I have this Internet friend and he is amazing. Well over the weekend I told him some crap I lied to him about. Like I didn't tell him my real age etc. But once we became good friends I felt bad so I told him the truth. He even states he liked me and I liked him. But ever since then he isn't talking to me very much and if he does our conversations aren't very lively and awesome like they use to be. I really want to get back to the good old times before I gave him the dirt about me. How can I do that? He says he's not mad at me and it was great of me to be honest but I think he is hurt by it. But it could just be me! Can you girls give me advice?! Thank you

Imagine yourself in his place. Naturally you would be hurt, upset and wondering what else your friend lied about. You can't go back to the good times. The only thing you can do is be honest with him from now on, and give him time and space to process the information and the hurt. The rest is up to him. The fact that he is still talking to you is a good sign that things may get better again eventually. But you can't force it.

Yeah Im thinking about not talking to him for a week to give him some room. I just feel bad because he has had many heart breaks and I didn't want to be apart of that collection. But hopefully like you said it might get better eventually. Thanks.

Does the real age change your legal status?

what do you mean by legal status? By being able to date him because of age? Then no it wont. The account that I had was my friends and she put she was 19 so I had to go along with that. He isnt that much older than me.

+1. This is probably your best course of action. Give him a little time and space, and then don't lie to him again.

so you're at least 18? The reason I ask, b/c in this day and age it is unwise for a man to "chat" with underage girls, no matter if he's only a few years older. Also, are you out of high school? (19, for the most part means out of school. 18, not always.)

Oh wait. Are you OLDER than you said?

Yes im 18.

I seen your one post before you edited it. You seemed to indicate that you were underage. Before you responded to trenell's post I searched your post history looking for clues to your age, and in one you say you're 14.

So which is it, 14 or 18?

People don't usually get upset over lying about just 1 year. If you're underage, then adult men don't usually like being friends with underage girls. It can be very bad news for them.

curly_stars

I'm 18 I didn't know what she meant by legal status. He is about to turn 20. In some places I think that 18 is still considered under age. I just turned 18.

curly_stars

p.s I share my curly account with my younger sister. That's why the 14 came up. She gets on a here a bit more than me.

luvmylocs

if you are under 18 you should stop talking to him. you could get him in trouble and that's not fair because of lies. is your age the only thing you lied about and have now come clean about or is there more?

Then why did you say you were 14 in another thread?

newcurly

It seems like you cause confusion everywhere by sharing accounts with people. Probably best to stop this practice.

no it was just my age.

It said I was 14 because I share this account, my little sister gets on or hair advice alot more than I do.

curly_stars

Yeah I know! I noticed that! I hate spam mail from sites I join so I usually try to borrow a friends account or use and old one. I think I'll just let my sister have this and get another one.

geeky

That sounds kinda shady to me. If it is really true, then sharing an account is a terrible idea. No one will know which person is really posting. Get your own account, they are free.

If you are really 14, then you should stop communicating with this guy. You will get him in trouble with the law. And you will eventually get yourself into big trouble with a guy who is not so nice.

Why would you lie about 1 year?

On wait, I see you said you were using your friend's account. Why didn't you just tell him upfront if it was nothing? Why continue the lie?

curly_stars

I didn't think it was a big deal about 1 year because I will be 19 soon anyways. I didn't want to confuse him at the beggining so I waited to tell him. Then I came to my senses he would surely want to know how it's possible to repeat the age 19 and not go on to 20 when my b day came around.

@Geeky
If I create my own account is it possible to minimize spam/junk mail? I hate having to dig through junk mail just to find an email from a friend or relative.
