Today, after buying the plane ticket to Glendale, CA to visit 17 year old Courtney who I met on a dating website, she called me for the first time to say that she was actually 19 year old Seth from Atlanta, GA. FML

Except for the fact that a pedophile is described as somebody who likes prepubescent children generally between the ages of four and ten.

GG meeting a "17 year old" you hadn't even seen before... ydi for sure
#13 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:12am by TomFantastic
Wow...I'm glad this Seth kid really has a life.
And you too. You spend your days believing
random people on the internet? Wow...the
world is just FULL of winners. Stop being a
fucking creep and get a fucking life. YDI.
I believe 17 year olds aren't even allowed to legally sign up for dating sites? At least in the states. 18+. YDI for not being able to find a REAL date...get your ass off the internet for a day and go meet people. o_O
#15 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:14am by lenahope19
Why spend money on someone you don't even know? How was the holiday though? xD
#16 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:14am by ForWhatItsWorth
he definitely doesnt HAVE to be a pedophile, what if he's 18 or 19? that's acceptable. the real lesson here is A) YDI for being a dumbass and B) Craigslist is not by any means a dating site.(i know its a difficult concept, but you'll get it)
#17 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:15am by The_Master
YDI for not calling before =P why would you visit someone you haven't even talked to, only chatted with?
Awwwww that sux... you never talked on the phone???????????
And how is he a pedophile he could also be 17.
some1 plz explain #5 i dont get that... at all
#20 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:17am by Purane2forever
u must be the stupidest person ever. have fun in cali!
#21 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:18am by soundmind311
Couldn't you just drive by the local high school in your creeper van to find a 17 year old? FYL dude.
#22 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:19am by marcmcclelland
But you were okay with it when you thought she was a 17 year-old-girl? At least 19 year-old Seth is overage.
#23 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:20am by dancing_bear
The scores have been tallied.
Seth: 1
You: 0
YDI for online dating.
#27 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:22am by barlessprison
YDI for being an online predator, and could of been worse, instead of 19 year old seth it coulda been Chris Hansen!!!
#15 - It was 16 when I was using them. Granted, I started when I was 15, but all you've gotta do is click the wrong age and put your real age in the description somewhere. :-)
If you're going to date online, you're going to need to ask yourself why people think it's a bad idea and find ways to protect yourself from those dangers. Like this one. We need to introduce you to a 'telephone' or 'Skype.' With these devices, you can hear someone's voice! From far away! And from here you can *usually* tell if it's really the gender and age that it claims it is!
#30 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:32am by regalarius
Let's buy a plane ticket to see someone I've never even spoken with on the telephone before. That's a great idea. YDI, dumbass.
Muahahahaha! Owned.
Internet dating!?!
Aaannnnndddd lame-o was his nnnaaammmeee-oooooo!
#32 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:38am by DrunkenLullaby
YDI not for internet dating, nothing wrong with that despite what some of these assholes say, but for buying a plane ticket without ever talking to "her" on the phone.
#36 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:47am by bethinabox
Maybe Seth was Courtney when s/he was 17? Ya never know, man.
#37 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:48am by neuroseizer
Its pretty embarrassing that you were so into the relationship that you we're going to fly there and it was really just some dude and his like nerdy buddies or some morbidly obese guy who can no longer get out of bed and has nothing better to do. And then they felt so bad they told you the truth hahaha!! Sorry but that's hilarious. It just is. You should meet up with Seth, hit the bars and try to meet a real girl! Seriously man!!!!
#39 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:56am by whatev5297
LOL, FYL.
Hope you made the best out of your trip, Lessoned learned. If you still stick with the online dating thing, dont go farther than 1-2 hours from your area. Seth must have said some pretty interesting things for you to travel. YDI
I'm sorry but what the hell is a Seth?
Anyway, bad luck there. Lessons learned and YDI due to things you didn't do but it has nothing to do with going out and finding a girl in a bar or something. Those places normally have the chicks I don't want to date in them...
Who says the OP is a male? Seth could have been getting off on lesbian desires. Anywho I flew to Cali to see someone I met on myspace but I spoke to them through several different technologies for over 2 years and determine the person was who they said they were. I was 22 when I went and even had the person's personal info faxed to me and THEY ppaid for the ticket.
you really need to follow the rules of the internet
Men are Men.
Women are Men.
And little girls are FBI agents.
