AIBU wondering how these people are strung along for months and sometimes years without ever feeling it's suspicious???

I often wonder that. Like the guy who was convinced he was in an online relationship for 6 years with Katy Perry.

Soubriquet · 10/09/2016 18:18

Some people are so desperate to believe in it, they will ignore all signs

thegoodnameshadgone · 10/09/2016 18:21

I can't turn it off!!

The Katy Perry one was ridiculous Grin

But the others is easy. They often live in different states hours and hours away so it won't be easy to meet them in person.

WorraLiberty · 10/09/2016 18:24

I don't agree Omgkitties

I would have before Skype and Facetime etc, but not now.

HarleyQuinzel · 10/09/2016 18:26

I think they're just quite naive.

The Bow Wow one is my favourite, I haven't seen the Katy Perry one!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 10/09/2016 18:32

Even when faced with the truth, the guy still believed it was Katy Perry. It got a bit weird because he was still messaging the girl as if she was Katy Perry.

Cocklodger · 10/09/2016 18:34

Its all rather strange isn't it?
Its mind boggling really.

thegoodnameshadgone · 10/09/2016 18:34

I saw the bow wow one this afternoon. Still sitting watching it as DD is with her dad this weekend. I hope the Katy Perry one is on Smile

All it takes is 10 bloody minutes on google to find out if it's lies. They don't want to know the truth.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 10/09/2016 18:35

Dont know if the KP one has come on yet. I only found out about that one because of a news article about KP feeling sorry for him.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 10/09/2016 18:36

I think some people just crave the attention, even if it might be all lies.

thegoodnameshadgone · 10/09/2016 18:43

Omg there is one on now with an actual happy ending. Awww.

OP posts:
TaliZorahVasNormandy · 10/09/2016 18:47

which one?

x2boys · 10/09/2016 18:48

Was that the one with the guy in the navy thegood?

thegoodnameshadgone · 10/09/2016 18:49

Yep I think so he was only young.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 10/09/2016 18:49

It was Derek and Lauren. They split up after getting engaged.

Tiggeryoubastard · 10/09/2016 18:55

Some people are just so desperate (and yes, thick) that they'll overlook anything that doesn't fit. Look at the frankly unattractive women that parade their sad faces in the DM every summer when their foreign titbits have left then after getting their money and sometimes residency.

Tiggeryoubastard · 10/09/2016 18:57

Foreign toyboys! Ffs! I not know what happened there.

thegoodnameshadgone · 10/09/2016 19:00

Titbits lol not entirely incorrect Confused
