I(32F) befriended a (43M) guy via an online game 2 years ago. For more than 1.5 years, we would chat daily and laugh a lot. After months, it turned to flirting and sexting. After a while, I wanted to meet him in real life. He rejected me and just said he was not a nice guy but never elaborated more and would get frustrated if I asked him to explain. He said he didn't know what else to tell me. At that point, I put an end to the sexting even if he would have liked to continue. We went back to being friends.

Fast forward, 1 year later, we are still friends and never overstep the fence again. He respected my boundary. I tried, but I couldn't just go back to being just friends. Recently, we had another discussion where I mentioned I knew he wasn't open to meeting in real life and told him goodbye. Again, he told me he is not the amazing guy, I think he is but just a normal guy. I never thought he was perfect. Why would he say that? Was he lying to me about something? Just some lack of confidence? Was I catfished?

Edit: I just remembered something odd. And it may explain everything. I saw many pictures of him, so I don't think he was lying about that. But he never sent a picture of his genitals even after I asked for it. He just always said he was never able to get a good one before getting soft. He did say he had a big one. He is taller than the average, so that didn't sound unusual. But now that I just checked the number he gave me on a chart, I doubt the length was right. That would be like 95 percentile.
