Catfish smh

How pathetic does one have to be to claim a man or woman in a relationship for 5yrs, having never met the person and not even knowing what they look like? I mean, I get falling for a few weeks, months even but to spend years trying to meet someone and being blown off every which way, no phone calls, no face time, not even a real name. You're in love with a cartoon dog and a screen name, then you're so broken up and surprised to discover they're not who they say they are, smh. I'm beginning to think people are now doing this for the airtime. Now, the person doing the catfishing is a sad human being, who hides behind a screen because he or she lacks the skills needed to have face to face conversations, just pitiful. Maybe I'm built differently but I won't fall for that shit, I'll give you 2 weeks (that's being generous) to give me a real name, real info and within a month, we better start working out a meeting. If you happen to live in another city or state or country...it's not even gonna get that far. Makes me wonder, what would happen to these people if the internet crashed smdh
