Ever wished the things you saw in movies happened in real life? The charming man you never expected to meet suddenly appears and you can't help but begin to love how he makes you feel.
Sadly this real life romcom turned out to be nothing but disappointment.
"We matched on Bumble in the summer. It was shortly after a break up for me and truthfully, I was looking for some fun, a distraction even. I made sure to put that on my profile.
We messaged for a few days and he seemed so sweet and respectful. He wanted to get to know me so he would offer to bring me lunch. Even on the hard days, he listened to me talk and he was there if I needed a shoulder to cry on.
I was moving and to my surprise, he offered to help. When I shared I had left some things with my ex, small things, he showed up with them - oven mitts, dish towels, that kind of stuff. Small, but appreciated gestures.
Again, to my surprise, he sat with me and trimmed flowers, made bouquets, cooked with me. Everything he did was unexpected and unprompted.
In person, he was great. When we were apart, his communication was very inconsistent. I didn't mind too much as I had no desire to start a relationship with him.
He told me he was a single parent so nights and weekends would be hard. I was okay with that, and I felt a bit sorry when he shared the only help he had was his mom
I hadn't heard from him in a few weeks when he suddenly reached out after Helene. He had this elaborate story about him taking care of his son alone while having no power, electricity and internet for weeks. Now I know he was really in Myrtle Beach with another woman.
I stumbled across his wife's facebook when she came up as a suggested friend. Of course I had to confront him.
He sent me this long voice note with another elaborate story updating me about his divorce.
I was starting to get some weird feeling about him so I cut it off. I'm glad I did.
I was shocked and appalled to learn all his lies."
