I just heard the story of a woman who met a man online and they fell in love on the telephone. They started a long distance relationship, and corresponded via email with shared photos, talking about their values, dreams, and life experiences.The gentleman, “Mark” event went as far as financially supporting the woman for some time. Finally the day came for the two to meet face-to-face, but “Mark” kept canceling the date.Eventually, they had their first in person date, where “Mark” arrived, and was actually “Mary” not really “Mark.” This female had been impersonating a male the entire time, and when she finally showed her real face the truth came out.Fortunately for “Mary” the woman she had been courting had a good sense of humor about it and they have remained friends to this day.
