Have you gotten a romance scam?

I think romance is a pure scam. There is no such thing. It’s false script.

A romance scam is a type of fraud where a scammer creates a fake identity to build a fake romantic relationship with a victim to gain their trust and ultimately sex or money as a goal. These scams often start on social media or indirect information from a friend’s groups, and after the scammer builds a strong connection, they start meeting first on public places and then in privacy, talk sensual and sexy things and ultimately try to have sex. If sex is not scammer’s goal, he will invent a crisis to ask the victim for money, gifts, or some favour.

There are some common red flags to watch and keep track of relationship purpose of scammer. Be alert if the person is overly complimentary and wants to move the relationship forward very quickly. If he or she avoids meeting in person or video chatting. If he or she asks for money, gift cards, some special facility, or if he or she tell sob stories or claim to have a lucrative investment opportunity. If you find somebody makes you smile, feel comfortable, and cherish you, you are in for a romantic treat. Keep eyes open for red flags, but remember, every love story is unique, even if it feels scripted sometimes. Keep loving and stay optimistic. I am saved once from such trap with the help of my childhood friends.

I have never gotten a romance scam but when I was 23, I was attracted to a random guy online because of his photo and later decided he was not as verbally sophisticated as I would have preferred in a guy, killing my attraction to him. Later I asked him a few questions about the bible and he told me he was married. So some time during that 3 year period, from when I first met him to when we last spoke, he had gotten married and his wife had gotten pregnant within a week after there ceremony.

You convinced yourself of that to cope with not being able to participate in it. Your subconscious tricks you into thinking it doesn't exist to avoid introspection because honest introspection strips away coping mechanisms that the subconscious will do anything to keep. Just because you are too emotionally unhealthy to have an experience doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Check the spam folder on any email account once in a while. It's fucking hilarious, almost like reading a joke book. Only fans? Instagram? Dating apps?

Someone pretend he is romantic take advantage of you

[Simslover92]

Is that really a scam though?

It can't be a scam if you have lived for many years. 16+ years in my case.

Does he say he is a lesbian or transgender wearing panties or want paging?

It feels like one girl is constantly manipulating and tormenting me, but I can't quit her.
