Author Star Gazer Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Hmmmm, .......I just got back from Central America. Well, a week ago. So did he. What country?
Author Star Gazer Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 I have never been tricked by a fake profile but I did create a profile for a guy I cant stand, I used pictures of him from our football tailgate parties. I made him gay and used his real email address. The best part was the following fall he brought it up and told everyone that somebody did that to him. I just told him I always figured he was gay and it was totally OK with me. I just want him to be happy. That's really, really cruel and mean-spirited. 4
Imported Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 So what hes a douchebag And you're some two faced person that couldn't tell that to his face and instead did some underhanded cowardly **** to vent at him. Let me guess, he got the girl that you were pining over. Probably ****ed her really good too lol So did he. What country? Panama and Guatemala 2
Imported Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Yes. That's what it seems like to me; they're the same in all respects except photos, and all coming at the same time. Maybe it's a Nigerian scam, where they prey on lonely chicks...creating a relationship with only emails and chats......and then with some crazy reason, they want to send you $1000 to fly over to meet them, but you need to send them $100 to avoid...well....I am sure they'll think of some reason.
sillyanswer Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 How did you find out? She was from eastern Europe and she asked if I had ever dated anyone else from her part of the world. I had, and when I told her which country the previous girl was from she said she knew someone from there and asked me what the previous girl's name was. She said she knew someone with that name... and about a day later said that she had spoken to her friend with the same name and concluded that we were talking about the same person. Basically she made out that it was a coincidence that she knew my previous date, but the way she was asking so many questions to identify my previous date (and relatively few other questions about getting to know me) were already making me suspicious before the big reveal that she did. I'm not really sure if it was really 'a friend' of my previous date, or actually her using someone else's photos. I just told her I couldn't date her if she knew my previous date, and within a day her profile was deleted.
BUENG1 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 These profiles were writing to me shortly before he ended things and have not been in contact since. They all initiated contact with me; so, it's not an algorithm thing. I guess it's possible that he got one or a couple of his buddies to see if you were multidating. I say that because he broke it off after you responded. IDK do you think he would turned off if he knew?
Author Star Gazer Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Rather obvious don't you say? I'm not sure why Star Gazer couldn't figure this one out. Except that indeed it probably was just the same person, not friends of his. I have a tendency to not beleive the worst in people. :/
New User Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I had someone try to trick me with a fake profile, but not in the way that you're describing. It was just a prank a friend tried to play on me. Didn't seem to occur to him that I would immediately be suspicious of the 24 year old who looked like a model messaging me.
Author Star Gazer Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Having fun yet?? TFY What does this mean?
hoping2heal Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 He already ended things, so I don't think that would work. But he ended things the day after I started carefully responding to one of these guys. That is really odd, I mean really odd. Similarities are one thing, but just got back traveling from the same exact foreign city?? Then the guy decides to end things because of the distance the day after you respond? I mean, distance could be a factor but it's not like he wasn't aware of it before so it always strikes me as odd when a person uses a reason for dumping that was a well known circumstance/fact from GO. I always assume it's an excuse and let's be honest; it is. 1
TB Rhine Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Make a date with one of the new guys, and make it a point to tell him he better be up to the challenge, 'cause the last guy you dated was a lousy lay. 2
aPoppySeedcares Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Quick question if any can elaborate. What are the chances that someone who contacts you mysteriously, with no profile picture, but sounds exactly, uses the same key phrases, almost to the T of a person you used to speak to. Also same profession, many details similar. Strange coincidence or not? Thank you.
Author Star Gazer Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 # I agree, there are some weird people out there especially on dating sites. I met a guy on a dating site and an ex friend of mine got jealous, asked for the details so she could vet him for me, and then put up a fake profile to trap him Her excuse for wanting his profile was that she was looking out for me There are some bored people too. Yup, I've had that happen too... recently, with another guy. I didn't think it was very fair of her to do. We're not exclusive, he can talk to whomever he wants. But *knowing* that he took the bait and contacted her kinda hurt my feelings. It shouldn't, but it did, and so it took the wind out of my sails.
Author Star Gazer Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 My guess is that your guy is a bored loser. We had two dates, weren't exclusive, and because he responds to her "wink," he's a bored loser? Haha... Riiiiight. 1
Author Star Gazer Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 I'm sorry but that's just uncalled for and mean-spirited. Did she know you liked this guy? Yes. She claims it wasn't intentional, but I'm not sure. She knew the details about him - what he does for a living, city, his name (all fairly unique). One day she asked, "How's [the guy] doing?" I told her what he was up to, and she was immediately like, "Oh, I think that guy just started messaging me." And acted like it was no big deal. I was disappointed. She then said, "Well, at least now you know he's JNTIY." It was that she didn't seem all that surprise by the "coincidence" that had/has me suspicious. I didn't think that was fair of her to do - to respond to him and engage him, knowing who he was (I'm certain she had to know), or to comment that because he responded to her wink means he's not interested in me.
