Today, I'm catfishing a guy on Twitter. I didn't mean to start it, I had an account I used to vent with, and I used a pic with a cute girl. He sent me a DM saying he liked my pic. He wanted to talk on the phone, and we have fallen for each other. He thinks I'm 18. I'm a 39 year-old single mother of 3 kids. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a cute new guy I always run into at work hit on me. Turns out he's only 18. I'm old enough to be his mom. 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
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 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
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
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, after months of talking to this guy on Instagram and convinced this was a sure thing, he wanted proof I was real and not catfishing him. I sent him a picture of me holding a paper with his username. He replied, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were a big girl. I need a healthy girl who takes care of herself.” 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 found out my husband has been catfishing my sixteen year-old brother for over a year. FML
Today, out of pure boredom, I created a Twitter account. Looking for pages to follow, I found out that my long-distance boyfriend is actually someone's husband. A month ago he posted a picture of himself and "The love of his life", wishing her a happy 30th birthday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP, you need to come clean. It isn't fair to string him along like this. You may love the attention and flattery but you and him are just going to get hurt. If you try a dating app and use your actual photo you may be pleasantly surprised. But break it off with him, it isn't fair on either of you to give your hearts to something not real. not to mention he may be blowing off opportunities and his future for a fantasy which is never going to happen. please take care OP, but break it off, he deserves the truth and he deserves better than to be catfished.

Even of you "didn't mean to start it", you continued and kept it going. Shame on you! And yes, you definitely need to come clean and apologize!

I’ve used a cg character from a game as a profile pic before to match the nickname. It was hard to tell it wasn’t a real pic. When people complimented me on it, I told them who it was. Problem solved before started. Though I’ll never get why people try to pick you up off of twitter based on a pic.

Differing from everyone else here, I say it'll break his heart and give him trust issues forever if you admit to catfishing him. Go for a different approach - tell him you're getting back with an old boyfriend or something and you have to end it with him, and sorry you can't meet but that he is a wonderful person and will find someone else etc. Then cut it off for good. Remember, you haven't fallen for him - it's the buzz of flattery & attention you like.

Only an asshole would do something like this. I hope he catches your lying ass and karma gets you where it hurts. Whatever you get for leading this person on, you deserve.

......as a 39 year old woman, why are you portraying an 18 year old? That’s completely ******, you’ve deceived this man every way imaginable. Shame on you.
