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
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?

that's why you should never do online dating did you try to video chat?

So? My mom is 9 years younger than my dad

I'm pretty sure the FML is more about the fact that he lied, he's underage, and she would be arrested for pedophilia if she tried to get with him. Not the relatively small age difference.

So? Really? Pedophilia is illegal.

Presumably they didn't start dating when one was 9 and the other 18. My parents also have a big age gap, but didn't meet until my mom was 19/20.

Just be friends for now. In a few years it won't be such a big deal if you still like him.

Something close like that happened to me except I'm the thirteen year old (actually 14), the girl was 17, and we both knew each other's ages while talking. We still talk to each other but she has said she liked many times and even broke up with her boyfriend because she thought I was mad that she was dating people. I really wasn't, and even told her to get back together with him, but she said that I was more important to her than him and it's been like that.

Age is just a number, jk but that's really unfortunate you should try and find a way to verify someone's age before next time? Or maybe look for people around where you live.
