disguise. That’s what happened to a guy named Mike, a 30-year-old English teacher from Cleveland.

Mike thought he was texting a girl he went on a virtual date with, but it turns out that she gave him a fake number. So his text and a photo of a lemon bundt cake that he baked went to actor and singer Codie Higer instead.

26-year-old Codie and Mike got to talking, got acquainted, and set up a FaceTime date. Romance in the time of quarantine? You bet!

    Codie is currently staying with her mother in Cleveland because of the coronavirus pandemic, but her entire life is in New York. It looks like a twist of fate that both Mike and Codie are in Cleveland right now, doesn’t it?

    She told Elite Daily that her FaceTime date with Mike was fun and went well. “We acknowledged how bizarre the situation was and talked about movies, books, and each other’s careers.”

    According to Codie, her date was very curious about her life in NYC and what it’s like to be an auditioning actor. Meanwhile, she asked Mike about the difficulties of being a teacher during the pandemic.

    “We have a surprising amount in common! As far as I can tell, there was chemistry—we made each other laugh a lot, which is always a great sign.”

    Since then, the two have been texting every day and even made plans for a second date. Codie said that she isn’t using any dating apps and wasn’t even considering the possibility of dating during the quarantine. However, things change.

    “I’m always open to possibilities so… we’ll see! I will say, it didn’t actually feel as weird as I had expected to FaceTime a total stranger. I’m used to the weirdness of first dates and this didn’t feel that different! I’m a very outgoing person and I am always curious to meet new people, so this wasn’t that foreign for me.”

    I doubt she would care. She didn't like him, farewell, glad he found someone else.

    This is so damn cute! It's awesome that the fake number bit brought them together. That was a super uncool move on the other gal's part though. I can see giving out a fake number to get a pushy guy off your back at the bar, but there is 0 physical danger in a virtual date, which makes this just plain mean. Seems like it worked out for the best though!

    Who's to say this guy didn't get her number some other way and made up the whole 'fake number' thing? Maybe I'm cynical but my spidey senses are tingling here...

    Just...think that through, Sonelle. Who would have given him HER number...someone he does not know, has never seen or never met?

    Branding her as an actress is a little irrelevant - she's a recent talented graduate and also beautiful !

    I don't buy it, he starts "hitting" on her saying "Hi Im mike, Im 30 etc". In that moment, he couldn't have known if she was a little girl/little boy/ man/woman/old lady/old man. But suddenly he is flirting with that other person? I absolutely don't buy it. And she is an actress, of course she wanted to go viral somehow. This is absolutely staged. Mission accomplished Codes!

    I don't think that "Leah" chick exists... I think he knew exactly whose number he texted.

    Exactly my thoughts. Just like when you "accidentally" bump into your crush while shopping... 60 miles from your home... in your best outfit and perfumed...
