a 33-year-old overnight gas station attendant in Bridgeport, Connecticut, doesnt want to look past his online friend with benefits.
He says he first met his online girlfriend on GameFAQs, a video gaming website that hosts message boards, when he was 13 or 14.
They play video games together and message each other all day long (he told me he sent her a hug emoji during our interview).
She has been more than willing to be very close and intimate with me online, he said. So any sexual urge Ive had has been handled by that.
Theres just one problem: theyve never met in person or spoken on the phone. He said she cant because shes mute.
Im pretty convinced its a lie, he admitted.
But at the same time, if I challenge her on it, whats going to happen? Im going to find out the one person Ive been close friends with for decades now is a guy?
I dont want to say I already know that, cause I dont.
He stumbles to find the right words.
Id just be losing a close friend, and I dont want to risk that.
PSA article mentions it. But I omitted his name, and suggest yall do the same when discussing the article.
