“About seven years ago, I catfished my then-boyfriend because I had a hunch he was cheating on me. I’d caught him chatting online with other women a couple of times already, sexting, begging for nudes, trying to get them to come over, etc. He cried and groveled each time I caught him — it was just chatting, he wasn’t actually gonna do anything, he’ll never do it again, blah blah blah. I didn’t catch him again for a while, but I just had that feelingyou know? I should have just dumped him after the first offense, I know, but I was a lot more naive in my 20s. I made a fake profile with some random hot girl’s pictures, named myself Ashley Adams, and made up a backstory that included cheerleading and nude modeling.”

“The profile was comically fake, but I knew he’d fall for it because tits were involved. I friended him and waited for him to send the first chat. I didn’t have to wait long, either. As soon as he popped online, he took the bait. ‘Hey sexy, wanna chat?’ Why yes, ‘Ashley’ would love to chat! He asked me for nudes, asked me where I lived, and was happy to hear that I only lived one town over and could be there in half an hour. I agreed to come over, he gave me his address, and told me to just come right in and jump on him. Oh, that motherfucker…I knew it.

I waited about 15 minutes before heading over to his apartment. I went right in like he requested, and I saw his expression change from excitement to ‘oh shit’ when he saw me walk in instead of Ashley. I could tell he was trying hard to come up with a reason why I couldn’t stay, but I made myself right at home. I just sat there watching him squirm and glance nervously at the front door every time he heard a noise. He must have been terrified, expecting Ashley to show up any minute while his girlfriend was cuddled up right there next to him. I hung out for several hours just relishing in his discomfort, and then left him with blue balls after he realized Ashley wasn’t gonna show. He tried to get frisky with me, but I said, ‘Sorry, babe, I’m suddenly not feeling very well!’ I dumped him a few days later. I gotta say, catfishing him was actually pretty fun.”
