So yeah. Just found out I’ve been catfished. This wasn’t the first time although the first time was super obvious and I trolled them before they asked me for money.

But this time hurts. There wasn’t even any point to it. Just some random dude DM’s me and I’m in a chatty mood so we talk. And we talk. It really was just a friendly conversation. The two of us, heart broken fools on the internet in need of a friend. And for 3 months this guy was my friend.

He was my friend for 8 days before he sent me a photo of what turned out to be just some random white dude. So for three more months he let me believe he was just an average looking white guy with bad luck with girls.

We weren’t really a flirty pair, but I sometimes got a little randy and gave him some compliments. He’s in another country, a five hour difference, we were never going to meet or anything, but I’d come to enjoy our chats and his honest advice.

So today the ball drops. I’m being nice and giving him compliments, yeah I was being horny and flirty. I tell him I wish he would feel confident enough to send me more photos of him. And he admits that the pictures he sent back in August were not him. And he’s not even white at all. Which I’ll point out was never a deal breaker for chatting with me or becoming my friend. But over time he learned my preferences for dating white men. And I can’t even feel bad at this point.

I feel so betrayed. I was a friend to him and he’d been lying to me for so long. We even talked on the phone twice. And now I have no one to talk to about how he has me so confused.

And is it just me or does anyone else want to find the person belonging to the photo and find out who they are? Like A does he know his image is being used to make friends with people on the internet? And B is he a better person than the piece of shit who’s been lying to me for 3 months?

Just, why?
