Why can't I tell the difference between something that's cold and something that's slightly wet just by feeling it?

The human body can't actually detect temperature, all it can do is detect how quickly heat is leaving or exiting its skin. Water is a good conductor of heat and room temperature water is colder than the human body, so you'll lose heat when touching it about as fast as something much colder that doesn't conduct heat well.
