What are the odds on him being catfished? Why does he keep bringing up his girlfriend?! I mean, it's so stupid. For one, to talk about her at all, but then not only that but to say she's "been" a secret (she was your girlfriend in your mind from the second she even reciprocated anything, I bet), but you want to keep her out of your streams, and only in your personal life, but then constantly parade her existence around like a fucking badge.
But the thing is, Ive read stories of dudes, desperate dudes, getting catfished in the worst way, they fly out to wherever, and they get mugged and left for dead--either by random dudes who made the whole thing up, or friends of the girl, and she's in on it; there are a lot of ways it can go bad. Like, in that scenario, the nicest catfish is one where the person just doesnt show up.
Thanks for the life lessons about travel plans, by the way. I'll be sure to double check the bus schedule before I end up braindead at the wrong stop or something, next time I take public transport.
