Have you had any good or bad experiences from online dating, people lied about who they were?

Question

But you fell in love, or put too much into a relationship that was just a dream or a fantasy? and how did you cope with it?
This happened to some of my friends. What did you do?

G. C. Please stop sending links to trashy, pornographic websites, it's the sleasiest link I've ever seen, I am not into vulgarity, you've done this numerous times, I don't believe in casual sex, or premarital sex. I don't want to have to report you.

Answer 1

Oh I had that happen. A guy sent me a picture and we talked for like 6 months. We were going to finally meet. Then randomly one day he tells me how much he loves me. We never met. He then proceeds to tell me the truth and sent me a picture of what he really looked like. He was still a good looking guy, but he said he didn't post his real pic because his wife might see it. that unraveled a whole lot of issues. I never talked to him again.

Answer 2

I knew a guy who completely fabricated who he was on-line and completely made a woman fall in love with him. He thought it was hilarious when they finally met and all his lies were discovered. I have never met anyone on line who I would want to date. The big give-away to me is when a guy wants to talk smut right off the bat, talk about kinky sex, that kind of stuff. They think the anonymity of the computer makes them studs...it doesn't.

Answer 3

I met what I thought was a wonderful guy who advertised on an online dating service as divorced. Romantic, thoughtful, attentive, generous. He acted like he was falling in love with me and acted like the perfect boyfriend. I never had sex with him and he did not pressure me. Little by little it became clear that he was---Guess what? Married!!!! He never ever admitted it even when confronted with the evidence (lots of it!) and instead, said he owned his house with what he referred to as his "ex" who visited frequently and cooked for them, but lived apart with a relative. This arrangement was for the benefit of the daughter (who lived with him) so the daughter could have a family. He repeatedly told me of his plans in detail to sell his house so we could be together and that we would wait to have sex when he had his own place. He updated me daily on what was going on with his plans to move forward. Then all of a sudden without warning he tells me he is not going forward with his plans because his daughter had a "breakdown" when she learned of her parent's plan to sell the house. And that we could no longer be together because I needed a full time boyfriend which he could not be due to his responsibilities to his daughter. He repeatedly denied that his decision had anything to do with his "ex." I say the reason he ended it was his "ex" (who is really his wife) figured out he was having an affair. What crazy stories these guys tell. My question is why did he continue as long as he did for no sex when there are so many women out there who give it up so easily?
