Looking back I can see where I ignored all the red flags, so try not to beat me up here. I know...
A part of me feels flattered that this guy worked so hard to hook me in, but another part of me just feels angry, vengeful, and obsessed. I am no angel here. I flirted with him too, but it turns out that our romance meant more to me than it did to him. Grrrr...
Have you been there? How did shake off these negative feelings?
If I can let go of this negativity and stop beating up on myself, then at least I will unblock and write and sing about my experience. Right now I just want to expose the guy and strangle him. Not good...:)

Ya look at it this way:
It's over, you can't change it, you're only human (and we tend to enjoy flattery), and sometimes we really want to believe someone is who they portray themselves to be so we ignore the red flags...
Yes, I've been fooled by someone online. We never actually met (although it seemed we were quite close to doing so) but I know 2 women who did meet him...he was a pathological liar, but to others he seemed too good to be true (until we started comparing notes).
Learn the lesson and move on. The worst part of this situation would be if you put yourself in the same position again....if he duped you, then it's his bad karma.
Live, learn, move forward. ☺

If it was just an online relationship, get over it. We all learn lessons on the Internet if we start making personal connections...just as we do in real life (you probably dated a guy who was a Bozo in RL, right?) Chalk it up to lesson learned and move on to the next guy. Who knows, you may get lucky and find that one in a million guy.

Been there, done that, worn the T. Shirt. Yep, I went in hook, line and sinker and ended up very badly hurt.
Let it go and move on with your life.
