The truth

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

Depends how old you are

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 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

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog

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 learned that the guy I've had a crush on for almost 6 months at work is significantly younger than me. So young that I could have been his babysitter growing up. He's 21, I'm 34. 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

At least talk to each other via skype or something before telling him you love him. Afterall, catfishing is pretty common nowadays.

Well it sucks that you're a pedophile... but what's your steady employment got to do with it?

That's like middle school, what could he possibly be saying to make you loose your sense of reality at his age

I don't really have any sympathy. You know that Skype is a thing right? You pretty much let yourself be catfished.

If he cannot write higher than an eighth grade reading level, just leave. Worked for me.

You should "confess" your not really a girl and send him a picture of your dad and say your so glad that you don't have to hide anything from each other anymore?
