Love: The truth

The truth

By oxbbabexo - 14/04/2009 13:45 - United States

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

Same thing different taste

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, 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

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 met a guy online. We talked all night long and hit it off amazingly. He told me he'd never felt that way about anyone else, and I agreed. He sent me a picture and he was gorgeous. I sent him one after he assured me he didn't care what I looked like. I haven't heard from him since. FML

Today, I met the guy I've been talking to online for two years in real life. He tried to convince me to have his children because they would be average height. He's a midget and I'm 6'2". This is the most romantic thing anybody has ever said to me. FML

Today, I got a text from the guy I've been in love with for 3 years, saying, "So um, I've been wondering. Did you used to be a man?" FML

Small world

By Ashy.Kinz - 08/07/2022 20:00 - United States

Today, while visiting family in my very small hometown for the summer, I met a guy and we really hit it off. Everything was going great, and I brought him home to meet my family, where my grandmother told me he was 16. Now I’m definitely not getting lucky this trip. 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

How can you fall in love with someone without ever having met them, seen them, or talked to them in person? These days you can't trust people online...well you never could, now we just (should) know better. YDI

Kids these days and their internet 'love' in my opinion you can't even say you fell in love, because you've never even ******* met the person... but hey, whatever floats your boat I guess

how did you not get a pic? or talk on the phone? anything over the 4 years you were in love with this guy? i believe in internet love, but be real. get pics and talk on the phone before you realize if 'he' is a 'he' at all. It's a crap situation to be in, but really should have gotten all your info.

She probably did get a photograph, a photograph that was stolen off google images or something. It's quite easy nowadays to fool people that way.

So the lesson here, video call regularly. it's possible to fake that shit a little bit but putt much impossible for any real amount of time

I'm not going to judge whether or not you're in love...that's pretty personal. In the future, you might consider meeting them in person or at least do a video chat.
