I don't think i would be able to bare the pain...messaging someone you think is a possible partner and they end up being someone else. How did you cope?

This is why I don't agree with online relationships.
How long did you catfish the person for? I used to do it on omegle but obviously that would end when the chat finished. Back then I kind of wished I was a boy so I'd try and see if I could pass for one. Bit weird when I think about it now though.

Idk about 2 days to a week and ive done it multiple times. It was like 2 yrs ago tho. Id never do it again. Boys are much easier to catfish tbh. So if you did try as a boy, it wouldnt last cos girls know better

Nope! That's why I watch the tv show lol when it comes to online dating, you must must just speak on the phone, know it's the person, video chat and what not
I've never been* catfished (not that I know of, At least) but I can imagine how heartbreaking and humiliating it must be. Trusting someone only to find out later that they're not exactly who they say they are must be a really painful experience.

How to cope?
1 by realising that online relationships mean nothing till you've actually physically met and spent time with the person.
2 by realising that even if the person is not catfishing, that you are only getting a highly filtered version of the person. That people's self-image may be very different to what they actually are.
3 Profile photos. You will almost never been able to recognise anyone the first time you meet them from their profile photos. The only way you'll known it is them will be by meeting at a highly specific location - like within 2 metres. Assuming you're sensible and arrange to meet at a busy public location.
4 Not taking your life too seriously. Laugh at set-backs like being catfished.
5 Treating online dating like the sales game that it is. In this case you're selling yourself as a boyfriend / girlfriend / husband / wife. In most sales jobs you get more failures than successes. But it's the successes that make it all worthwhile.