#44 - On 06/15/2009 at 11:11am by shirvon100
Dude,the first rule of online dating: Search within your area. 50 miles is the recommended limit.
2. There is nothing wrong with online dating if done with caution. ALWAYS talk to them first before you decide to spend money on them... Also use "DATING SITES" like match.com. Myspace doesn't count and neither does Friendster or Hi5.
3. We need to know your age. If you're over 21 and looking for a 17yr old, that is legally defined as statutory rape. It's not exactly paedophilia since I think once they hit 16, it goes into the statutory rape area. So on this count,if you're over 21,then YDI MUCHO!!!!!
4. CHRIS HANSEN!!!
5. If you live in or around Atlanta, see if Seth will hang out with you. Who knows? You could become good friends.
Keep looking but for someone over 18. I met my current boyfriend online and we get along well and he only lives about 5 miles from me. So online dating isn't all bad; it just makes it easier to meet people you wouldn't have met offline.
#47 - On 06/15/2009 at 11:18am by bollywood_rocks
online dating is ok, but not checking thoroughly is NOT ok.
come on, why would u meet this person when u haven't even talked on the phone.
how can u be sure the person is a he/she.
god, ydi for not checking like #43
17?! A little bit under the legal age, isn't it? Can we report this guy? This FML is pretty much a confession.
Pedophile! YDI.
#51 - On 06/15/2009 at 11:29am by littlemisslee
Thats why you dont meet people online!!!!!!
get the guts to go out and talk to hotties
#55 - On 06/15/2009 at 11:42am by Alex_Gaskarth
You guys realize he could be a teenager? There is a site called espinthebottle.com. Dating just for teens.
#56-the fact that he is trying to meet people online probably means that he hasnt been too successful in finding girls in real life. FYL though because she mysteriously changed from a girl to a guy.
That's what you get for thinking with your dick and not your brain.
Thankfully it WASN'T a 17 year old female! Let that 19 year old guy legally suck you, you disgusting pedofile.
Gah, i met a really disgusting guy online once, internet dating -a one-time only mistake for me.. never again!
#63 - On 06/15/2009 at 12:04pm by mylittlecrow
ugh if shes 17 then he isnt a pedophile since she would be a fully developed woman by that age. a pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to CHILDREN. like elementary/middle school age children. but YDI for not at least talking to "her" on the phone before spending the money to go see "her".
YDI don't you know you should NEVER trust dating websites?!
#69 - On 06/15/2009 at 12:28pm by imnotrosie
just because he might be 18 or 19 doesn't make it okay to date a 17, I'd rather wait till there 18 then go to jail or have a "pedophile" mark on my record. Why did it take so long for you two to contact on another anyway, I'm assuming that you two talked for awhile anyway, unless you met them online and two days later decided "hey, maybe I should fly down and see you"
dude some of ya'lls comments are just plain rude. OP youre kind of an idiot though. sorry.
but seriously man
#72 - On 06/15/2009 at 12:37pm by ashole1990
#54: We don't even know the age of the OP, dipshit. Now YOU go die in a fire. Kay?
OP: Ha, should have talked to "Courtney" before going to California. But it's okay, I still give you a YDI just with a FYL.
#73 - On 06/15/2009 at 12:46pm by ohhhhshizzz
#71, there is a one up one down rule. If he is 18 and the girl si 17, it is NOT considered statitory rape.
Although, I found it weird I live in Gdale. We don't have an airport lol. Im not saying this isn't real. Im just saying its strange someone would reference Gdale rather than just saying Los Angeles.
#75 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:04pm by MonkeySpeaks
Wait wait, so 17 is not an age of consent? (sorry, not from US) In most of the western world the age of consent is no higher than 16. Above that what happens in one's bedroom is no one's business. And btw, having an older significant other does not imply one sleeps with them ;)
IMHO: 1. the OP was clearly not bright. Visiting before talking on the phone?!
2. I think words like "pedo" "statutory rape" are abused and should be spared for where it makes sense to use them, i.e. *children*, *non-consensual acts* *no discernment*, etc. Let us not make look like criminals people who are obviously not. So the OP, pedo? Nope. Moron? Hell yes!
Criminal Justice major here.
Age of Consent in a lot of states (including both CA and GA) is 16.
@OP
Go anyways! Meet someone there; God works in mysterious ways, but know that your feet and heart are guided by the one most high!
