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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 that the 19-year-old I've been seeing is really 26, with two kids and a pregnant fiancée. I'm only 17. 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, 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 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, 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 found out that the guy I've been crushing on for months is actually 15 years old. I'm 22. Not only is it gross, but it's also illegal. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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?

Unfortunately, that can happen with online dating as people can use false pictures to trick you. Just be glad you found out now rather than in a few more months.

Did you even read the FML?

I read the FML and this comment makes perfect sense? OP fell for someone who lied about their info. Sucks but it happens. It may not have been specifically on an online dating site but that hardly matters nowadays, people forge friendships and relationships all over the internet. Fortunately they found out now rather than in a few more months. 6 months is obviously worse than a couple of weeks, but it's not as bad as being duped for 2 years, sending money, arranging marriage/flights/etc. What's the problem?

It attests to her maturity I suppose.

Am I the only one who had to read the FML twice?
cupcakebruh 21
Op could lose her job if anyone found out that she was talking to a 13 year old online, especially if she did anything sexual like saying certain things or sending pictures of herself.

#18. I don't know if that attests to her maturity, after all she's been talking to him for 6 months... He must have come off older to go that long..
Bobby319 24
She can't get in trouble, unless she continues the relationship, since he lied about his age( either by omission or full out lied). She thought he was an adult, and know that she knows he isn't she can only really get in trouble if she keeps going anyway

I can honestly say that this is the first time I've seen a published FML that signed off spelling the acronym FLM.

I don't know what post you're reading, but it definitely says FML, not FLM.

Or tell him to find that fortune teller machine from "Big" and you can live happily ever after...

But was he hot?
laden_swallow09 35
"Hot" does not exist at that age.

Guess you either wait 5 years or move on. That kid must have some serious street cred for having an 18 year old that confessed her love to him.
MrSassypants 34
Nothing else can give you major street cred than having someone fall in love with you on the Internet.
doodlecloud 27
Nah, it's pretty impressive. Boys tend to mature a bit later than girls as well. Either OP has some seriously juvenile intrests or that's a pretty damn mature and suave 13-year-old.
deathshead 19
glad im not the only one who had these sort of thoughts on the matter Slothman102, although personally its because I simply viewed it as 5 years is better than 5 decades. overall 5 year difference wont mean squat
PANDORUM89 21
it's means a whole lot to a judge. it means 20 years in prison for OP and street cred for the 13 yr old.
Michaelaarnett 22
It really is impressive isn't it? To find someone who is that mature at the age of 13, of course, he could be faking, but if he's not and he was a bit older, I bet OP would've wanted him as a boyfriend. I'd want a girl like that.

Haa, that boy has got real game. God knows I'd have loved to land an eighteen year old at thirteen.
trex454 21
id love to land an 18 year old at any age

Jared Fogle would love to land a 9 year old at 40.

Both teenagers.. So I guess it's OK..

An 18 year old is an adult

Pst I think it was sarcasm

Psst im not so sure it was

18 is actually still a number in the 'teens' and you can't even do somethings in the US until you're 21 anyways.

So you expressed your love to him when you haven't even seen a picture of him?
DoomedGemini 38
Pictures are easy to get and pretend you're them.

What 29 said, and love isn't all about looks. You can fall in love with their personality, but even a personality is easy to fake.

I guess it's puppy love.
