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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that the girl I've been dating online for over three months is actually a very bored 14-year-old boy. 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, after I met a guy online and we'd became fast friends, talking every day about everything, things got flirty after half a year of talking. A year in, I finally got the time to meet up with him. It turns out he lied about his age. He's 8 years younger and in college. I fell head over heels. Help. FML
Today, I was finally going to break down my social barrier by going out on a date with a nice guy I recently met on a dating site. Just at the start of the date, he asked me how old I was, and out of pure nervousness, I blurted out, "12!" I'm 24. 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 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, it's been a year since I met a guy online. We clicked almost immediately. Eventually we started dating, after proving who we are through many sources. Turns out he lied about his age after he conspired to make sure I was 100% in love with him before telling me the truth. He's legal but the age gap is uncomfortable. FML
Today, I was online dating and a girl from high school messaged me. Thinking she might have matured since we're now in our 40's, I messaged back. She then said it was a joke and that I'm still a desperate, pathetic nerd trying to score with the hottest girl in class. FML
Today, I finally got the chance to meet this wonderful guy I met on a dating site. She was very excited to see me, too. FML
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

Was she looking for a date or a daddy?

That girl is very lucky you weren't a pedophile. Shame on her for acting older than she was and meeting you, something terrible could have happened to her.

Am I the only one here that noticed that there is a SIGNIFICANT personality difference between a 13 and 3o year old? How OP missed that is beyond me, but maybe that just says something about his taste in women..

Sorry, but that's wrong. I know plenty of people in their 30s who most people would swear are in their teens. Same thing with children. Some children grow up differently and mature much earlier than others. As such, some of them wi sound like they are much older than they actually are, which is probably the case in this situation since OP wasn't happy he met a 13 yr old. FYL OP. I wish she was as old as you thought an things went right for you. Good luck.

Age is but a number. Until you go to court. Then it's just rape.

15 will get you 20 (years in jail, that is).

Is Claire Quilty somehow involved in this mess?

Lurking in the background somewhere, no doubt. Probably disguised as Chris Hansen's cameraman.

It sounds like the movie Hard Candy.

It must suck that you are physically 34 while you are emotionally 13. By my calculations, when you become an adult emotionally, your body with throw in an enlarged prostate and erectile dysfunction. You get a draft card and a prescription for Viagra on the same day!

The logical thing to do would be to inform her parents that she's doing this, but be careful. A friend of mine was in a similar situation and the girl's parents reacted by bringing him up on statutory rape charges and wanting him labeled a child predator. Good luck, buddy.

I say talk to a lawyer first. Going to her parents first might be a mistake.

You should have called her parents u could save her life. At least report her to the police before she falls prey to a pedofile
