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, the boy that I met online six months ago and expressed my love to sent me a picture of himself and confessed how old he really was: thirteen. I'm eighteen years old and holding a steady job. FML

Today, I met a guy online. We talked all night long and hit it off amazingly. He told me he'd never felt that way about anyone else, and I agreed. He sent me a picture and he was gorgeous. I sent him one after he assured me he didn't care what I looked like. I haven't heard from him since. FML

Today, I met the guy I've been talking to online for two years in real life. He tried to convince me to have his children because they would be average height. He's a midget and I'm 6'2". This is the most romantic thing anybody has ever said to me. FML

Today, I got a text from the guy I've been in love with for 3 years, saying, "So um, I've been wondering. Did you used to be a man?" FML

Small world

Today, while visiting family in my very small hometown for the summer, I met a guy and we really hit it off. Everything was going great, and I brought him home to meet my family, where my grandmother told me he was 16. Now I’m definitely not getting lucky this trip. FML

Today, for the first time in more than two years, a guy asked me out. Too bad he lives halfway around the world. 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, after many weeks of talking to this guy over the phone for hours on end and establishing that we both had feelings for the other, we met in person. He saw me, got an "emergency text," and hasn't talked to me since. FML

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

Which means he's a married 48 year old man from New Jersey - or some dude you know from work.

#4-um that is why it's the internet? people take the internet so seriously sometimes. agreed with #226 there is a reason people find comfort and "fall in love" online...it's because you can hide your deficiencies, and so can they.

Same thing happened to me, and I did talk on the phone and get pictures. The girl that lied to me even sounded like a guy. We talked for 2 years before another guy got pissed bc of our fake relationship and he made my mom call the cops. But me and the girl are still friends I just laugh about the whole thing.( the other guy is my now boyfriend)

Yay #98! I'm happy for you =) For the people saying it's not possible to fall in love over the internet, I too have evidence to the contrary. I met a guy online, realised I loved him a few months later and it was a couple of months more after that before we both had webcams so we could videochat, but we exchanged 'I love you's the first time we heard each other's voice. Since then we've spent time together in person, but that was about 9 months into the relationship. Next month we will have hit a year and a half together =) So, it does happen. And I think there are definite benefits to exploring so much of a person's mind and thoughts before you even get to the more physical parts.

Oh, and in regards to the 'find people in REAL life to fall in love with': I've been in other relationships, and been interested in other people, but when I met this guy.. I didn't want to fall in love over the internet, who the hell WOULD choose what is clearly a crappier option, because of the difficulties it brings? But I couldn't help it. Sometimes the person who's right for you isn't the one right next to you.
