Today, I found out the girl I met online, who I spent hours talking to every day for the past 2 months, and who I fell in love with is actually my gay roomate. He says if I could fall in love with "her", I can fall in love with him. It doesn't work that way, dickhead. FML

Your roommate sounds like a real pain in the ass

Your roommate needs to understand that dating is personality COMBINED with attraction physically. If you are straight it just can't work.

Um, how on Earth can you fall in love with someone you've never even met, let alone heard their voice or seen their face?? That's right, you can't. You fell in love with the idea of her; something entirely made up. You also played a part in creating her character. It will always be made up, unless you actually meet this person. YDI

#89 That's quite harsh, and not necessarily true. I met my fiance online and I fell in love with him very fast - granted we did video chat and things, but so long as someone is honest in their demeanor it is really no different to falling in love in real life, minus the physical connection, which is less important for some. I tried to rationalise myself out of my feelings but after years of denial I finally took the risk and met him and turns out he was everything I instinctively had known he would be. Everyone kept warning both of us that we might not be compatible in real life, and I myself knew there was that risk, but turns out he's even better in real life than he is online. Anyway, there are plenty of nasty, abusive people who are more than capable of deceiving vulnerable people that they are who they're not - EVEN in real life, and there are plenty of people who would be honest and open online as they are in person. Things are always easy to judge in hindsight. People fall in love with an 'idea of a person' all the time - online AND real life, and people also fall in love 'legitimately' online too, as I did. When it comes down to it, it's the person, not the mode of communication, that determines the outcome.

your roommate can't help being in love with you, he just did something stupid because of it (like he's the only one who's ever done that). Explain to him that although you like his personality, you can't be more than friends because you're not physically attracted to men. and try to be nice, liking someone who doesn't like you back is painfull

This is why you have to have live conversations - by phone, Skype or whatever. The fakes will always have a constant flow of excuses why they can't.

Why doesn't it? To be fair if you think you fell in love with him he has a point...?

That is awful. He made you spend a lot of time talking to him about personal things and betrayed your trust. That is a disgusting invasion of privacy. I think catfishing it illegal - impersonating someone. It is a horrible thing to do and your roommate needs help if he thinks that is acceptable.

actually it does...especially if the only thing that changed was their name and gender. . .so unless he changed his complete personality...ur already in love with him... stop being homophobic. if u don't like guys then u don't like guys. but either quit whining and move on, or give it a shot

OP isn't being homophobic in the slightest. Attraction is an important part of a relationship. Sure maybe the room mate has a great personality (although that clearly isn't the case as he's willing to lie about himself on the internet in order to pressure his straight room mate into dating him) but if OP isn't attracted to men it's just never going to work.

OP is not homophobic just because he isn't gay. What kind of logic is that? I knew someone was going to go there.

OP has every right to 'whine' - he spent hours and hours building an emotional connection to someone who turned out to be fake. The roommate lied but also possibly got OP to rely upon and reveal certain secrets to a fake female. This is a huge abuse of trust and OP must be devastated. Even supposing OP WAS gay, or that their roommate was female, for someone to act like that, say what you want to hear and deceive you in such a way would be crushing and would not make you want to date them after

Everyone saying give it a chance is being really dumb honestly. A straight person can't force themselves to be attracted to the same gender anymore than a homosexual person can force themselves to be attracted to the opposite gender. If a straight guy did this to his lesbian friend I guarantee you the response would be A LOT different. I hate how hypocritical the internet can be.

It's totally possible to fall in love with somebody's personality without ever being attracted to them physically. Having said that, your roommate REALLY needs professional help if he thinks lying to get into your pants is ok. "Give it a chance" DOES NOT WORK is there's just NO interest, period, no matter what gender.
