Should I call it "prank calling your ex"?

I have a friend who has never been able to get over his first girlfriend. He still has her number. And it's still active (I tried one time calling it for him and it rang). He plans on calling her and pretend that he's another person. Well his purpose is not so bad actually. He just wants become a textmate of hers so he could check on what's happening in her life, if she's always doing fine. Should he pursue his plan or not?

If I was in your friend's position, I would rather just go and call her saying who I really am, that I want to keep in touch, maintain friendship at least by text, email, whatever. I'm not that good of a liar, maybe that's why I would't pretend to be someone else.

Yeps, pretending to be not what you are breeds lots of complications than being sincere and honest. I was a player of that kind of game once and I regretted the escapade until this very day. Even though we still ended friends, it ruined my plans and my future with it.

LOL I told that to my friend and he responded, "What if she doesn't want to talk with me?"

Yes, well... errr. that's a big possibility if he tells her who she really is. Bu i agree, pretending would just make things more complicated...

hi, i think there is no problem having a communication to our ex partner even how pain he/she left to us,actually me and my ex still be friends and still have time for texting each other but all of them has a limitation and maybe your friend allow it she already know her limitation.

i wouldn't do it. it is over between them. he should find other girls who will really want to hear from him. i think he should move ahead and not look back

I agree with the others that he has to be honest if he calls this ex. If he calls and pretends to be some one else that isn't going to help things along. She can instantly not want to talk to a stranger and if he pretends to be some one she knows then what if she gets a hold of the person he is pretending to be and gets freaked out that she doesn't know who he is. Yes there is a chance she doesn't want to talk to him but there is always that possibility when dealing with an ex.

meh.... he should just say it's him and ask her what's going on... ^_^ I think it's better that way because being textmates, the girl might respond in a false way since she's talking to a "stranger."
