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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

TheOnlyMizLiv 22
Lookin' for a baby-daddy? Sorry OP, that's... pretty ****** actually.
lilhellian 27
Sadly I've heard of worse. And know someone that did it younger then that..
102Percent 5
What kind of a thirteen year old girl does that. Ew.
lilhellian 27
There is the famous jessi slaughter
nuggetmonster 12
She's lucky it was a good guy like you and not some perv. It could have ended badly for her.
Catkam623 27
That or it could have actually ended very badly for him if she called the cops.
Cashtangoteam 10
Chris Hansen would be all up in that shit.
sens3sfailing 25
I would be freaked the **** out that Chris Hansen would be there. But then again I think when they set up the traps they make sure the people online know they are trying to seduce a 13 year old to actually get real pedophiles and not guys like OP. but still I'd ******* make sure that she knew her being 13 only gets her taxi fare to go home from me.
zandalee 20
Oh God I agree totally! I would so tell her family what she's up to. This little missy needs to know how dangerous her little adventures could be!

Haha this comment made my day a lot better

This reminds mr of a movie..."hard candy"
rachelndrws180 4
She was the one who was lying!
t3chn0cr4t 6
At least she wasn't an FBI agent lol
laya_fml 26
You never know. I hear the fbi is starting them young now.
EsOSiQueEs 14
Even if she was, I'm assuming OP didn't know she was actually 13, but rather his age, so it would've been perfectly legal for two adults to meet. If OP knew she was 13, well we obviously wouldn't have this FML.

Why don't you go take a seat right over there.
FFPulley 9
Chris Hansen walked in behind her.
kearsleyz 10
Did chris hanson jump out?
nightowl713 25
Not quite sure how OP could go about it, but I personally, would have found a way to let her parents know what she has been up to. Next time she may not be so lucky...
FBI_Surveillance 3
Man that'd really suck if that happened.
bakunin 4
Take a seat.
tpm45 25
At least she picked you and not some rapist. Or are you?...
justcreepinggg 9
That's scary...
ttqq 7
Could've been a killer...
justcreepinggg 9
Killer or pedophile:/
Carli_M 8
That's awkward....

Hey age is only a number........... and a jail sentence.
X_Codes 11
Hey, a jail sentence is a number, too!
onlychildFTW 34
She's taking big chances. Jeez. It could end badly for her one day if she isn't careful. A
elephantsarecute 16
It may be FYL for you, but a paedophile would be happy to be in your place. Life is relative.
Proughboy 7
I don't know why you got thumbed down, that was freakin hilarious haha
TheOnlyMizLiv 22
Exactly! Age is just a number? ;P *I kid!*
mystashisgone 6
Just tell her maybe in 4-5 years look him up.
sens3sfailing 25
I don't know anyone willing to wait 4-5 years just to date a 13 year old they meet online... I'd try finding a person of age right now. And besides, 18 and 39, still creepy.
Sputnikspak 13
Doesn't fit remotely into the rule of seven. I could not date someone twice my age. Hell, I'm 26, and it weirds me out knowing my partner turns 30 next year (I also like to creep him out by reminding him that when he started college, I was in 9th grade - for some reason he finds it really creepy, even though three years is really not a big age difference and is actually not a big deal at all). Creepily, they used to marry girls off as soon as they got their period, usually to men who were at least twice their age. I know they still do that in some cultures - it's the 'sign of womanhood'. The mother of King Henry VII was married when she was twelve and gave birth to him at age thirteen. I guess I would've been lucky to be a late bloomer if I lived in those days (got my period just before my 15th birthday).

Ew? Lol. We're actually lucky there's some guy guys left out there he could have been a pedo for real o:
davek 36
At the risk of sounding really creepy here, as well as pedantic, hebephile might be a more correct term.
obnum 19
You could always just go the pedophile route ;) I fail to see the problem here.

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.

Ephobile
SillyGirl4602 23
I completely agree. So many young girls try to act much older. They don't realize how dangerous it can be to meet people they talked to online. She is very lucky op was not a pervert or a murderer. Her parents need to put up parental controls on her computer.
MarisaCB 16
Her parents don't need to set up parental controls. A 13 year old should already know not to do this, and if she doesn't she needs to be taught. Every kid can bypass parental controls. It wouldn't help.
pokemonchick14 12
I wouldn't say every kid could bypass parental controls. Depends on what you're doing.

This generation needs to stay away from the Internet.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
Why don't you follow your own advice, kiddo? FML is definitely not PG :P
rachel_potter 13
How do you know she's a kid? Her profile doesn't specify her age.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
The way she said "this generation" seemed like she was talking about her own to me, and her name and picture look pretty young, anything early 20s and younger would be put in the same generation I believe.. Anyway I was just kidding, I could be wrong.
rattusrattus 19
I'm 21. It is not inconceivable that a 13-year-old would be of my generation. Probably at the edges of it, but still.
lilhellian 27
89 If google is right then her generation started in '95..
stargirl_95 24
No, idiots need to stay away from the internet. Not everyone in this generation is stupid enough to do what this girl did.
Rainbow35 6
If the problem was with everyone in this generation, there'd be a huge amount more FMLs like this one.
kittykat1497 7
I'm really tired of the "this generation" comments. Shut the **** up, every generation has stupid people.
lilhellian 27
It's a trap!
His_Holiness 18
I might be going out on a limb here, but even if the girl lied about her age she probably would not have met up with Op if he was honest about his age.
rockstar362 8
Op seems pretty honest though to post this onFML. It was probably just a really really really lonely girl who was somewhat mature for her age
gc327072 31
We can't repel ***** of such magnitude!
luna89_fml 2
I think he was honest... She lied isn't that what he said? O:
obnum 19
Well, at least you're a nice person (I hope). If she met the wrong guy she could've been in a lot of trouble.

Woah watch out for Chris Hanson. Actually why dont ya just have a seat over there.
