I'm Ms. Strangely Familiar

Way back in my college days and until now, nothing bore me most than just being ordinary. I usually walk with eyes on the moving pavement stones along the road. I glanced up a little bit to see where I am heading. There was one instance, while I was walking beside the INC building, I heard someone calling some girl's name. I noticed that he's looking at me. I was so sure enough that he was because I as was the only one on the other end of the block. He waved his hand, he kept on smiling and staring at me.We were about 10 feet away from each other. I never smiled and waved back. I was actually about to walk passed by him. And at this moment, as we were getting closer and closer, I really tried to ignore him. I was already thinking he really had mistaken me for someone else. But I was still trying to doubt that maybe I just can't remember him as someone I know. We met at a certain point, still trying not to be bothered. He chanced up quickly to grab my left arm to let me know that he's there that we know each other. At the back of my mind, I was a bit scared.Now we're so close enough to make a better view each other's faces. (I was sure I do not know him)I could see in his face that he really knew me well. He said, "Lina how are you? how are the kids?". With all these questions, I just stood there smiling at him, hardly any word. And then , "It's me." he said with a very reassuring look. A minute passed by, I was trying to say something to him. I said and sheepishly smiled, " I really do not know you. And I am sure of that." He almost cut me off and blurted, " You're Lina my neighborhood friend, aren't you?" and then another one. "Where's your husband?". I told him no. The look of his face begun to change. I also told him I'm a nursing student and I just got out from my review class. I showed him the review center so to make him believe and I even waved at some of my colleagues with their questioning look.
What one thing I do not really understand was that it took him so long to realize that I was not her Lina.The scene ended with his face in shock and I already expected of him to be embarrassed. And he was. He asked for an apology many times too quickly.I readily accepted. This is just one instance out my handful experiences of being mistaken for someone else. Oh boy !
