My internet dating experience is one full of lies and deceiving. I met the girl through a popular website called '____.' It was a website where you would rank people on their looks, and you had the option to contact them. To contact them you could make simple gestures which they referred to as "Flirts". After a couple flirts you had the option make contact with the person. I started "flirting" with a person who I found very attractive. In the picture she was about medium height, and skinny. I thought this girl was very pretty. After we exchanged e-mail's and IM's for awhile, we decided to talk on the phone. We spend the next couple weeks talking for 3-5 hours a night on the phone. We talked about how people would sometimes misrepresent themselves on the internet with false details and inaccurate pictures. She resassured me that the picture she sent was a picture of her and that it was current. After a couple of weeks of talking we decided to meet. She lived almost 4 hours away from where I was, but  I was willing to make the drive. I was willing to make the drive because I had made a real connection with this person, and was really interested in meeting her face to face.  It was a Friday morning when I had decided to drive up there for the weekend. I drove for 4 hours till I finally got to her house. I was very excited at this point. I got to her house and headed to the door. When she opened the door, I thought maybe I was at the wrong house. I was taken back about how much she had lied and completely misrepresented herself to me. She had lied about how she looked. She was completely different then the pictures she had sent me. She was completely different, nothing like the photos!. After driving for 4 hours, I was pretty upset. I confronted her about the picture, and she said it was her, but it was a picture of her taken almost 4 years ago. She said she lied because she did not think people would be interested in her if she showed her own photo. She thought that I would be able to look past the lies and that we had made a connection. I told her that I had made a connection with whom I thought she was, and not the person she really turned out to be. Because she lied. I am not one that is all about looks at all, don't get me wrong, what bothered me is I opened up to her, and she couldn't tell me the truth? How can you get to know someone when you are lying to them? How can someone learn to trust you when you lie about something right from the beginning? If she would have told me her pictures were not of her before I met her, i would have understood, but she took it to the extreme. She ruined it by lying before it could even begin!
