Today, after buying the plane ticket to Glendale, CA to visit 17 year old Courtney who I met on a dating website, she called me for the first time to say that she was actually 19 year old Seth from Atlanta, GA. FML

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. 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, I went on a 70-mile drive to the next town over to finally meet this beautiful girl I had talked to online. To my surprise, she looked exactly how she did in her pictures, minus the ring on her finger and the fiancé who wanted to punch me in the face. FML

Today, I met and asked a cute girl out on a date. We decided to meet at a fancy restaurant downtown. When I got there I saw her sitting with what turned out to be her parents. They made a huge scene, calling me a pedophile and a low-life. Apparently, the girl was 16 years-old. I'm 25. FML

Today, completely excited, I told my mom about this guy from high school that I had really liked and who had found me on Facebook. He said he regretted not asking me out in high school and offered to fly me out to visit him. Her response? "Has he seen what you look like now?" 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

Haven't you read enough FMLs to know that you shouldn't date online?

17?! A little bit under the legal age, isn't it? Can we report this guy? This FML is pretty much a confession. Pedophile! YDI.

1st of all, it doesnt say the ops age. 2nd, in some places the age of consent is 17. 3rd, going after 17 year olds is not a pedophile, if it was 13 or younger than yes. 4th, couldnt report it either way, cuz no real crime was commited. try using what little of a brain you have.

@51 Age of consent for a female in most states is 16. Although 18 is what everyone is taught.

Obviously a YDI. Try meeting people irl rather than an online website you loser.

You guys realize he could be a teenager? There is a site called espinthebottle.com. Dating just for teens.

#56-the fact that he is trying to meet people online probably means that he hasnt been too successful in finding girls in real life. FYL though because she mysteriously changed from a girl to a guy.

YDI. hope you learned your lesson. Did you really never talk on the phone with "Courtney" before buying this ticket? I'm sure there were clues, that is assuming you actually spoke to this person or wrote them for a long period of time - long enough to be sure you wanted to buy a ticket to see him/her.
