I got catfished for a month but it was more like a week, I will explain what I mean after. I live in the UK, male 21.So I saw this girl on TikTok who claimed to be Mexican/ Iranian & was from California. When I first saw her I was amazed how beautiful she was and the fact she eventually responded to me in a couple of days amazed me. I was like no one way someone would want me( too bad it was true). So we spoke for a week and I told her stuff and she acted so loving and said she would never leave me and really treated me special. Also the replies weren’t rare so I had no reason to believe she was fake. She also apparently was SA by her dad and her 1 year old sister died as her father SA her. She really didn’t like men & I understood why as if something like that happen to me it would be likely I felt the same.She did tell me I was different from the rest of the men.I was really happy as I thought I found someone special as I have never been trully loved. And the love she was giving me was next level. So maybe I wasn’t thinking straight but I did before over think in the past in regards to people being fake and it resulted in me loosing chances. Fast track to 6 days later on the first day she was mad I had a female friend but bearing in mind I have no desire for her and made it sound like it’s her or my friend. I was really sad and didn’t make a decision and managed to get out of it with her accepting it as my friend helped me with my loneliness even if it didn’t fill the hole. Next day at night she said she had to delete her tiktok as I must admit she was posting very sexual photos and her brother saw. She said she had to leave and I was so distraught and I managed to make her create another Snapchat as she didn’t want to give me her main as she needed time to trust me. I felt really relieved and happy and spoke to her during the night till 2:00 am and when I woke up there was a Snapchat message but I couldn’t see it as she blocked me. She did this tho regularly as she didn’t want her brother finding out. I waited as I thought maybe she didn’t have her phone and that was why,as apparently he would hit her. I waited a week, then 2,and finally 3 weeks as I was hoping she would come back as she made me so happy. On Saturday my plan was to find her so I started looking at old conversations and trying to search her name and job in linked in. Then I tried Facebook, instagram & her nationality and state she lived in. Eventually I choose a photo and ran it through image search and her picture comes up but it wasn’t under the name I knew. I realised it wasn’t her, she used someone’s photos from celiserobledo a fashion model with 180k on insta. My heart hurt and I started crying. Seeing the pictures she sent and posted and seeing they were on insta made me feel so stupid. I had some doubts but I thought she was real, I thought I found someone special who cared for me. My heart felt more full and it ended up being Broken instead. I just can’t believe someone would lie to me like that. They didn’t even want money or anything. I’m now lost trust and I don’t think I can trust anyone now. Also the fact I will never find the woman of my dreams hurts me but is life. One postive I could say is atleast it didn’t last for months as I love hard.Thanks for reading if you did