#76: The OP IS a pedophile. In the US it's 18. If they had sex. . . illegal. Besides the fact. . . What person any older than her would have want to have sex with a 17 y.o.??? That's just wrong.
Wrong. The age of consent varies from state to state. For example, in NY it's 17 but in many states it's 16 [like GA]. In some states, it's 18 [like Cali]. Plox to be learning something before you start talking out your ass.
#218 - On 06/17/2009 at 4:06am by star_ver
BTW, how do you not talk to someone before spending that kind of money
#81 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:17pm by MonkeySpeaks
So did you change your flight to ATL and meet 19 y/o Seth?
U r a perv so WTF?
FYL
#83 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:27pm by Random_Poster
Please learn your dictionary people, being attracted to a 17 year old is NOT being a pedophile, I guarantee you every guy here has seen a girl and thought damn she's freaking hot, then found out later she was 17. If this guy is over 20 then yes it is a bit creepy he is actually trying to date a 17 year old though, but what if she was turning 18 in a week from his visit? Then would it be creepy or that week magically makes it ok? Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
Pedophile - an adult who is sexually attracted to young children.
17 is not a young child, 17 is a young adult, get off your self righteous high horses. 17 is legal in many states.
YDI for meeting people online and being a pedophile. well..im not sure if you're a pedo but you YDI anyway :P
#85 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:30pm by DangerousBabee
wow, hav u ever heard of predatorz or tht online dating iz stupid becuz i dnt even kno who ur really talking 2?? YDI big time
#87 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:37pm by cheeroxsoxtonz
There's nothing wrong with online dating. For all you hostile people who are against online dating, I just want to say it can turn out FANTASTIC. I met my boyfriend online and we're very compatible and going on our 3rd anniversary soon, that's better than a lot of people who use tranditional dating means if you ask me!
That being said, don't go all in unless you REALLY know who that person is! It worked out for my boyfriend and I because we weren't dumb enough to assume anything! I joked that he was probably a registered sex offender, and he said I was most likely a transvestite. We were both relieved when we first talked on the phone ("hey you're really a guy/girl and you sound like the age you said you are!") and then when we met up ("you're REAL!"). We both had an "emergency plan" worked out with our perspective GROUP of friends in case things get out of control...so...as long as you are cautious, I don't see anything bad with online dating at all.
So yeah...I guess at least you learned your lesson?
#88 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:37pm by charm4eva
Either way, if you're a teenager and are resorting to online dating, good luck. Wait til you can get rejected in bars before you turn to online dating. Otherwise, you're just giving up before you're a legal adult.
#90 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:52pm by qwerty_ytrewq
You should have went and visited Seth in Georgia after the fact.
#91 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:54pm by L0velivexbeach
Yes #68.
OP: 17 is legal in many states, but California isn't one of them. Georgia is, however. Ironic, isn't it?
YDI for not paying attention though.
#94 - On 06/15/2009 at 1:58pm by FoundManyLemons
YDI for fucking flying god knows how far away to meet some 17 girl you met on a dating website withot even having talked on the phone. looks like we have a pedo on our hands. are you like 30, 40? where's chris hansen when you need him? why don't you have a seat over there.
Easy there CHESTER what kind of sicko looks for underage girls to date on the internet. You're a sick f**k and will probably end up on Dateline NBC soon enough.
"mmm I too love creepy old men who I meet on the internet!" - courtney.
are you fucking kidding me?
YDI. creep.
#98 - On 06/15/2009 at 2:15pm by nineteensixty4
YOU TOTALLY DESERVED IT! you were gonna fly to meet someone you'd never even spoken to on the phone before?
actually, 71, it does, in most states, 17 is the 'age of consent' so yes, if you're 18-20 and in any of those states, it is perfectly legal. so, think before you speak. and don't try to make a point about something you have very limited klnowledge of. so like i said before, if the OP's only a kid himself, its acceptable. at any rate, after reading this again, i call shenanigans. no way is anyone at all stupid enough to go meet someone they've never even spoken to on the phone, except kids who dont know any better, after hearing about those poor souls who get abducted by child predators. OP if your that stupid, its gonna be 45 year old bubba one day, and he's not going to call you and laugh. he's gonna kidnap you and screw you in a very uncomfortable place.
#101 - On 06/15/2009 at 2:23pm by The_Master
lol aww i live in glendale :]
anyways though, how old are you? that would really matter to the story cause if your like under 20 that's not too sick but if you're old you totally deserved that one.
