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.
Same thing different taste
The truth
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
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
Deception
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
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
Cougartown
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
Online life
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
Cougar
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
Doubling down
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?

How could you fall in love with someone you had never REALLY seen and talked to before? I just don't get the concept of online dating, I guess.

Well at least he's really mature for his age. Haha. As some people say, age shouldn't matter in some cases. I'd go for a younger girl that was really mature for her age if I wouldn't be considered a pedo for it.

@82, when the ages are 18 and 13, 'pedo' is kinda structural at that point. If your profile is accurate, and you are 16, then your situation is a little different, and age differences slowly begin mattering less and less as you get older. But never make the mistake of believing that age is just a number.

How do you not tell a 13 year old's mindset from someone more your age though
