ONTD

I am far too paranoid to do online dating anymore

My worst experience was when I had met someone I actually liked but they did not want to talk to me on the phone or meet in real life. He just wanted to text. I thought that was far too fishy.

Not to mention I can read creepy on someone right away when I meet them in person. Online it's sometimes a lot harder just judging from a profile pic that may not even be accurate anymore

sort of had something like this happen but offline..

had a friend in hs.. she was sort of friends with a lot of guys caz she was in to sports. so anyways.. so one day she started telling me she was dating a certain guy on the football team. how he lived by her and such an such. i talked to the both of them online on aim. that lasted prob like a week or two. then i was talking to someone in my seminar about them and they ended up telling me they weren't dating. i confronted the friend about it and she got all mad. a day or two later she apologized.

flashfoward to later in the year.. i had a certain teacher for a class of mine and he was the varsity football coach. i enjoyed his class. first time i ever got an A in math. well anyways.. so the year after i had this certain teacher, this same "friend" said she had him. i would walk with her to class and then leave just before the bell rang. one day i was talking to another friend of mine and he said he had that same teacher the same period. the only problem was that he was in calc and this "friend" was not smart enough to be in calc. so i ended up walking with her to class and dropping her off like normal. i went around the corner and waited and here she came strolling out and around the corner. i mean WTF who would lie about something so stupid like that? i wonder how many tardies she must have had. and all while this was going on before i found out she said that she used to see this teacher outside of school bc a coworker of hers was dating them and she used to hang out with them. (yeah come on now.. like i believe that) it also makes things she did really creepy like bringing gifts for said teacher caz he was the football coach. and idk.. now i look back and think man was i gullible back in hs. plus other friends have since told me that she seemed sort of possessive over me and i wonder if like she was jealous of me. but yeah.. that was my brief time with an uncontrollable liar. i'm really embarrassed bout it nowadays that i feel for all that back when i was younger.

If you're stupid enough to fall for people who won't go on cam with you within a couple of weeks, that's your fault.

It's 2012, everyone has a cam/camera. If you don't, they're like 10 bucks at Best Buy.

E-dated someone for a year on myspace, talked on the phone everyday- and made multiple plans to visit each other. I even drove 5 hours one time to visit him at his apartment but when I got there the place was empty. We "broke up" out of my frustration over never being able to meet and a 6 months later found out he had stolen all his pictures, and his friends were all fake too.
You believe a lot when you're lonely and young (and gay in a small town)
I confronted his AIM a couple years later about it and he showed me new pictures that werent bad at all but who knows if those were real either.

I've never told anyone this, but I spoke to a guy online when I was 11 and he lied about his age. Anyway I spoke to him again as a 15 year old and found out he was 24. I can't do math, but he was definitely a pedo and like ugh he was probably grooming me. It makes me sick to even think about it. I feel so stupid. :( And I'm so scared he'll find me online or irl because I was stupid enough to tell him the town I lived in. I hate myself sfm.

I find this Nev guy so hot

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who faked an identity at a young age.

God. I was so bored. Sf embarassing LOL. -_- I'm afraid things like this will catch up to me which is why I'm more private now lol.

Ps. Nev is so hot. I wish he was gay~

Lol no

It's a fierce drag queen named Raven

i've been online friends with this girl for over 10 years and in a few weeks we will meet.

and yes i know she is real and not fake. we've vid chat, exchanged gifts and sent pictures over our cells.

I know of two crazy ass stories. One where the person actually got involved in some psychotic 'love triangle' where it was the same person pretending to be two people AND a fake pregnancy to boot! And the other is one where the girl has been in love with some guy for 5+ years and she's traveled across the country to visit him 4x and he bails each time.

He always had an excuse and she bought into it. I mean, she did see him on skype, so she knew he physically existed and looked the way he did.

LOL Did he use google earth street view to get some shop names?

my high school ex put my cell number on 4chan and this one guy from texas called. he sounded like a typical college-aged dude but claimed he was younger than me. we ended up talking like once a week for well over a year. we had phone sex a bunch of times and it was awesome. never saw what he looked like but he had a nice voice. awkward

In eighth grade, this girl in my class made up a fake myspace account to fuck around with me. She pretended to be guy and pm tried to make me ~fall for him. I stopped messaging back when I looked shit up and realized this guy didn't go to the high school nearby. It wasn't until years later when that girl contacted me to confess and apologize for what she did, that I knew what was up. It wasn't too upsetting, but in retrospect, it's still humiliating when I think about how all the girls at school knew about it.

Ah, that's terrible. I'm sorry that happened, bb. I immediately thought of this:

this one girl was in this private comm with me and some of my friends and the entire time no one really liked her but we never really bothered to kick her out

she was always really sketchy cause nothing she said ever made sense and there were a lot of gaps in what she shared about her and this one time she posted a picture of herself and months (idek maybe a year later) drama happened and one of my friends photobucket searched hooters brunette girl or st and found the picture that she used and it was so amazing but creepy cause this girl had seen so much of our personal stuff and she was lying the entire time to us

the entire time she was pretending she was this girl about to enter columbia university and all this and she made a bunch of new lj identities but we always found them and we found her real tumblr recently and it turns out she was this 14 year old
lmao

♥ my hero ♥

god i've been on a fucking million dates from the internet and no one has ever been deceitful about who they were, maybe because i am pretty practiced at detecting internet lies? the usual problem is that they're just boring or slightly more ugly IRL than they were on the internet. or it just doesn't work.

i used to make friends in guilds on neopets. i'm still facebook friends with 3 girls i was friends with in a harry potter guild when i was 14. i know they're really who they say they are but i'm the one who told them a fake first name lol. i also used to pretend i was bulgarian on neopets when i was like 11. idek why
this summer i went to disneyland with one of my online friends. she turned out to be a huge weirdo and tried to feed pigeons sasstronaut :)

well now you need to elaborate

i met my boyfriend online. we've been together 3+ years.....but we skyped almost every day before meeting. I can't believe people don't do that first.

there really wasn't any difference tbh. there was no awkwardness or anything. i actually flew across the country to meet him (crazy, i know) and everything worked out great. i had met one of his friends before hand when he was visiting family near where i lived so i think that helped too.
