I've been wanting to talk to you about something for some time now, but didn't know how. I have to be honest with you, I did something to you that I am very ashamed about. I did something I've never done before, and probably would have looked down on if someone else did, for for some reason, an inexcusable reason, I did. I lied to you, and the worst part about it, isn't the lie, but the fact that I let this lie last for so long. I led you to believe in something which wasn't true, and I'm goign to confess it to you, willing to accept the consequences. Liz, who you have been getting to know for some time now, was created by me. She's not a real person. I was hurt that you and I fit so well together, but you just couldn't see us as anthing more than friends. A friend of mine had made up a fake person to trick her boyfriend, and for some stupid reason I thought I could do the same thing. But it ended up going too far. I played with your emotions and led you to believe that this person...

was real, but she isn't. That person you have been growing to like, is me, just not the physical me. The personality, the interests, everything was me. I just changed some of the details so that you wouldn't know it was me right away. I honestly expected you to figure it out, but i guess i'm just a better storyteller than I thought. But now i feel like an idiot! So the truth is out now, and I won't try to defend myself, because nothing i can say or do will fix this. I know it was wrong, and I wasn't raised to do things like this. I've always been honest with you, and so that's why I can't do this anymore. So please accept my apology. I know it'll be hard for you to ever trust me, and I don't blame you. I understand if you feel that this is an unforgivable thing. Just know I love you, and wish I never did this. Sorry for the pain I cause. Love, Carrie.....how would you react?

by the way i'm the one that wrote the letter...just don't know if i should send it.

I think that pretty much says it all and is the right thing to do. I'm sure some people will think it is a bit long, but I think you did a good job of stating what was going on and why. Hopefully this will give him a chance to think about things and digest over time. I'm sure at first he will be very hurt and upset but maybe if your lucky, over time he will continue to reread this and see just how much this lie has cost you and that your feelings for him are real. The main thing is to send it and end this lie so both of you can move forward even if you don't know where that will lead.

WOW....I'm not sure if you've pulled off the most romantic or the craziest thing I've ever heard of! You know this person on several different levels, you alone know how they are going to react to this situation think it through before you send your letter, weigh out the possibilities and decide from that......If your gonna lose someone who you feel is "the one" maybe you should make Liz move away!
But it's all in your character, if your so honest that it will be hard to live with tell it....either way good luck to you!

Yes, send it. It´s a really good and honest apology. Besides it seems that you didn´t do it to play with his feelings and the way you explain it in this letter is really good. He should forgive you, he may even want to go out with you, but if he does, try to relax a bit, take the fun part of it, I´m sure he´ll understand, you didn´t do too much damage to him anyway, so take it a little easier.
Good luck!

I am not sure how I would react. Sounds like she wanted to be with you so bad she was willing to stop at just about nothing (maybe a little obsessed with it). I don't agree with her behavior at all, but desperate people will go to desperate extremes.
I would either try to be undestanding, but at the same time very cautious about it, or I would tell the person to stay the hell out of my life, depending on how freaked I was. about the situation.

first of all, i think you need to ask carrie why she did such a thing. i mean face to face talk too her about it. i'd be really hurt/mad about it, but i'd have to respect the fact that she @ least came out about the situation. i think you need to speak too her and get things settled/resolved, and then from there you can decide if you want to continue your friendship with this girl or not.
good luck sweetie-- i hope this helped!!

I would think your insane. If a person tells you they just want to be friends then they just want to be friends. Doing something like this makes you look desperate. Sorry, that's my honest opinion.

Well Carrie, I think Liz should answer as to whether she will forgive you. Good Luck!

I'd say you were hiding something, since apparently you are the author, pretending to be someone else

forgive 'em... its true that they played with your emotions, and they went to far but atleast they came clean about it and realized that they did wrong and and did a heart felt apology
