Hi dear community,
I've been using a Fake Profile on a dating website and occasionally chatted with a guy, let's call him Vincent.
Since he already had a girlfriend, we decided to have friendship-like-chatting with no higher aim than a friendship. That was two years ago and we were writting for two years, but it was not continuous, we wrote each other every 2-3 months during these two years. He said he liked my personality very much and he admired my creativity. He stopped writing to me, probably because I was hesitant to meet him in real life.
My beauty currently is a 6,5 out of 10 and my fake profile was a 8 out of 10. The guy itself was a 8/10, but now his beauty has fallen to about 7 of 10. So yes, my fake profile gave an inaccurate impression of me.
I liked him and continue to like Vincent and I thought many times before about confessing to him that my profile was fake. But I didn't do it.
I think that I should rather trust "collective swarm intelligence" of this community than my own feelings because you, you together as a whole are making more rational actions than I could ever do.
I thought about making a new profile, a more real one with real pics of me, and writing to him again and start a new relationship with him from scratch.
Alternatively, I may confess to him that I was fake and present the real me. In this case, I don't know what his reaction will be exactly like, what do you think it will be most likely like? Surely he will be shocked in a negative way.
There is a second alternative: I could claim the pictures were very old and present my new pics without telling that the old ones were fake. But this is very risky. He could think that they were fake afterwards. I never submitted a pic of my face. Just distant full body pics. I chose a fake profile that has ismilair body shape to mine.
What do you think that I should do?
Should I confess my fake profile?
Or should I make a real, new profile of me?
I am scared that in this case he might not react or fastly lose interest and then I don't know what I should do then.
