Thought my guy friend was different until I found his anonymous account online
Pata hai aaj kya hua so
23F here.Met a guy online months ago, we became really close friends, exchanged contacts, talked daily, helped each other with studies etc. We used to roast each other a lot but still genuinely cared about each other. He wasn’t the sweet talker type, but he’d do thoughtful things and send sweet texts in his own way without sounding overly romantic. I slowly started liking him because he seemed very genuine and respectful.
He used to say things like:
- he’s very honest/blunt
- he’s not like guys who sweet talk girls just for sex
- he barely watches porn/masturbates
- he doesn’t flirt much
Whenever I flirted he would usually shut it down. His way of caring was more through actions like helping me, ordering food for me, checking on me etc. We were even planning a trip together.
Recently I made a new account on the same app where we first met. I recognized his profile pic there and texted him anonymously out of curiosity. He had no idea it was me.
And he acted COMPLETELY different. Very sexual, asking for nudes, sending explicit pics, talking in ways he never talks to me. Now I feel genuinely shocked because the image I had of him kinda cracked.
Men honestly is this normal? Does this mean he’s fake/manipulative or is this just a side guys don’t show female friends?
Also what would you do in my situation? Should I tell him it was me or just never bring it up? He shared very private stuff and I feel like it would deeply embarrass him, but if I don’t tell him I also feel awkward continuing normally. And now idk if I should even go on that trip anymore. (Used ChatGPT to organize my thoughts properly because my brain is genuinely all over the place rn)
