Cosmin, it seems that you don't understand the very important concept of
Karl Popper's falsifiability - a main basis used in reasoning and in the
scientific method to determine whether a hypothesis or theory is true or
false. Look it up in wikipedia or many, many sources.
If you don't create a testable hypothesis or theory - worded and
logically constructed such that it can actually be tested, then you are
left with (what amounts to) a religious type belief that something is
true or false. Your definition of telepathy cannot be tested. Set up
falsifiable testable criteria. Your Indian girlfriend story fails your
own criteria. And even though it fails your own criteria - you declare
that your facebook exchange is an example of telepathy.

When a phenomenon is real, you cannot falsify it. Is elementary logic.
If I see red, you cannot falsify me seeing red.

When one observes a real phenomenon, then one can create (again
falsifiable) theories to explain the phenomenon. Telepathy is not
such.
