I gotta say this though. I have had people mistake me for being something I'm not... and they've done that all on their own.
I understand. I've had people speak to me in Arabic thinking I'd be Middle Eastern... :D

This one time while driving, a cop stopped me and spoke to me in Vietnamese thinking I'd understand. I didn't get a traffic ticket; he was so embarrassed to be hitting on me while "on duty." LOL

The catfish is different in the sense that the catfish is deliberately lying to you.
She/he knows very well that what she is doing is wrong, but she'll do it anyway.
She pretends to be friendly, but she knows very well she'll never meet her online romance IRL.

That's not a mistake. That's deliberately being vile.
:rolleyes:

I don't look for love online. Never have, but sometimes it finds you. I don't like to PM. This is well known. :) I don't like to cam either. Both of those things have led to situations I do not care for. I want everything I do or say online to be right out in the open for all to see, which is why I prefer the forums to chat. Anyone can see everything I type here at any time. If someone wants to be in a serious relationship with me they need to step up, ask me out and date me in person. Period.

.
Amen.

I don't go online looking for women.
That pretty much solves ALL online relationship issues.

If a girl on CC starts acting bizarre... I just block her.

You can make your life simple, or make it complicated... it's up to you.

Yes, I agree, but "in real life" relationships can get pretty complicated too. :)

Due to recent online developments in Mooseville, USA, :rolleyes: be informed that a person who is not romantically interested in you is not a catfish. Such person is simply not interested in you. :)

If he hardly makes effort to converse with you, how exactly is the friendship progressing into a godly, exclusive relationship?

It's not. :)

If you stop initiating his attention, would he make an effort to talk to you because he loves you and misses you?

If his lack of conversation with you speaks louder than his sporadic actions, and his actions don’t speak much either, how exactly is the relationship happening? The person is simply not interested in maturing anything with you. :)

If a man cannot secure a thriving conversation with you, what makes you think he is securing holy marriage vows with you?
:rolleyes:

Frankly, when a godly man is sincerely interested in making a home with you, it will be very obvious to you, to those around you and to those around him that he genuinely wants to include you in his life.

You may want to reconsider who is your Friend and who is just the Mayor of Mooseville. :)

This is an outstanding post on prospective relationships.

about Catfish: The TV Show From the producers of the acclaimed documentary film, "Catfish," comes a new MTV series that brings together couples who've interacted solely through their LCD screens. Over the course of months or years - these romantics have become smitten - but what will happen when they meet in real life for the first time?

In each episode, with the guidance and help of the star of the "Catfish" movie, Nev Schulman, and his filmmaking pal, Max Joseph, a hopeful romantic partner will go on an emotional journey to discover the truth about their significant other. Has that object of affection been telling the truth? Will true love truly blossom? When that fateful knock on the front door finally comes - only one thing is certain - that these incredible voyages will be filled with mystery, uncertainty, forgiveness, joy, and sometimes, even shocking revelations.

catfish [kat-fish] verb: To pretend to be someone you're not online by posting false information, such as someone else's pictures, on social media sites usually with the intention of getting someone to fall in love with you.