You guys need to look up the definition to "pedophile" before calling people that. All but like 2 people were wrong.
If he is 18 then he can meet a 17yo "girl."
But YDI for never having spoken to this person. Get your ass off the computer and go OUT and meet real life people!
#104 - On 06/15/2009 at 2:30pm by ohJeeznotme
YDI for buying a plane ticket to hook up with a child you met online. Just be glad Seth wasn't a law enforcement agent trying to trap people like you who like to entice those who prey on the underage
Wow everyone, nice assumptions about statutory rape. Because everyone on the internet is 30 or older.
If I had a dollar for every time I saw a comment on here from someone who's in middle school or high school... COME ON, people. Is it that hard to believe that there are WAY more normal, gullible teenage boys on this site than there are sex offenders?
Besides, yes, 16 is the legal age in most states. You all just have selective hearing on what you want to believe.
I hear the age of consent is 12 is some parts of Mexico. Maybe go there next time.
#107 - On 06/15/2009 at 2:39pm by cthulhu1138
I live in Glendale, but actually theirs no airport here the closest one is Burbank/Glendale/Pasaedena Bob Hope Airport:] but yeah this guy is a pedo! eww.
#108 - On 06/15/2009 at 2:42pm by StephenMarquez
OWNED. Seth is a fucking hero, I must meet him.
What site was he on again?
#109 - On 06/15/2009 at 2:44pm by allmidnighteyes
regardless of how old you are you shouldn't be talking with the intention of dating anyone online under the age of 18 because 1) they shouldn't be online looking for relationships until theyre 18 and 2) they could be a 19 yr old male...ydi
#112 - On 06/15/2009 at 3:02pm by butterfly141989
FYL. Although it was perhaps a bit daft of you to choose somebody so far away: if you're going to date online, make it somebody nearby, or somebody in a place you'll visit anyway. That way, if you get tricked, no harm done.
#113 - On 06/15/2009 at 3:02pm by godyourethick
Did Seth tell you that if you say bananas really fast it sounds like gullible too?
#119 - On 06/15/2009 at 3:22pm by FreddyLunch
YDI first of all ure really stupid for dating online and buying a plane ticket and second this sounds like something a pedifile would say...
#121 - On 06/15/2009 at 3:28pm by equastriangirl
haha do you know seth?... if that is his real name...!
but that does suck! sorry:(
#122 - On 06/15/2009 at 3:30pm by tbbays04
and you are aware that 18 is the age of consent in Cali? you saved yourself from jail time
#123 - On 06/15/2009 at 3:32pm by ChefBoy6382
why do you people never learn? i hate coming on here and reading FML's about someone's "online girlfriend". you need to get off the computer and go meet someone in the real world.
i mean, buying a plane ticket to meet some stranger you've never even talked to on the phone or seen a real picture of (the rule is to ask them to hold up an item or sign to prove they're not fake, as i recall from my days on lj when i was 13)? you really deserved this.
You know what? Fuck all you people who are shitting on online dating.
I met my wife through the Internet. Not an "online dating site" mind you but still.
We have been happily married a year as of Sunday, and I wouldn't do with anyone else.
FYL indeed.
She called to say that she is "Seth." That's nice of her. Him. It.
#129 - On 06/15/2009 at 4:12pm by RodeHard
That's why you don't fucking meet people on the goddamn internet,so you deserve it,you motherfucking prick
#130 - On 06/15/2009 at 4:13pm by FreakOnaLeash
Seth is my hero, too!
YDI this so very hard. Unless you're a seventeen-year-old yourself, you are officially a pedophile. And if you are seventeen, how the hell did you manage to buy your own plane ticket without a credit card? You're obviously of age, and therefore a criminal for that alone. Secondly, how many stories do you have to hear about people meeting up with people they met online, only to find out they were older, younger, the wrong gender, not the way their pictures looked, etc., before you figure out that it's a stupid thing to do? Furthermore, if you're actually going to meet someone in person, don't you think it might have been wiser to speak on the phone maybe a few times before buying a PLANE TICKET?? You are such an idiot! An idiotic pedophile. Stay off my internet, you sick freak!!!
You failed the minute you said pedophile. Please don't procreate.
Oh and look up the meaning of the word pedophile and then smack yourself, kthx.
