Who do I trust?

ANY NAMES IN THIS STORY ARE NOT REAL NAMES, THEY'RE COVER UP NAMES

I am a 17 year old girl. Last year due to reason I will not share on here I swore to never fall in love again. Anyways, 5 months later I fell in love with a "16 year old". In September of this year, he asked me out and I accepted. My new boyfriend never gave me any reason to not trust him. Then recently, his ex, Paisley, asked me how old I was and I told her. She asked why he'd date a 17 year old because he's 13 and just turned 13 last month. I told her I was confused because he told me he was 16 and turned 17 last month. I asked a couple of his other exes, Harley and Kaylee, how old he said he was to them. He told Harley and Kaylee he was 15, Paisley he was 13, and told me he was 16. I asked boyfriend why Paisley was saying he was 13 and he said "I'm not. She likes to lie a lot. Maybe she's just jealous" After I talked with boyfriend I talked with his exes again and Harley said she thinks he's lying about his age to date us since he gave us all different ages. Harley and Kaylee both say he looks 13 and I do have to agree that he does look young, but once he said he has a baby face for a teenager. Honestly at this point I don't know who to trust because it's all so confusing. Who do you guys think I should trust or what should I do?

Another thing is he once told me his parents ages and how old they were when he was born and they added up to him being 16 at the time so that makes it a little more confusing

Ask him for a copy of his birth certificate or his health card.

Hard to say tbh there's a lot that seems confusing and a lot of questions that need answers

[Asker]

I know. Every time I ask him a question to try to figure it out, he either ignores it or answers it in a way that makes sense to what he told me

[jimmy14532]

Understandable i have ideas that could b possibilities to try but without fully explaining it itll sound confusing

Ask him to show you some kind of identification.

Oh, sweetie, sounds like you’re caught in a dating soap opera! 🎭 At 17, honesty and trust are your BFFs in any relationship. If your boyfriend’s age is as flexible as a yoga instructor, that's a major red flag! 🚩 It's vital to address such discrepancies openly. If he can't give a straight answer after all these "age surprises," it might be wise to step back and guard your heart. Only you can decide who to trust, but always trust your gut when it whispers, "girl, something’s fishy!" Take care of yourself and keep those love goggles clear! 😘❤️

Demand to see his birth certificate

[shortster]

Ask his parents?

[Asker]

I can't. I don't know them , he's in Connecticut I'm a few states away

[shortster]

Then how did you meet him?

[Asker]

App called likee

[shortster]

In person?

[Asker]

No. Online. I know for sure he's a minor because he's posted videos of his face and i video call him. I just can't tell his actual age

[shortster]

You can tell he is the person who is in the pictures. He might be in his early 20s and looks younger. You really shouldn't engage in online dating as a minor. Stick with guys you meet in high school.

[Asker]

I'm in online school and hardly talk to my classmates😭

[shortster]

Why are you in school online? The plandemic has been over for 3 years.

[Asker]

because my parents dont feel like putting me in school. i've been begging to go to public school but they don't listen
