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

YDI for dating online, YDI for not getting proof off of this 'girl' that they are who they say they are. ALOT of weirdo men pretend to be little girls.

I told you this seemes familiar. I found the FML this resembles. Today, I was talking to a guy I met online and have known for 4 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.

i thought it was gonna say 14 year old girl which is bad enough, but when u said boy, i crapped on the spot funny as hell, not ur life

That's just sad on so many levels. Internet dating? Never meeting in person? A whole YEAR? Sorry kid, but YDI for thinking you can find anonymous love on teh intarwebz.

Um, wow. Over a year, without ever having met "her"? Or spoken to "her" on the phone? I wouldn't call that dating; you don't even know this person. Obviously! I would call that pretending.

You deserve this. you dated somebody you didnt know online for an entire year...Instead of writing on FML that this happened you should be going out and finding a real girlfriend..instead of moping over being a gay pedifile.

That's why you get pics of them first or a picture of them in dedication to you, with them holding a piece of paper with your name on it or doing something specific, so you know they're not a fake. Plus, you should meet them irl sometime, it can't be exclusively online forever.

and also, id like to date that 14 year old boy, because any teenage who knows enough about women to impersonate them for a year without fail, must be one heck of a guy, unless your just that desperate.

lol, dating online is alright. The fact that you were 'long distance dating' (a nicer way of saying online I guess) for a year and hadn't met once means you have some serious social issues to work out.
