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

There's nothing wrong with meeting people online and starting a relationship with them. Not everyone wants to date the kind of girl you'd be likely to find at a bar. The problem is you can't be "dating" someone you've never even actually spoken to or even seen. That's why God invented microphones and webcams.

nothing wrong with finding someone online. js do it properly -_-. okay, OP. im going to giive you the benefit of the doubt & think that your pubsescent little boyfriend actually did give you pictures of a good looking woman that they impostered... & maybe becus he's young & his voice is questionable on the phone... BUT CMON NOW. A ******* YEAR? & YOU NEVER THOUGHT TO SEE EACHOTHER? can i js know how you found out? did you happen to finally go see him & see that he ws, in fact, a child? in any case, you're in some deep shit if that little kid tells anyone about your dating escapades. see you on megan's list. this is an fml & a ydi.

#72: So now the bible even claims god invented electricity? We're ****** guys...

CRINGE :| u shud go out a bit mre! Instead of 'dating' 14 year old boys 'online'.

I can't wait for Blizzard to track down your conversations over WoW (I'm assuming this is where they met) and look at your cyborz to him and you get arrested for soliciting a minor. That would be EPIC WIN!

#65, I was kidding re the shame... I think people are a lot more accepting of it, than say 10 years ago, particularly in New York, where I live. I certainly think it is better than passively waiting for the right person to land in your lap. But you have to meet them reasonably soon. Imagine spending a year online dating to find that maybe the person wasn't a 14 year boy, but that you just weren't physically attracted to them when you met them in person.

That's why I always ask for webcam.

Sorry - "dating online" is not dating at all. 1-year.........you need to get outside sometime and try face-to-face, or just stick with ****!

No, you were FLIRTING online for over a year.
