Deception

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 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

Pleased to meet you

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 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

Stuck on Amber

Today, I went to a Stoplight Party. Green shirt = single, yellow = hard to get, and red = taken. I showed up wearing a red shirt and saw my boyfriend in a green shirt. Thinking it was a mistake, I asked him jokingly why he wasn't wearing red. He looked at me oddly and said, "Oh, you didn't get my text?" FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out to eat at a diner where my friend works. My friend was our waiter but too busy to talk much. He texted me after we'd left to tell me that my girlfriend had slipped him her number. FML

Today, I went out to eat. When I walked into the restaurant, a lady approached me and said she'd seat me soon. After a long wait, I saw that same lady leave. Then I realized she didn't actually work there and was just screwing with me. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I went on a date. I went to the bathroom. When I came back, she was sitting at a different table flirting with a guy that looked twice as old as her. FML

Is there maybe a chance you got the wrong restaurant? If not, I'd find the most obese woman with the most chins, and pay her to go in my place.

As discussed on the earlier comments, video chatting proves nothing these days because there are macros that can swap out your image in a live video feed.. So Skype doesn't mean it's legit

I just ask for a photo of outside and current time if you are in same area background can tell u if it is current and time shows you when they took it simple yea and if the take it and send it no time to edit

If they have a phone with photo apps they can add text to the picture to look like a timestamp, and it doesn't take long for someone to do that. The outside bit is smart, but not fool proof.

Does the fact that the "she" is actually a "he" really mean they are the same person? Not really.

The connection may not of been the same but if he was honest about what they talked about a friendship may come out of it. Just hopefully op didn't send any inappropriate pictures or he might get some funny looks Lolz

OP- Just to make my pain at your pain less, I'm going to imagine the guy who catfished you as Peter Griffin... See, that makes it MUCH better, doesn't it? At least for me it turns your encounter into a comic fantasy. For you, well, you need some eye-bleach and mind-erase or your online dating's going to be forever damaged....
