Stop gifting for a while and see if they’re still interested. Simples.

Treelichen · 07/09/2024 11:52

It’s all about the money, money, money…….

Zeeze · 07/09/2024 11:52

He likes your money. Not you. Sorry! Step away from the internet for a bit. What sort of sums are we talking about?

Sera1989 · 07/09/2024 11:56

How much have you gifted? Where does he live?

Pinkbonbon · 07/09/2024 11:58

OK so there's various possibilities

  1. It all about the money and growing his brand
  2. He's a narcissist hense needs constant attention. Hense the 4 hour long chats. And perhaps, acting like he's into you because narcissists do that solely to get you to consider the romantically - which feeds their ego.
  3. He does infact fancy you

Likely it's a combination of 2 or 3 of those things.

But even if he does fancy you, you have to consider

  1. What does that mean? Because plenty of men fancy many women and are only looking for a quick fling. Despite what pretty words they may utter.
  2. Is it feasible? Eg: do you live near eachother.
  3. Would the attraction be there in person?
  4. Do you actually like HIM or just his online persona? Or, the idea of who he is.
  5. Are you compatible? Because just be ausw he's cute and you get along...means nothing if say, he has 2 big St Bernard dogs and you, don't like dogs etc...

Ive only just started gifting this one particular host see i was only watching lives and not gifting etc but this one stood out and was so friendly etc. So i found out how u started to gift so confussing but i topped up diamonds small amounts to start now i buy over 2000 diamonds 2 support him. He asked me 2 add him on insta and we chat on a call for hours but its not everyday its like gaps in beetween its not like as much as if it was 2 people interested in each other. I dunno it just feels different with him or maybe is it because i like him so much it feels real for me maybe

You and 1000 others
Each so special....not.
It is a scam to get your money
Go meet in real life if he loves you so much

Stop giving this person money!

thereiscustardinthejamtart · 07/09/2024 12:03

You are paying him for attention. Sorry to say, but there is no future in it. You are worth more than that. Find someone IRL.

Buttercupflying · 07/09/2024 12:06

He is about 3 and half hours from me. Its all confussing a bit the interaction is there one day then few days only messages then long hour phone calls few day's after. He hasn't said he likes me in that way as i do but asked to see pics then when4i posted pics he started complimenting my pictures nice legs etc just general compliments and that's then when it got on to flirting which he started but i liked him before the flirting but the flirt bit kinda got my feelings a bit more higher than they were. He knows i find him good looking but i don't get alot back from him in terms of anything he wants to happen with us.

There's nothing confusing about it. You are paying him money and he is giving you attention to try to get more money. Obviously.

Buttercupflying · 07/09/2024 12:09

There is about 3 other gifters 2 but im not sure what goes on beetween them 2 with him but they seem happy enough in his streams watching etc they have known him about 2 years ive only known him about 2 months

Sera1989 · 07/09/2024 12:10

Honestly I think he's just after your money. Google says 2000 diamonds is about £40. If he's chatting to other women in the gaps when not talking to you and they're all giving him £40 every few days then he's probably trying to make a salary and you are just one of his customers. I'm sure you are very attractive but of course he's going to compliment the photos of people who are giving him money. By "supporting" him you are probably paying the bills on his home

Not as much as 2 people who like eachother? What?

What kind of love bombing are you talking about? You'd expect someone to chat to you for more than LITERAL HOURS, if they 'actually' liked you?

I guess you mean, on an ongoing basis but, hours are quite a long investment of time woth anyone you've never even met.

How much are 2000 diamonds worth?

Also, read up on love bombing.

thereiscustardinthejamtart · 07/09/2024 12:12

You’ve not known him for two months. You don’t know him at all. You are interacting with a persona used to earn money.

It’s a scam.

Buttercupflying · 07/09/2024 12:14

Its hard for me ti step back from him because he's so nice he said he'd play like interaction games with my son because he use to be a gamer etc 2000 diamonds and my son would get a chance to play gaming with a gamer etc

OP posts:
Pinkbonbon · 07/09/2024 12:14

There's an easy solution though op

You say 'fancy meeting up next week?'.
If he umms and awws and changes the subject or says he busy but doesn't suggest another definite time and place he can manage, you know he's not actually into you. Because someone who fancies you would want to meet you.

Buttercupflying · 07/09/2024 12:15

No im not wealthy i budget to buy diamonds for him just 2 support him on the app

Anoisagusaris · 07/09/2024 12:16

Fuck me I must be getting old. My first thought when I read the subject title was that this was going to be about a party streamer/banner type thingy 🙈 And then I didn’t understand most of the post .

Would you really want your son playing with some stranger off the Internet.

Sorry but it would give me the ick that someone I'd never met was suggesting socialising with my son. It's creepy. You just can't see it because you fancy him.

This man is a complete stranger. If you are daft enough to send money to him, that's one thing, but keep him away from your son.

Buttercupflying · 07/09/2024 12:17

Pinkbon yes he said the highest gifter would get s chance to go on a day trip with him etc but its about being highest gifter. Im to shy to to say shall we meet up see. I liked him so much its awkward to actually say anything out right to him
