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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was talking to a guy I met online and have known for four years. I've fallen in love with him twice, one of those times being currently. He was supposed to visit this summer. I got an email from him saying he's really a 17 year-old girl from Chesterfield, MO. FML
Today, I found out that the 19-year-old I've been seeing is really 26, with two kids and a pregnant fiancée. I'm only 17. FML
Today, I went out to meet a wonderful woman I'd chatted with online. I did have a few fears about if she was really just some guy trying to make a fool out of me. When I met her, she really was a girl, and was happy to see me. Problem: she was actually 13. I'm 34. FML
Today, I went on a 70-mile drive to the next town over to finally meet this beautiful girl I had talked to online. To my surprise, she looked exactly how she did in her pictures, minus the ring on her finger and the fiancé who wanted to punch me in the face. FML
Today, the boy that I met online six months ago and expressed my love to sent me a picture of himself and confessed how old he really was: thirteen. I'm eighteen years old and holding a steady job. FML
Today, I flew to California to visit my younger sister at college. When I got to her house, her boyfriend looks at her and says, "She's not THAT ugly." FML
Today, I met and asked a cute girl out on a date. We decided to meet at a fancy restaurant downtown. When I got there I saw her sitting with what turned out to be her parents. They made a huge scene, calling me a pedophile and a low-life. Apparently, the girl was 16 years-old. I'm 25. FML
Today, I found out the 28-year-old I am dating is actually 48. FML
Today, completely excited, I told my mom about this guy from high school that I had really liked and who had found me on Facebook. He said he regretted not asking me out in high school and offered to fly me out to visit him. Her response? "Has he seen what you look like now?" FML
Today, I thought my online boyfriend was calling me, so the first line I said was "Hey, Baby." His wife answered with, "This is Jenny. Who's this?" After speaking for thirty minutes, I found out he's married, fifty-eight, and has two kids. I'm seventeen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Haven't you read enough FMLs to know that you shouldn't date online?

Why would you even fly anywhere for someone you've never met before? YDI

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.

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 **** 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!!!

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?
