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

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

Which means he's a married 48 year old man from New Jersey - or some dude you know from work.

You fault all the way. Never ******* ever believe what someone tells you online. Never ******* ever fall in love with someone online. Always meet them before developing any feelings for them. Period.

It's possible to fall in love on line, I'll say this. It's happened to me and now I've been in an incredibly awesome relationship for almost 3 years, 2 of those years I've lived with the man and my life has never been better. HOWEVER. 4 years, and you weren't tipped off somehow? Never meeting for 4 years, no phone calls or webcam conversations or even a microphone conversation. The lack of confirmable pictures didn't tip you off? What are you, 12? Any smart person would realize something was wrong, and while I can sympathize with your heartbreak you should have known so YDI. Also, #253, if you're really that girl, screw you for being so heartless.

if you're truly in love, why does it matter if it's with a girl? i mean, don't do anything illegal - if there's an age difference then wait until she's 18 - but love is love. i really don't think gender should matter.
