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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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?

Way too many scammers online to share too much with people you can't see or speak with. I'm sorry you had that experience; just be glad it was actually a guy and not a woman pretending to be a guy, like some people have experienced.

Still lied about who he was. I see no difference between the two

Why wasn't proof of ages something that had been established before now? Heck when I meet people on here the first thing we do is send pics on snapchat to prove how old we are so I'm not talking to a child or creeper.

Because people can't fake pictures too? Personally I think it's more weird/dangerous to add strangers on apps like Snapchat. I'd talk to someone for a while before I did that. It's not like age is that important as long as you're not sharing explicit things or important personal information, which I probably wouldn't do anyway, and most average people can be trusted.

That sucks, but it's good you found out sooner rather that later. You could still talk to him?

To ask him to eat his veggies?

I hope you realize now that the answer to a/s/l is almost always a lie.

Pshh, I always answered truthfully. I really am an 820 year old androgynous person that lives in a hut on the dark side of the moon!

Build a casual friendship and see how he grows. in the end when he's 20 you'll be 25. Some people don't change much, you know. Besides I'm 26 and my wife is 34. couldn't be happier.

Build a casual friendship for 5 years? After he lied about his age? No.
