I had been texting a lady about setting up an appointment, I'd seen her before and shes been ok, been then out of the blue I get a response that was clearly not meant for me. The text discussed services with client X that had not been offered to me. In fairness, I've never asked for these services, I know my boundaries, however, I must admit it bothered me on several levels.
I contacted her immediately and told her that I received the text that was meant for client X, that was 4 hours ago, haven't heard from since.................I don't think Cleveland has much of a chance, but if you're willing to give me enough points, I'll consider taking a piece of the action. And you still haven't paid me what you owe me from Game 4.
We all make mistakes. Don't dwell on it, and respect the boundaries and privacy.
Ever had a party-line telephone? (Damn, now I feel old) Same thing. Or a sibling trying to get their phone groove on pre-cellphone-days and you pick up another receiver. Just hang up and forget what was heard, and let them lead the discussion.
In your case, it sounds like she's leading it toward silence. Hopefully that's not due to how you told her of the mistake: pointing out it "was meant for client X" might have been too embarrassingly strong. A simple "oops, think this text was meant for someone else" can provide her the same information but in a less direct manner.
A guy who was obviously shopping around, called me to let me know that "he was here". I had told him he hasn't scheduled anything with me. He apologized and hung up. He was obviously about to see a colleague but not me for sure lol. I thought I was funny. I have also made the mistake of texting the wrong person in the past. It's super embarrassing.
we all know that this hobby first rule and i learn that too from other hobbyist is that everything is YMMV, even your ATF provider. I know for fact that when i read some of the other hobbyist review of m ATF's they did few things that wasn't done to me, does it bother me, no, why, because this is just a hobby, everyone's chemistry between the hobbyist and provider are different, some may have more connection than you and some may not, so no if i received some text that weren't for me and it detail some service that wasn't offer you, just tell her that she send it to wrong person, and move on. Pretend didn't happen.
Happy mongering.
...it was a mistake.

I don't see what good there is to be had in notifying her.
She will be embarrassed and may therefore not want to see you again.
Is that what you want?
Sounds like your relationship with her is a bit fractured from your POV anyway
After you notify her, I also agree with the advice to ignore it and try to forget about it if it wasn't meant for you. Hard to do, but at least don't let it bother you.
Also, I apologize for my previous post about the Cavs. I meant to send that to someone else at another Forum but I made a mistake. It happens. Sorry.

No, but I did get a "hey I'll be in your city" email that the dear dear girl sent to a LOT of clients....using CC rather than BCC. I mean...there were 30+ email addresses that we could all see!
The shocker is that many (many!) of said idiot clients had used WORK EMAILS like [email protected].
Just deleted it and was happy for the hobby email address I had used. Geez.
Lol I once had a meeting with a beautiful young woman and we had a fabulous time together
After I left and got back to my car I checked my messages on my cell and had one from her that said ...
He is good looking and safe
Lol , I texted her back and told her whoever u were checking in with did not get the message , I did
We both laughed and enjoyed many more meetings together
I have gotten were some of the ones that WERE meant for me.
I was texting with the salesman that provides lumber for my jobs on the way to a date. When I got there I sent her the message "Hey Hun I'm a bit early. Are you ready for me". I was still on his number. ROTFLMAO. He's never going to let me live it down. He still calls me hun every time we converse.
I got one from a provider intended for me but calling me by the wrong name.
A service provider contacted me and left a message, and was not happy, because the guy had not showed up for the date, and failed to cancel. I was debating calling her back, and telling her she had the wrong number, when she called back to apologize realizing she had the wrong person. Never mentioned it during our date, and neither did I.