#219 - On 06/17/2009 at 4:15am by star_ver
yeah, what star_ver said. except when you smack yourself, do that with the dictionary. maybe you'll learn a few things.
#243 - On 06/25/2009 at 9:34am by _THE_MASTER_
No shit sherlock. Why would you even buy a plane ticket without being at least 90% positive you knew what you were getting yourself into.
#135 - On 06/15/2009 at 4:26pm by gingermonster16
17? And u're dissappointed she's 19? Sick bastard. Have you ever seen Hard Candy with Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page (the chick from Juno)? It's about people like you.
#136 - On 06/15/2009 at 4:26pm by ImaBmyLonurTees
I'm pretty sure he's disappointed that it's a BOY, not about the age. Please die.
#220 - On 06/17/2009 at 4:17am by star_ver
are you an idiot? im pretty sure that he wasn't dissappointed that Courtney was 19 instead of 17. i would say, however, that he was very dissappointed that 'Courtney' ended up having a cock. and a guy's name.
#232 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:51am by _THE_MASTER_
you could have sex with him anyway : D
135. I turn Courtney was a 19 year old guy named Seth : P
#137 - On 06/15/2009 at 4:31pm by LesYeuxDeDario
ypu are such an IDIOT!!!! god that's such a stupid thing to do!!!!!!!!!
#138 - On 06/15/2009 at 4:34pm by sophie1070
1. You don't meet anyone under 18, and ask for proof first. Going to meet a 17 year old is stupid.
2. You don't meet anyone you haven't spoken with on the phone for at least a few weeks. Email and texting isn't enough. Even if you talk with someone on the phone, there's no guarantee that it's the person you think it is.
3. You don't fly to meet anyone unless you have hotel arrangements made, a refundable ticket, and people in your life have all the details of the person, including name, physical address, phone number, and a picture. You never know if the person is going to be the next internet killer.
That being said, I have met people from online and the worst thing that happened was they turned out to be jerks. If you take your time and talk on the phone for months, in addition to email/texting, you learn more about the person - but of course, not as much as spending a lot of actual, face to face, time with them.
LOL!!! thats wat u get
seriously, a dating website??? how much stupider can u get???
u never no wat kind of creepers or fakes r out there
#141 - On 06/15/2009 at 4:50pm by jessxoxo28
You're stupid, he's not a pedophile for liking a 17 year-old, and how do you know he's not also 17-19?
I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 to use a dating website, so you deserved it.
#146 - On 06/15/2009 at 5:06pm by gregthestrange
wow, you fail at life on so many levels, and that is awesome, good for Seth for making a pervert feel like the dumb ass he is.
#147 - On 06/15/2009 at 5:09pm by primogen18
Anyone calling this guy a pedophile is a fucking idiot. 17 is not a prepubescent child, and that's what pedophiles are attracted to. By 17 most males and females are physically developed enough to look like adults. There is no physical difference between 17 and 18, or even sometimes 20+ for that matter.
Secondly, why does everyone assume that he must be an older guy? What if the OP is about 18-19 himself? He was disappointed about the guy's gender, not his age.
Another thing, the age of consent in most states and countries worldwide is around 16(which makes the Dateline comments irrelevant.) So if you think finding a 16-17 attractive is pedophilia, then you're gonna be sad to know that it's totally legal in most places.
OP- You deserve it for wasting money on someone you didn't even see or hear. I have nothing against online dating if you actually get to know the person. You apparently didn't, which makes you stupid and undeserving of any sympathy.
I've no idea how many times I've said this, but what the FUCK is wrong with you people?! Anyone with an ounce of common sense would sk for photos, webcam, etc before even thinking of meeting up with someone.
YDI for 1.) Flying out to visit a 17 year old 2.) Not asking for pics first 3.) Flying to a different state before even speaking to the "girl" on the phone. Moron.
#152 - On 06/15/2009 at 6:10pm by Soitgoes74
YDI. and yet after so many fmls similar to this people still online date.
#153 - On 06/15/2009 at 6:23pm by drumgirloh4
You life is not "fucked". It's not like plane ticketsare totally unaffordable, unless you're broke, in which case you should NOT have bought a ticket to see a random "girl" you met online. Sorry, (well, actually i'm not sorry) but YDI!
