Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: A while ago, I went through a traumatic experience in my life and was very depressed. I read online about a celebrity who was going through the same experience. Through different social media channels, I began communicating with this person.
I then realized I was not speaking to who I thought I was, but to someone posing as this person. An online scammer. They usually reel you in and then start asking for money, and sure enough, he asked me about contributing to his personal charity. I told him I wasn’t interested, and that was the end of it. He never brought it up again.
Should I just come out and say that I know he is not that person? Or should I stop talking to him completely? I would really miss talking to him, and I have developed strong feelings for him.: Far be it for Miss Manners to discourage a love match, but it seems to her that this “relationship” is anything but that. Do you really want to start a love affair with a lie and/or an accusation?
This has worked fine up until a few years ago. My niece and her husband bring containers from home to fill with leftovers, even loading their plates with more than they could possibly eat so that that food can be taken home, too.
