It's a local dating website in my european country. It does show everyone's online status and when they were last online.

I don't believe it was about scamming me out of money. Tbh i've seen ads for jobs that claim to be "website moderator" but in actuality you get paid 70 cents for each sexual message you send to someone, thus the longer you keep them on the hook the more you earn. My mistake was that the person seemed too genuine to me. There was even periods where they didn't msg me for a few days.

She wasn't messaging me that much at first, there was even a point where i didn't hear from her for 3 days and triple texted her before she told me sorry i've been so busy and exhausted at work.

Yeah, it's always the asian girls with the crypto scams. I entertained one once to see how far it would go. She really made me work for it to reveal the scam website lol.

Yeah biggest sign was that she deleted the profile when i asked for the special selfie finally. Idk what the end goal was tho. I'm guessing they were hired by the website to keep people engaged and look at ads.

He claims he saw me and her log out at the same time a lot, which is true because we often said goodnight with the woman.

Yeah idk what to think. She seemed too good to be true tbh and the guy told me some very specific details, same exact phrases she had told me. I kept talking to the guy about our experience. Eventually he gave me his facebook. I took a look and he has no profile pic, but in one of the pictures he mentions a very specific mall that the woman claimed to have lived near once. On top of that, one of the women in the comments used the word "Absolutely!" which the person on the site also used a lot. So it could be 3 things: they were working together on this, it was just him all along or he is actually the stalker ex that she used to live with.

Ngl the pandemic years were rough on my dating life. But she was extremely convincing and manipulative with the stalker talk and i tried to be patient and understanding about her privacy needs.

Yeah i really should've asked for either a video chat or a picture of her doing the finger symbol a long time ago. I just didn't want to believe someone was capable of such manipulation. She built the narrative of not trusting me, so i felt the need to prove myself that i care about her enough to wait for her.

Yeah i got the same feeling, that it might be him all along. He told me he noticed many times that me and her logged out at the same time, cause we did often say goodnight to each other.

Fuck sake, I got a message today saying it's her and she wants me to know that she's still alive, but her health has taken a big downturn.
