Oopsy-Daisy: “Okay, I have my first confession for The Overcast: I am recently single. I have never online dated. It weirds me out, there’s something sterile or deliberate, or awkward, or unnatural about it. Anyway. I got lonely I guess, and I thought the best way to test the waters of online dating, and sort of check it out — like how it works and how men behave on there and stuff — was to create a fake profile. I didn’t use my real name, or even my real face (I used some photo off a Google search for ‘okay looking woman in her late 20s.’) Anyway, after a few scary online interactions (men are weird! please consult your lady friends on your choice in profile pics, for god’s sakes!), I started talking with this really, really amazing guy. A total babe, really funny, smart as a ship, and knows how to make a gal feel special. But here’s the thing. He’s started complimenting physical attributes of the fake face I TOTALLY FORGOT I had been using. He is all about those green eyes, but mine are brown, man, brown as dirt, and while you have a “thing for a woman in a bun,” my hair is too short for that shit. Now what? I fear my winning personality has made him fall in love with a fake face and it’d be too weird to show him my real face, since he has taken to this one! He wants her now, not me. This is sooo weird!”

The only moral option you have is to come clean and hope he’s a forgiving person. There’s a good chance he won’t because that’s a shitty thing to do to a person but who knows? Maybe you’ll luck out. A little advice though if it doesn’t work out and you do decide to wade into the pool of online dating again: Use a generic cartoon or non-person avatar or leave your picture blank if you don’t want to use your own picture. You won’t be getting as many messages but at least you won’t be cat-fishing people or misusing someone else’s pictures.
