so im friends with this girl and a little while ago i was talking to her on facebook and stuff and she had to go so we did the whole good by thing. now for some reason our goodbyes last longer than allot of our conversations wich are usually enough to fill five types pages MS word. and this time i said "why are our goodbyes so long?"... but i messed up i accidentally said " why are our goodbyes so love" i said "long*", "sorry typo" but she didnt really respond. could this make things awkward? what should i do? have i ruined my friend ship with her? i could really use some guidance...

    It was just a typo. I wouldn't stress so much over it. "Why are our goodbyes so love" doesn't even make sense.

    I say don't do anything and don't really bring it up again. Bringing it up will just put more emphasis on it and likely make things (more) awkward.

    I'm gonna assume that you like this girl in which case it's probably something that shouldn't matter too much. Try asking her to hang out in person and bring it up as something you two can hopefully laugh about. She should be able to tell that your not a creep thats in love with her after a facebook chat after actually hanging with you.

    A quick joke about it usually fixes it. I made a similar typo, but quickly made a joke about it was so Romantic-Comedy stereotypical, and then she agreed and we laughed about it for a couple a days via a few intentional typos during convos.

    If you can find humor in it, she will too. If you take it seriously, so will she.

    i cant even begin to imagine this is a real topic, but in case it is...

    forget it. it is an absolutely meaningless slip of the fingers. don't think about it and certainly don't bring it up. you already told her it was a typo, nothing's ruined. are you serious?

    yeah i am. but mostly because when we first were hanging out this other guy would always bugged us about liking each other and i dont know it just added allot of tension for some reason. im always worrying about making it worse...

    I used to bust out the typo "one sex" instead of "one sec" all the damn time.

    It became a running joke.

    No worries, if your friendship is over because of a typo, then there was no friendship to begin with.

    Oh yeah, don't worry about it man. Stressing about it will only make it worse.

    EDIT: It's like itching a rash. Seriously, it's an awkward moment and totally water under the bridge.

    Just saying.. She probably didn't respond because she had left already, not because she was freaked out over the word love popping up in big sparkly letters all over her screen. ;) It was a typo, it's okay.

    I do the 'one sex' thing too.. a lot. >_<

    I think you did it on purpose. "VE" is nowhere near "NG" on the keyboard! Just man up, nancy-boy and tell her you like her!

    One of my friends is named jo.

    Several times I have accidentally called her "ho".

    Or said "just a sex" instead of "just a sec".

    It doesn't matter. If it does you are talking to the wrong kind of person.

    Ha! Have you ever combined the two typos? "Just a sex, ho"

    Don't fret OP. It's likely she left by then or doesn't care or even if she does, as long as you act like it's nothing, she'll follow your lead.

    Not that I can remember. We'll see though :P

    For what it's worth, I remember being 14 and you're not really doing anything terribly abnormal for that age. As condescending as it seems, that's why a number of people in this thread thought you were a ridiculous person, then heard your age and went "oh, okay then".

    Also, IMs are always somewhat meaning-ambiguous. There's no body language or tone to the words, just text. Also, people leaving is even more ambiguous because you never have any idea how or why they had to leave. It's natural for your mind to think of the absolute worst possible reason - her seeing your typo and becoming incredibly offended then immediately signing off to go be angry about it - but facebook chat is notoriously bad at randomly signing some people off randomly, but besides that you guys were saying goodbye. She was leaving. She left. It's all good man.

    Could be a Freudian slip but who cares you're young and she probably doesn't even know who Freud was.

    or she does and she already knows Freud was a raging idiot.