#154 - On 06/15/2009 at 6:41pm by xo_emily_xo
YDI. Dude, everyone knows that their are no girls on the internet

gosh i really hope you are not some 40 year old man. if so, fuck you for trying to get with a 17 year old... you filthy mcnasty
...and this is why you don't do things like this. Sorry -_-
#159 - On 06/15/2009 at 7:26pm by bullgetsmatador
Gonna call shenanigans... I can't think of any "dating" websites that allow anyone under 18 to participate. Not even OkCupid.,
Dude, you got owned. I know Seth too. Oh did we have a laugh at your expense.
#161 - On 06/15/2009 at 7:35pm by Jiraiya_chama
@OP:
DON'T WASTE YOUR TICKET!!!! #25 seems interested... Although this time, get her number and hear her voice first. :)
#163 - On 06/15/2009 at 7:48pm by anonnie
Eh. The whole dating online thing CAN work. But, just a small tip, NEVER fall for the Courtney. They're never real lol. That's like one of the most common names people use. That, and nicole. Try something where you can actually get to see the person. Before you meet, you should try webcam, or even just myspace. If they don't agree to it, break it off.
WAY TO BE JUDGEMENTAL EVERYONE!?? I understand it happens a lot. but the OP shouldve called to hear this persons voice from before. definitely voted for YDI. how gullible would you have to be to believe that though?
BUT --- not all people on the Internet are fake. I met my best friend online. we hung out twice (were both girls, completely straight though.. haha. ) shouldn't be any different with dating. seriously. when you meet someone online, don't be an idiot. it's not that hard.
proof picture, talk to parents, phone, facebook(it's hard to make a fake FB). etc....
... you probably should have called her BEFORE deciding to meet her for the first time.

And also, I agree with #127-- I met my husband via online dating as well. There's nothing wrong with it. Some people are just dumber than others when it comes to... well, common sense.

I would just like to point out that the age of consent in most states is 16 or 17, however California's is 18.
And how old are you?
Total YDI. Loser.
Also, age of consent varies from state to state (in Pennsylvania it's 16), but that doesn't make this any less creepy.
#172 - On 06/15/2009 at 9:36pm by fakkumairaifu
ahahahahaha YDI. why would you FLY out to meet someone you met on the INTERNET?

#32,
Could you be any lamer, you stupid hypocrit.
But yeah... YDI for being so ready to jump on a plane based on nothing more than internet chat and that she was a 17 year old girl.
So big question, how old is the OP anyways?
#174 - On 06/15/2009 at 9:44pm by TuxedoBento
YDI you pedo. Damn, I mean if I ever found out who you were in real life and got a hold of those records I'd have the police breathing down your neck so fast you wouldn't know what hit you you monster.
#176 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:07pm by SVelasquez
maybe you should meet girls like normal people do! might help...then you can actually know what they look like to make sure there not a boy! YDI all the way.
#179 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:25pm by akfml
Why would he call you long distance when he can just tell you online?
And why the strange need to tell us their ages when there was only a two year discrepancy? I mean, he tells you he's a guy and you were actually concerned that he was the whole two years older?
This is obviously a fake.
wow im pretty sure you could have found a 17 year old courtney in CA so ydi for not searching
#183 - On 06/15/2009 at 11:10pm by isolate7690
Why would you buy a plane ticket to somewhere to see someone you haven't even talked to on the phone? Wow definitely YDI
#185 - On 06/15/2009 at 11:37pm by HeyitsPheddy
#68 you are FUUUCKKING IDIOT. A 17 year old girl is not an adult or a "woman" she's still a child. Wowwww. And yeah why wouldn't you have talked to her on the phone if you were flying all the way to see her? YDI more than anyone has ever deserved it.
19 year old Seth is my hero for the next 5 minutes. I may have to try that out one day. Put the pedos in their place. ):D
did you webcam ever? she's a minor! well. she was suppose to be a minor.
ydi.
#192 - On 06/16/2009 at 1:02am by myfishisBOBA
YDI, dating online is not smart. sorry but it just leads to trouble, and FMLs
#194 - On 06/16/2009 at 1:14am by triplethreat13
whudafxup- You're the idiot here, 17 isn't a child in any sense besides legal. Otherwise the age of consent in most places wouldn't be under 17. I bet you're one of those people who thinks at 17 you're a helpless child but at 18 you're suddenly a mature adult. Of course, the law has to set an arbitrary number to be the legal adulthood, it doesn't mean that people are physically and mentally adults once they reach it.
