Looking different in pics?

Whisper
Have you ever met someone in real life after talking online and they say you look totally different in person? I have been wirh my boyfriend for 6 mon now and we met on a dating site and texted for a few weeks before meeting and he said our first meeting I looked different for some reason. I didnt know if that was a compliment or not. Im not ugly and he always sags im pretty so maybe he meant it in a good way. What do you think? Have you had this experience?
