Lilac, ever the sharp one! It can't hurt to do some research, OP. You could also check the obituaries in the newspaper for the day she said he passed. You wouldn't know his name, but there wouldn't be many obits on any given day, anyway. Assuming you do see her again at some point, you could ask her about him, and get a name, maybe. Along with getting her name.... Or you could pull a Seinfeld, and snoop in her purse while she's in the bathroom.

She hasn't been active in over a week ... says active within 2 weeks. So it's not like she is out looking around. My paralegal is about her age. She is 26. She says I responded within a couple minutes I was sorry and hope she was okay and now I give it a week. My supervising attorney who has known me since I was a teenager says the same sing. I want to call her or express additional affection, but the majority of people on here and people I know are telling me otherwise. We've never talked on the phone except when I was driving and having trouble finding the bowling alley. Right now I am thinking we both seemed to like each other, she had a serious life event and needs to work through it, and maybe after a reasonable time frame we can pick up where we left off. In the first conversation I think I should tell her I wanted to send her flowers but didn't even know her address.

I'm actually incredibly surprised by the comments on the name thing here. I would bet money on what her name is based on her username, all I am saying is I am just not 100% what it is. If you really liked someone and enjoyed their company but then found out you had some sort of issue with their name would you stop seeing them?

Nobody said you should stop seeing her. They said it's weird you went out with her twice, and don't know her name. Especially since you like her.

Yep.

As of now, this is what I am planning to text her Sunday evening:

Hey I hope you are doing well! I am really sorry for your loss!! I wanted to send you flowers, but seeing how I don't even know your address, I felt like it would be inappropriate to ask given the circumstances. Anyway, I was really enjoying getting to know you If you were as well, maybe you can let me know once you are ready and we can figure out getting together again.

It's not the name itself that we have issue with - it's that you don't KNOW her name. We don't care what her name is.

Guess what? My name isn't really Liberty.

Your question makes no sense. Why would you have an issue with anyone's name? It's the fact that you don't know her name but have gone out with her a couple of times that is really weird.

As I said in an earlier post, send a text hoping she's doing okay and that you're thinking of her. That's all you need to say, and today isn't too soon to do it. In the midst of my grief right now, it makes my heart happy when I get a thinking of you text. I don't feel much like chatting but I'm grateful that people are thinking of me and taking the time to let me know it.

That is awful, sorry. Do not send that.
