Funny People

Well, apparently I just met one of the odds happens on this site.

No pun intended as I only wanted to share if anyone here has had the same funny experience and how did you guys deal with the situation.

Long story short I met this guy online, chatted for a month while I kept trying to ask when will be the right time for us to meet as he's also in Jakarta. From all his chats he seemed sincere just several things didn't seem right, like he didn't really tell me where he works or try to call me or could give his recent photos.
Scammer alerts, I know!

Just today he admitted that he was just experimenting and had a bad break up in which his ex left him for another guy she met online. He was trying to have a feel on what actually made the ladies could fall for guys online. Along the way he feels that I've been so sincere that it's time for him to -finally- reveal his true identity and he did send me immediately his current picture.

Now, is this a friend to keep or kick him out?

In all fairness, he did eventually got the guts to tell the truth and we could always reset and start from 0. We always have pleasant conversation too on another note.moping

You are right! He is a funny one and this is a funny, not to mention sneaky, way to satisfy his curiosity. I would have to say to go with your heart. However, if it were a woman doing that to me I don't think I would care to venture further in this type of relationship.
well all that he said,his reasons might be true. if he lives close and agrees to meet you in person, why not? what do you have to lose? I read a story on a swedish forum about a girl who lied about her age(she was 20 not 25), place where she lived and profession. They meet and liked each other and she still didn't dare to tell him the truth. But eventually she told him. He was angry especially because she was too young, but after a while he met her again.
Sneaky indeed! laugh
I guess some of the guys on their 30s are still having such curiosity moping
To follow my foolish heart is to continue the friendship, yet part of my brain and even he himself said that with his current background of having his sneaky thoughts might not be a good start at all. Wonder if tis' me or him being complicated
laugh
People are on their best behavior in the beginning. If he started out with lies and manipulation, what does that say about his potential for a healthy relationship or friendship? Certainly you deserve better comfort
nevica wave good to see you

I'd love for us to have the chance to meet in person as I said on my other blog post that I truly crave for someone to share a good conversation with. And with him, regardless of his silly experiment, we did share some common grounds when talk about things.
Now the questions are, what about trust as one of the foundations of a good relationship, all the while he initially was just fooling around with me. And am I that desperate to having a good friend? moping
Hi B wave
Well said and you're so right!
I suppose I somehow have grown a found of his persona, wish that it could go away soon drinking
Marshmallowgirl, we are not perfect and may make mistakes. In internet world many prefer to be anonimous and don't take it seriously at least from the start. I don't think what he did was so serious, I would forgive him that if he otherwise is good. It is very difficult to find a person that really matches one, you may throw away a good match and never find anything like that again.

Thank you for the insights, I could feel we've somewhat the same free souls, totally understand what you mean.
Wipe the slate clean and start again, what do you really have to lose. Meet him first in a very public place, don't allow your heart to get too close too quickly and see how things pan out. People do daft things, he could be sincere he may not be, only time will tell

Walk on warm sands wine
almera hug
point well taken, we indeed start from 0 and been good friends since cheers
