Well that backfired
The “whoops, I meant to send the text to someone else” texting move is a standard one. It needs to be done inconspicuously so that it doesn’t appear like you sent the text to your crush on purpose. This Elle character was discovered, and her crush immediately recognized what she had done.
Ouch. She told him the message was meant for her friend Jenna, but he bluntly pointed out that they don’t even have similar names – and then, to top it off, said he doesn’t like her either.
