In love with a streamer

[Buttercupflying]

Hi everyone im Falling for a bigo host ive been gifting and chatting 2 this person offline not just bigo and we chat 4 long hours on insta but im Starting to catch feelings we have a bit of flirt time also but nothing to deep the flirt bit happeend once out of no where. Does he like me or because i gift? Also watched a movie via because i was higher gifter but he hinted for me to get higher to win. He started the flirt bit not me we chat for ages on call one on one please am i being silly here

100% this.

Glad it’s not just me. I thought maybe streamer’ was a new word like Gen Z or something. Piecing it all together a bit now, but my mind is completely boggled.

I went short last month yes had to lend of family. I tell him i do it ti support him etc i never went without gifting him i could try and not gift and see what happens. But he did say his vehicle cost 600 and that all his savings had been blown like maybe thinking id say ill pay it

But he did say his vehicle cost £600 and that all his savings had been blown, like maybe thinking I'd say I'll pay

I can guarantee that his savings would easily pay the £600.

But that wasn't even true. He hasn't got to pay £600 for anything.

He was lying, to see how many people would give him some diamonds.

And I bet a lot of silly women did give him some.

You need to stop feeling sorry for this scam artist.

You had to borrow money from your family! To give "diamonds" (cash) to a crook, who doesn't care about you.

BLOCK HIM AND DELETE THE APP.

Why do you keep saying you're going to stop giving him diamonds, to see what happens?

Just do it.

Feel like im to blame for giving them but he did say there's a cheaper way and gave me code for cheaper ways i think i just need ti forget him lesson learned i think im to gullable

Have you blocked him yet? Deleted the app?

So you've given him money that should be spent on your child

Stop it

Now

That has been the advice given, since the thread began. Delete, block, or whatever it is.

Ive just not logged in to anything not delted but not logged in. I got left short due ti sending diamonds but lent money of family because i left myself short

You borrowed money from your family.

What did you tell them it was for? Food? Bills? Clothes for your son?

I'm sure they wouldn't have lent you money so that you could give diamonds to a scammer.

'Lent' only applies if you are the one giving someone else money.

But borrowing money to pay some random online because you've spent all your current savings...come on now op, that's basically gambling. With very bad odds because let's face it, you won't win anything good.

Hmm. Shark is getting eyed up for a big ol' jump, I reckon.

I needed it for food which it did go on as i spent last on diamonds for him i do feel stupid when i think back ive just put love rats on Netflix now and relaxing

Did you tell your family you needed to borrow money for food because you sent yours to a grooming sex pest on the Internet?

The only sensible thing you can do now is block and delete. Women on here are just going to keep telling you this.

You needed to borrow money for food because you'd spent your own money on diamonds for a scam artist.

@Buttercupflying why have you not deleted the app and his details?

It’s really worrying that you borrowed money to spend on this guy who is basically a romance scammer, when you needed the money to buy food for yourself and your child. However, I am glad you have shared this information on here. Often scammers rely on embarrassment and shame to control their victims. You have nothing to feel embarrassed about, he is the one behaving shamefully by holding up the promise of a special relationship ( which he has no intention of giving) to get money out of you, and probably several other women too . You will never get any real love out of this guy. Delete the app and move on.

Then delete it before you're reduced to begging for financial help to feed yourself and your child.

I totally agree with this. It’s good you’re talking about it here @Buttercupflying

Take the next steps. Delete the app. Speak to the person from Mind.

It absolutely will not be the first time she has helped someone through this kind of thing. If you are not sure how to tell her, we can help you phrase something to write down and you could give her the note.

Thank you i felt teary last night because i had one if his insta video on my video album thing but think it's just where im breaking threw leaving the app and contact etc

You need to delete the app and all traces of him (videos etc) to remove temptation.

Did you watch loverats on Netflix?

Did you see any similarities in the stories of women desparate for love and romance handing over money to people who had manipulated and deceived them?
