I went out with a Rachel last night, so this was very timely.
Was it as awkward as this?
I went out, sort of, with another person with the same name as me. Saying hey, Alex is a bit weird to me as I am used to people saying it to me.
It wasn’t super awkward. Until she said her ex’s name is Rachel…
omg moments like this are so awkward and also delightful and you captured both feelings perfectly!!
My partner: Kira; my friends’ partner: Ciara; my other friend (who put this comic in our group chat)’s partner: Ceara
I vote start a band and name it “Awkward Destiny”.
