To want to have a relationship with this man?

I play an online game, all fairly time-wasting. But one of the options is to play against others. This generally happens with no contact between you but the game has a chat function.

So yesterday I had a message from someone wanting to start a conversation. He’s an American, currently working over here for the C.I.A. And he’s spent 35 years in the military. Here on top secret business which he’s felt the need to share with me within the confines of the chat functionality of the game.

Is widowed and lonely and never has time for dating, and has never spoken to anyone like me before, I am a breath of fresh air....

So obviously he’s completely genuine. I mean what could possibly be wrong with that? Poor lonely man stuck in the UK on secret business which he isn’t allowed to discuss? Well apart from with me obviously.

So, would IBU to pursue a possible relationship with him?

Sounds legit! Crack on. What could possibly go wrong? GrinWink

😂😂😂😂

This is awesome. I'd need to pretend I totally believed to see what else he comes out with.

EssentialHummus · 04/12/2019 09:50

Do it! Do it!

Harriett123 · 04/12/2019 09:51

Oh definitely he sounds like the perfect man.
While you have access to such top secret information you should get all the dirt on trump and publish it on wiki leaks

It's such a difficult life for these lonely American soldiers online. The poor darlings. And so good looking, too... Such a shame they are always being evicted or arrested on false accusations, or having their faces amputated and needing money for healthcare. But at least they can see YOUR worth, OP and know that YOU are the one woman whose love and life savings can help them heal...

summersherewishiwasnt · 04/12/2019 09:52

O.K then. This is fun (and totally bullshit) but I don’t mind my post being deleted.

Propolis · 04/12/2019 09:52

Give him your bank details immediately

SupersonicGerm · 04/12/2019 09:53

poor dear. Maybe offer him your life savings?Grin

LilouBlue · 04/12/2019 09:54

What have you got to lose?! He sounds like THE ONE 😁

raspberryk · 04/12/2019 09:54

I was just going to say you clearly need to loan him some flight money at some point Grin

Getitwright · 04/12/2019 09:54

I don’t think he is playing the same online game as you..........

BeardyButton · 04/12/2019 09:56

You should aim for marriage. Anything less might lead him to believe you dont trust him.

salcombebabe · 04/12/2019 09:57

😂😂😂 Oooh! Do enjoy it while you can AlternativePerspective! I asked one question too many and he went from caring to horrendous! I did so enjoy toying with him then blocking him 😂

churchandstate · 04/12/2019 09:57

😂 Absolutely my kind of chap.

FlaviaAlbia · 04/12/2019 10:03

He could see into your soul though Farmville* to know you were the woman for him he surely must be CIA and completely legit Xmas Grin

  • Possibly, I can't see into your soul Sad
Elieza · 04/12/2019 10:04

So that probably means he’s a lonely British person that prob lives just down the road from you. Perhaps unemployed looking for a lonely rich widow he can shack up with, marry, take all her money, divorce.....

Yeah. Sounds great.

I hope you told him you are employed by the British government on covert operations to infiltrate some plot to bump off trump but you can’t talk about it to anyone except him. And since you are both is the USA just now how about lunch. You’ll recognise each other on account of your meeting on a park bench wearing an overcoat and carrying a briefcase and carrying a rolled up newspaper ...Xmas Grin

Must be something in the air! I had a random text about a £25 million inheritence! All I have to do is email them details...such as my name.

Interesting that someone would specifiy an inheritence to go to a mobile number!

Gardai · 04/12/2019 10:08

Awesome, I second transferring your life savings and sending duplicate car and house keys hun xx

filka · 04/12/2019 10:11

AYBU? I'm afraid I can't give you that information...

TopOftheNaughtyList · 04/12/2019 10:14

Blimey, if he shared all that with you on your first chat then you should ask him to reconsider his career choice LOL!

Oysterbabe · 04/12/2019 10:15

Haha!
I'd love to see what he actually looks like.

Bluerussian · 04/12/2019 10:16

Do meet him but make sure it is in a public place and be accompanied by a chaperone, your mum would do if she has a good heavy handbag. Take a walking stick with you and limp.

Please tell us how you get on.

BarbaraStrozzi · 04/12/2019 10:17

Awesome. He's clearly totally on the level and not at all an unemployed (and unemployable) Walter Mitty sitting at his computer in a string vest. Definitely totally safe to share your life savings with.

(It would be fun to string him along a bit.)

bongsuhan · 04/12/2019 10:19

You may want to watch True Lies first :)
