What just happened? Need advice?

So I met this guy online last year, we got very close. But then I found out he lied about his age when I added him on snapchat. He wasn't in his 30s he had just turned 18. Long story short he played me I got mad and blocked him until I could calm down. I've unblocked him but neither one of us will contact the other. Should I just forget about him entirely?

It's ultimately up to you to decide whether or not you want to continue pursuing a relationship with this person, but it's important to consider the potential risks and challenges involved.

It's concerning that this person lied about their age and may have intentionally misled you, which could indicate a lack of trustworthiness or respect for your boundaries. It's important to prioritize your own safety and well-being in any situation, and to consider whether a relationship with this person would be healthy or fulfilling for you.

If you do decide to pursue a relationship with this person, it's important to communicate your boundaries and expectations clearly and assertively, and to prioritize open and honest communication. It may also be helpful to take things slowly and to get to know each other in a safe and respectful way.

However, if you feel that a relationship with this person is not in your best interests, it's important to prioritize your own well-being and to distance yourself from the situation. By prioritizing your own needs and boundaries, you can build a strong and healthy sense of self-worth and respect, and can create fulfilling relationships based on mutual trust and respect.

So what is it you’re looking for ultimately? A fling? I don’t see this being a serious relationship. Obviously you weren’t that mad to tell him to take a hike. Regardless of what you two end up having as far as a relationship is based completely on a lie.

[Asker]

No, I don't want a fling. I guess I just need to comprehend that I was catfished ultimately. You're right. Thank you for responding

You’re welcome. Hope the best for you

[Asker]

Thank you ❤️ you too

Why would you want to continue a friendship with a liar? So you can get lied to again?

[Asker]

True.. thank you

[Guy13]

Later. Cut him loose.

[Asker]

I did. I just wanted to make sure it was the right thing to do. Thank you

[Iron_Man]

How long did you block him for

[Asker]

A month

[Iron_Man]

That’s way too long he gave up

[Iron_Man]

That’s horrible

[Asker]

Maybe, but he was being really rude and I still wasn't over the fact that he lied to me. I liked him a lot and I gave him money for his "kid" that didn't exist. So I'd say he was pretty horrible too 😕 that shit hurt ngl.

[Iron_Man]

Well, some men and women lie about their age. As long as they eventually tell ya doesn’t that count after all. After all, they want a chance with you not to be waved off within two seconds.

[Asker]

Wasn't 2 seconds. I still talked to him after. But when he got rude I got mad and blocked him. And I just checked it was 18 days not a month but ig it doesn't matter now. What's done is done.

[Iron_Man]

You can always write him

[Asker]

I could, but I think I just need to let this go. He has been unblocked for over a week if he wanted to talk to me he would have by now. I mean would you contact the person if you were in my shoes or his?

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I would

[Iron_Man]

Just write the guy and give it a shot. Maybe you could be friends

[Iron_Man]

Not a guy though

[Asker]

Thank you for your replies, I appreciate it. I'll think about it.

[Iron_Man]

Great 👍🏻
