I've been catfished before. I'm not one to get my hopes up so I can't say I was devastated or anything.

You know the feeling you get when something you have been excited for is close to happening and then something fucks everything up? Like your stomach has been tied into a knot and pulled tightly? Going from daily conversations to complete silence after being stood up is the heaviest of those feelings I've ever felt so far.

My advice: stick to trolling forums and chatrooms. You can convince people that you're a 65 year old racist or a 14 year old "amateur philosopher" or anything in-between. Not only do you get the satisfaction of making people believe a story, you also have a much smaller chance of actually affecting someone's life that way.

I think the moral of this story: stop trolling dating sites where you can harm someone (like in this case) and stick to doing that on forums. Disappointing blog all around imo.

Well, study up some italian

the actual answer is to break cleanly if this is real. just be polite. Don't even have to be super specific, just say you were misleading and it isn't right to mislead, and certainly you can't mislead someone with (real or nonreal) kids.

she said that if she found out i was a girl she would feel betrayed and would not talk to me for a long time, even though she would "eventually get over it."

so i dont want to think what she would do if i told her i lied about where i live, how old i am, and what i do...

well technically you're not a girl so if you reveal your true self, you can make that argument

To be honest at this point your only reasonable option is to study up on your italian and undergo some cosmetic surgery so you can turn into the 26 year old athletic italian businessman, who works part time in a bakery, you promised.

Ask if she loves esports and if she does, you can be sure that she's a fake.

Pretty clear the OP isn't actually a 17 year old American high school student. Maybe one day the truth will come out.

Type into google :

Anti-social personality disorder. ASPD.

Whether your condition is manifested from a bad childhood or you're just wired that way - you should address your condition, and work with a therapist. People with your condition are pure evil - some people may pity you simply because they don't understand what a sociopath is; those people need to educate themselves. You're a bad person and we both know you agree.

Good luck.
