Today, I went out to a restaurant to meet a girl that I met online. When I arrived, I texted her and she said she was wearing a blue shirt. The only person that was wearing anything blue was a fat man smiling in the corner. FML

Today, I went on a first date with a guy I met online. I arrived early and waited for him for over an hour. When he finally showed up, he was wearing the exact same outfit as me. FML
Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. We had agreed on meeting in front of a park. Thinking I was there first, I texted her "I'm already there, sitting next to the fat chick." I heard a beep. SHE was the "fat chick." FML
Today, I had a date with someone I met online. We agreed to meet at a nice restaurant. I got there early, ordered a drink, and waited. And waited. An hour later, I texted to ask where he was. His response? "I’ve been watching you from my car for the last hour. Decided you’re not my type." FML
Today, I met my online date at a café. As soon as I walked in, I walked straight up to the wrong person, and launched into a 2-minute ramble about how excited I was to finally meet him. He just blinked and said, “I’m married.” My actual date was sitting right behind me, albeit a similar but not as good looking man. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with some friends. I noticed a very cute waitress about my age, so I walked over to her and asked if she had a boyfriend. The extremely fit, attractive waiter standing next to her immediately turned, held out his hand and goes, "Yeah. Meet me." FML
Today, I was supposed to meet up with a girl I met on a dating app and had been chatting with. We exchanged the classic, "I'll be here and wearing this." At the location, a girl from a distance, wearing the described outfit, was checking me out. I immediately bailed out. Not only she is 9, she is also a student of mine. FML
Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML
Today, I was at work at Panera. A blind woman came in, ordered, and said other blind people were going to come in soon, because they were having a meeting. Later, a man came in and asked if any other blind people had showed up. I told him there was just one in here wearing a blue shirt. FML
Today, I flirted with the cashier at the local bagel joint. I complimented her unique blue hair and got her number. Later on that evening, she served my girlfriend and me our food at a different restaurant. FML

I assume it was the man, as he was smiling at OP. I'm interested as to how OP confronted him about it, though.

13, Video chatting no longer proves anything. There are so many ways to fake it now.
dhaworth93 8
really so you personally know how to fake or shop a live video feed online? that's pretty impressive please enlighten me and give me just one example that can be proven and shows that your not just spouting bullshit to everyone? can you? probably not

15, There are programs one can buy/download that do all the editing for you. They have an array of stock pictures or you can upload your own and all one has to do is have the program running while using the webcam and it swaps out your image for the one you picked. There's a rather popular image macro that uses a little boy on Omegle that came from one of these. Granted they're not the best and anyone who knows what to look for can tell, but to the average person they work like a charm. Other than that there's feed-swapping, actually dressing as the other sex and a multitude of things one can do irl to make themselves appear to be someone they're not over cam.

18- I don't know if its just me, but i can tell the difference between genders especially when one is dressing up/making themselves look like the opposite sex. Granted someone can go to great lengths to conceal their gender, but i believe that would be pretty rare. You could also look for distinct features between male/female, i.e. adam's apple, breasts, chin. Of course both genders may have both but one gender dominantly has one or the other or a smaller/larger version. As for the stock photos, i do believe he said video chat not only audio so that rules out that. As for swapping feed or using a gif/premade video that wouldn't work assuming you would be talking to the person that you are video chatting with, i.e. you would see their mouth move to the words they are saying. Also, typically gifs/premade feeds like those you mentioned have a shorter time frame and start to repeat actions, which is pretty easy to spot ad well. Of course there are exceptions to everything, but in most cases you will be able to distinguish between a live person and a recorded feed or between real and faked genders. Please know that lm not trying to be an asshole by any means, I'm simply enlightening others.

111, It is very easy to be a convincing fake, gender wise. Take it from a girl who doesn't have any, boobs are super easy to fake and as for an adams apple that can be done as well with a bit of bronzer or stage makeup for those dedicated enough. It's really not as rare as one would think. The program I was thinking of with the stock images is a video editing program. What it does it takes the image you choose and match it whatever you are doing. So say I'm on Skype and am using the one of the little boy I mentioned when I raise my right hand, what the program does is edit my image out and the little boy's image in so what the person I'm speaking with sees is the little boy raise his right hand. If you don't have remarkable connection it does lag and it tends to be a touch blurry so it is easily seen but most just assume its a bad connection or something on the webcam. It's nice that you're not trying to be an asshole especially since I sort of was, but you're enlightening others incorrectly, my friend.

Damnit!! I would've sworn she was real!!

Who says the girl wasn't just playing a joke on him and seeing how he'd take it?
AKGirlinSD 20
That's a really shitty joke to play on someone before their first date. If I was OP, I wouldn't give her a second chance. It was a waste of OP's time and emotions (I'm assuming emotions were involved seeing as he asked this girl on a date).

44- having a sense of humour is bad now?

"....MTV...". No need to explain any further. This is the same network that looked for pregnant teens to audition for a show.
SuperDanielNL 23
Watched it twice, it struck me how blantantly stupid those poor-decieved sods were.
AKGirlinSD 20
Thank you, #4! That was my first thought: Catfish! Sadly, many people go thru life portraying someone they are not, online. They usually don't have a care in the world how it will affect the person(s) on the opposite end.
caitlinrawrr 9
The move was better. In case you didn't know, Catfish was originally a movie.

No joke, my stepdad's related to that woman who inspired it. by marriage, not blood. Him and my mom are actually going to her daughter's wedding this weekend. The one the woman pretended to be.

OM(e) G(l)(e), you must have felt like a bum there..!

Ever heard of omegle, son?

My brain hurts from trying to decipher that shit
SuperDanielNL 23
Even then, it's not a very insightfull nor creative comment.

#23 - you're too young to be calling people "son"
jessherself13 21
Despite how your comment was worded, how would that make OP feel like a bum? More like embarrassed that they believed a fake profile.

there's always a risk with online dating, better luck next time!
Dracoboxer357 35
Assume you got pranked, shrug it off, and go home, Op. Best to forget it happened at all. :p

Smile back and walk out of the restaurant! You should be mentally prepared though that who you meet online may not be who they claims!
MaddieGurl 11
This is why you always have to be careful meeting someone online.

Should have turned the joke back on him by walking up to him and saying, "My goodness. You're.far more beautiful than I had dared to hope." His reaction so would have been worth the disappointment he imposed.

I'd stay if the “girl" would pay this time
