ok people, answer me this..

you make friends with someone over the internet. shortly after, the idea of exchanging numbers come up and successfully things switch over from the net to phone.. after some 3 months, you decide to call your friend(as would be normal by now) to chat as usual, but instead of that person picking up, someone different answers and tells you that 'you have the wrong number'. a brief relay of the said number confirms that indeed it was the same phone line that dialed you and you in turn dialed for 3 months.

What do you do? Get angry -as in feeling lied to (about the persons identity for example) and just drop everything? Step back and see if that person calls back by that number, and try to find out what happend? OR.. try to get to the bottom of it with the new person youre speaking to, possibly getting the true ID of who you've been speaking to for such an extended period of time?
beta:
personally, and this probably means beans, but i'd drop everything and go knit something. there could have been a number of reasons that the person did this:a) they're a raving lunatic who has multiple personalities (in which case i'd lay off in the first place b)they're really a 12 year-old girl whose time has been cut short by a parental figure (oh! so scandalous!) c) whoever it is has an overprotective other who found out about their lude nudy site and their racy nudy site friends and is out to battle the devil d) the person just didn't feel comfortable anymore with the way things were going. this is not to criticize you for anything you did but fuck man, people are weird....i mean the possibilities are endless.
i suppose the gamble you made was meeting up with someone on the internet and attempting to develop it past cyber-friendship. i'd say that's a tough road to take. but hey, there are tons of fish in the cyber-sea...so go knit.
beta:
oh, p.s. don't waste energy on being angry or being a sketchy pseudo-stalker (the latter doesn't do much for your chances of making other friends). i guess my missed point above was: it's not worth it. there are plenty of things in this big bad ass world that are worth passion...losing a cyber "friend"? id have to say, uh, go knit.