People are fucking hypocrites, end of. I guarantee 100% if "Courtney" were 18, no one would give a shit.
ur fucking dumb first
why would you trust ppl on those sites
and then idk why it would occur to you that it would
be a good idea too go to a different country to go meet a stranger
you found off the web
ppl like you are the reasons why ppl get killed from ppl off the internet
goood luck in life moron
you're pathetic seriously 17 year old girl on a dating site? isn't that kinda illegal in the first place... freak!!!!
#197 - On 06/16/2009 at 2:11am by daonlytdoc
Why would you even fly anywhere for someone you've never met before? YDI
#198 - On 06/16/2009 at 2:14am by orangeyellowred
In the United States, age of consent is governed by state law. In California, age of consent is 18. However, sex with minors over sixteen and less than three years younger than the older person is legal - this is called a closeness of age clause. So, assuming the OP is sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, or twenty, having sex with 'Courtney' would have been legal.
The OP is certainly not a pedophile. By the time the vast majority of women have reached seventeen, they are completely sexually developed. Pedophiles are attracted to children who have not yet begun puberty, not seventeen year old girls.

at least glendale has the americana and the galleria.. and if ur into armenians, thats the place to be if ur looking.
Wow you jumped the gun for a girl you met online and never talked to?
Uhhhhh
And she's so far, you need a plane ticket just to see her?
Errrrrrr
Good job, buddy.
#203 - On 06/16/2009 at 4:55am by Panicattackx5
wow 136...you're stupid. the fact that 'courtney' turned out to be 19 wasn't the dissappointment. the fact that 'courtney' turned out to have a cock was, in fact, the dissappointment. and, again people, think before you speak. 17=age of consent. and, again, how the hell do u even know hoe old the OP is? if he is 18 or 19, that is in no way pedophilia. or if he's 17. all u morons get onto one wagon, and latch on to one phrase, and you have no idea if you're accurate or not. enjoy being stupid!!! I'll enjoy subjugating all of you in the near future when I conquer the planet!!!
#205 - On 06/16/2009 at 10:50am by The_Master
either you're young enough that 17 is acceptable, in which case you're probably in high school and shouldn't be flying to meet an online date, but should be involved in relationships with people you know, and probably should have some parental guidance on how unbelievably awkward it is that someone so young fly to meet an internet date.... or you're older and you might have a reason for using internet to help you meet people, such as crazy work hours and kids etc. making it difficult to meet people, in which case it's totally unacceptable to be flying to meet a 17yo.
perhaps a webcam is cheaper than a plane ticket?
#204 are you retarded? 18 is the legal consent not 17, with that logic why don't people let 17 year olds smoke and vote?
#208 - On 06/16/2009 at 1:22pm by Antonio718
exactly how stupid are you? would you say that you just lack common sense or are you a full blown short-bus riding window-licker? 18 is the age at which you are considered an adult. 17 (or 16 in some states) is considered the 'legal age of consent' u r a complete moron. please do not breed, as this would only continue to hold back the human race.
#231 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:35am by _THE_MASTER_
#20 what #5 meant, was that he had also tricked the guy online. Seriously, that was stupid. Don't always trust the internet, especially not on social sites. Of course, that Seth guy must also have problems if he pretends to be a 17 yr old girl on a dating site.
208, ANTONIO GO READ A BLOODY LAW BOOK. The age of consent in some states is 16 for hetero sex and 18 for homo sex.
All you IDIOTS calling the guy a paedophile, try picking up a basic US law book AND A DICTIONARY.
Your stupidity is astounding!

As said, at least it wasn't Chris Hansen, you pedo-bear you.
Sure, people, 17 might be age of consent in some places, but if he has the money to be flying around meeting '17 year old girls', I presume this guy is 30-40 years old. Most young people don't use dating services.
#215 - On 06/17/2009 at 2:27am by ttech10
@OP: YDI for not making sure she was a she before getting a plane ticket to meet "her."
#223 - On 06/17/2009 at 4:32am by star_ver
Online dating....risky and unstable business. Aren't you able to return plane tickets?
#226 - On 06/17/2009 at 2:17pm by Judgejobrown
I had a 21 year old friend who got "engaged" to a 17 year old he met on the internet and never saw her in real life. He's currently serving a 10 year prison sentence for possession of baby porn
how did you not see this coming? you are a retard. plus, karma was totally waiting to fuck your anus for trying to seduce an underage chick. wow. totally deserved that.
