To want to have a relationship with this man?

[AlternativePerspective]

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?

I love this!!! Thank you for brightening my day.

Go for it.
Fall head over heels in love.
I think Father Christmas came early to you!!

Let us know everything he says...
This is why men get such a hard time isn't it?

I was on a dating app a few years ago - the stories you get, gushing about you - yuck!!
Haha. I met my now DP nearly 3 years ago, we messaged for an hour, he rang me, picked me up and whisked me off for copious amounts of red wine!
Oh the looks we get when we tell that story.
Amazing :)

Is it scrabble?

Can you tell him you are a russian on super secret business, all the other players are leaders of other countries and by shooting (or doing whatever) he has tacitly agreed to marry XXX son?
Which is such a shame as you were interested in him.
Alternatively tell him you are a Nigerian Princess and if he is willing to deposit £30k into an account, it will free up $1billion which you will share 50:50 with him.

Has he got a friend? 😊

@rattusrattus20 how do you do a reverse google image search pls?

Amazing he is definitely the one for you! I also have had some amazing luck recently- i was informed via email that I have jointly inherited some money which is sitting in the Bank of Ghana. Planning that shopping spree already!

OP you are being incredibly selfish in not keeping us all immediately updated. Shame on you.

Also loving the people who are posting Come on, give your head a wobble!!!

Maybe he’s at OP’s house for some romance...oh I’m excited for you, how dreamy hun xx

he even has a red flag !

I'm confused now. I thought he was CIA, not KGB.

Just out of curiosity, what time was it here when he was online there and do you know what time it was supposed to be over there OP?

It’s dice world. Is words with friends still around?

He’s gone quiet, no doubt off on secret business, and I just can’t wait to hear from him later.

Well he’s from California so an eight hour time difference, except he tells me he’s currently in Derby on his top secret business. Who knew.

But having sent me a message at something like 3:30 this morning I’d hazard a guess that California is a better bet,or he’s just staying on American time to avoid jetlag.

I did ask what he was doing up at that hour and he replied “you’re so wonderful for caring.”

TBH it’s a bloody good job I’m not having these conversations face to face or I’d have given myself away on the second message.

Make sure you send him money. He maybe has hospital bills or will need money for a ticket to see you.

He sounds perfect. Arrange a meeting straight away...or if he’s busy just help him with money. He’s bound to need some

Ooh fabulous.

Yes, do please agree to an online relationship with him, and report back.

We can do a sweepstake on how long until he asks for money. I'll go for 9 days.

@BarbaraStrozzi , sorry I derailed the thread slightly. The red flag was in reference to the photo link that rattus supplied .

I'm approaching the sweepstake differently and going for three more messages before his ability with the English language and spelling degenerates completely!

💗💗💗 is in the air. And Derby is the new Paris donchyaknow? So romantic, can’t wait to find out about your upcoming engagement even if you do have to send him some money to buy the ring 😂

@lightandairy56 - if it's a picture in a [certainly Chrome, not sure about others] browser you can right click on it & it's an option, Google will do it for you.

In terms of a picture on your laptop, maybe google does it, i'm not sure, if not there are sites like tineye.com/.

the tech isn't super clever, e.g. if a full body shot of someone is online & a person crops that picture so just the head & shoulders is visible, i don't think an image search will turn it up.

for that particular picture it was easy for me to find - i think i just googled 'attractive man kilt' & there he was, on about the third or fourth row of results. he's a German personal trainer or suchlike.

- and not* a scotsman playing words with friends.

I really want an American spy boyfriend.... all I ever get is requests like " send vaginey and Bobs plz" . But I don't know anybody called Vaginey and bob said he didn't want to go.

Not fair! I am so jealous. All I get is beautiful Russian women who can feel a real connection with me (though not somehow enough to realise I'm not male) and want to be my soulmate,

Cant wait to buy my hat for this wedding. Can I be a bridesmaid - I know we haven't met, yet but it's the way forward.

Derby? That infamous CIA hang out

Sounds like a match made in heaven 💏
