Yeah. She found out just yesterday.

My sister was suspicious and had me look into it. Besides the obvious signs like she cancelled meet up dates and wouldn't skype...

Our friend was totally oblivious. She simply did not want to accept the warning signs

Finally she demanded the girl she come over and meet her. The girl she thought it was
ended up being a 300 pound liar

Now my friend is embarrassed and mortified. Called my sister crying last night.

Lesson here: do not date someone you cannot meet or have not seen.

DidoBelle: exactly....

After 1 month of talking they were talking about getting married.

My friend kept calling her her "Fiancee"

They were about to buy each other rings....but NEVER met!

After the 5th time cancelling their first date, that is when Ashley demanded she come over to meet her

florence_reverie: Exactly! Ashley is attractive too, but she has trama and seeks love to easily

Oh_Ohna: Exactly! There is just no excuse

We asked Ashley why she wouldn't listen to us when we were telling her she was being Catfished. She said it was because she wanted so bad for this to be true.

Oh_Ohna: Exactly! Both have issues

Ashley was abuse as a child by her stepfather. When she told her mother, her mother didn't believe her. I think it stems from there. She is confused about her sexuality, doesn't feel she can be loved, etc. Sad

Zenovia: IKR! Can't trust anything anymore!

Oh_Ohna: I am surprised at how common that is

Oh yeah?

She has done that, but since she works for my sister and wants a career with the company, my sister made her take everything down and clean up her act.

Yeah. My sister is like a spiritualist and psychologist without the degrees. She's magnificient.

I tell everyone that there is someone for everyone. Made me think of my friend Dorothy who is like 280 ibs and always dating. It's all about your attitude. Guys who wouldn't normal date girls "like her"

dated her!

Of course. But I can see how that can be true for many.

I understand ya. I think that it is important to make your own decisions about yourself, to see the beauty in yourself because everyone is, and to be confident in how you feel about yourself. Our world is too

wrapped up in how people feel about each other's looks, but confidence in beauty starts from the inside.

And it comes out to the surface.

Dorothy was not pretty, but when she smiled she lit up a room.

Oh good. It's a hard psychological process to come out of

That's awful. I am sorry you had to go through that.

It's horrible when men feel they can abuse a woman to control her.

Yeah. That guy was horrible! Too bad I didn't know you back then. I would have had to get you to adopt my "I'll fuck you up" attitude on you

to use on him

I am glad too! Guys like that need a lesson.

And grow strong I hope. Know that when someone mistreats you to dump them immediately. There will be others

Oh_Ohna: D'awww! I'm glad!

I was just reading an old journal entry about me going on and on about my first major boyfriend and got embarrassed. He told me he didn't want us to date anymore ever but kept coming around. Then I said..

...."I hope 10 years from now when I re-read this that we are together because we are perfect for each other."...

It's 10 years later and I am embarrassed for myself for even thinking that, but the feelings of love, whether or true or not, can make you crazy. hahaa

Well, there have been a good amount after him and I haven't thought of him in a long time.

Yeah I definitely don't look into it. I am kind of remorsed that my most recent ex is on my Facebook page. I don't want to unfriend him because we ended our relationship amicably and he's so nice.

But I never look at his page

Or read his updates

I think an ex is an ex and should be left in the past.

Unless an awesome friendship can come out of it, but this guy I am not interested in being friends with. He bores me.

And he's self absorbed

That is definitely not a good recipe for a friendship.

Exactly!

I am a big girl irl

samlaszlo: Yeah. You are one of those girls in your gif?

florence_reverie: Preach it! That is so true!

I watched one episode when the girl found out her catfish was a transgender woman currently going through the change, and still loved her! She was just upset about the lie, but go over it.

Oh_Ohna: Yeah that one was good. I hope they make it.
