I Am Falling In Love With Someone Online

Because I Care...

By: imathinkin
Written on February 9th, 2013
There are people out there...who lie. They prey on honest, trusting, lonely people. I am a smart, educated, savvy person that most would consider pretty together. But, I did encounter someone online whom I developed feelings for, who was not who they claimed to be. I might even wonder..."How could anyone be so stupid?!" had it not happen to me.

My friends were so kind...they said "I'm sure this person in your case is who they claim, but can I help check them out to be sure?" I was TOTALLY flabbergasted to learn they were a complete fake. It was so embarrassing. You feel like a complete idiot. Just remember, these people are very skillful at working on your trust and betraying you. If you have never met this person face to face, would you at least agree that the possibility exists that they MAY not be who they claim to be?

Someone loves you. Someone cares. It just may not be the person you think it is.

    The heart can sometimes be a target of those with no ethics or morals even wanting to completely devastate others hearts and bank accounts. Seems like a cold savage world out there but the good news is there are people who do not have that motive and can be open with their lives to others and are who they say they are. Their motives are just wanting to share their lives at EP Twitter or Facebook.

      I can laugh now and I do laugh in fact almost immediately when I spot yet another one. I figured it out before he got to the money part. It's the trust that bothers me...he invaded my trust. My heart truly breaks for people that have been thru this...who wanted to believe, and did.

      I just dont get how you can play with someone like that? Its another human. Yeah well the trust is a bad one - i think every time you chat with someone after that you dont believe so easily

      Yes, that was the difficult part for me. I opened my heart up to someone I came to accept as "a friend". For me it was genuine, for them it was a target, a potential mark. They have no soul.

      Non-vulnerable people too. I moved alright. Took months to build on a friendship...what I thought was friendship. Took about a week to realize the person I knew was dead. That's what it's like...getting over a death. It's funny now...how can one not laugh? It's absurd and surreal.
