Catfished
I met him online
his picture looked fine
we texted each other
all of the time
Our relationship seemed
too good to be true
it didn't take long to see
I had been taken for a fool
I was dismayed and couldn't believe
that the man I was romancing
turned out to be a she
wouldn't you know i'd been catfished

Dear F,
I can’t imagine the range of shock and emotions you endured upon this discovery. I don’t understand someone being so cruel and callous in doing that to someone else. I’m sorry you had to experience that. H🌷

Thank you! It was hard to accept what had happened at first. I got over it eventually but the mistrust of men online still lingers I'm afraid.

That about sums it up nicely done for nowadays you have to be very careful on line for even though you can't see the snakes in the grass yet they are there hiding and planning behind a screen of glass 👁🤔

And there's some she's that are really he's too! I have read and heard of nightmare stories, Faith. It's very sad how weak people take advantage of kind souls willing to trust them.
I am sorry for your experience, but so happy you learned and hopefully will avoid it in the future. xo
