i met this guy online a bit over a year ago & started talking to him on a fake email address i made thinking i'd just talk to him a few times when i was bored. so i made up a fake name & a fake life and ended up talking to him nearly everyday. i still talk to him a few times a week but i feel weird about it cos it was fun at first but now i wish i'd just been myself because he has turned out to be a really good friend and he doesn't live far away so if i'd just been myself we could meet up but now that can't happen. most of what i tell him now is the truth, just that i still use a different name and my history is a lie. is it normal to carry on this kind of charade for so long?

    He'll understand if he's worth it, if he doesn't then he's not.

    Wow all I have to say is that's pretty funny, because you made a fake life all up for a person. Seriously, you can just keep your personal life private without really lieing. And still chat. But I don't really care because lieing will only get you caught up in your own complex web of lies.

    I've done this before. I felt bad because I too thought I'd talk to them once and yeah. Then we spoke for 2 years before I told them. They seemed to be understanding and met up with me. I kinda knew them and had seen them around before because they where friends of friends. They stopped talking to me after I saw them and too this day it really hurts because we had become such best friends and shared so much but all that clearly wasn't enough.

    The longer you keep up the charade, the less chance you have of him accepting it when you tell the truth.

    You don't have anything to lose by being honest

    I'm not sure. I know when I was younger, I used to go on chatrooms and pretend I was an adult. Maybe, if you really want to, you can confess that most of it had been lies because you never thought you would be interested in meeting him but now you are. If he's a good friend, he might understand. Or he may just be freaked out.
