And this is why trying to warn someone about a catfish is, unfortunately, totally useless.
No one being catfished will actually listen.
Joe, I do give you credit for not exploding at us or calling us liars when we try to talk to you, because that's what others have done in the past.
But when this person breaks your heart, and she will, we are still your friends.
You can always come back and talk to us and we will comfort you and pray for you. I have to admit that this is the most frustrating part though, having a person you sincerely tried to warn ignore everything you say, then comes to you in the aftermath, constantly wanting to talk about how hurt they were even though they ignored everything that was told to them.
I can't tell you how maddening it is to see friends who have known you a long time speak in vain and are genuinely trying to help you, but you just stick your fingers in your ears and refuse to listen, or better yet, to see.
All the evidence you need is right in front of you.
