I miss someone i met on reddit
In 2025, I (F33) met someone here on Reddit. Our interaction started casually, with flirting and sexual conversations, after a post he (M28) made about a person he was involved with. But as we kept talking, I realized we had a lot in common.
We started talking every day. Little by little, I shared details about my life, my thoughts, and the way I see the world. Over time, I realized how much I enjoyed talking to him.
At one point, after exchanging photos, I thought he might be using someone else’s pictures. To prove he was real, he suggested a Discord call. It was the first time I saw his face. I was already very attracted to him, but seeing and talking to him only deepened my feelings and desire.
I stepped away for a while, but not for long. Later, he distanced himself for personal reasons and because he felt our interaction was affecting his feelings and his relationship. After three months, we started talking again.
I wanted to meet him in person, even though we both knew nothing would probably come from it. We were always realistic: liking someone online does not guarantee a real-life connection, and neither of us believed in long-distance relationships. On top of that, he lived more than 1,000 km away, in another state. Even so, I wanted to know him, to allow myself that experience, even if it lasted only a moment.
The last time we spoke, I offered him my phone number because we could lose contact—we only talked through Discord and didn’t even know each other’s full names. He refused, saying that at that moment he couldn’t have my contact information.
At some point, I discovered that he had blocked me on Instagram and Spotify, and through that I learned a few details about his life. I confronted him, asking if he was married. He denied it and said he was not married, but that he was in a relationship with the person from the Reddit post where we first met.
However, months earlier, he had written a post saying that this person had rejected his request to be in a relationship and that he regretted continuing with her instead of trying something with me.
He denied being married, denied blocking me, denied knowing my real name, and denied knowing my Spotify account.
I didn’t believe him. I was hurt, and in the end we said goodbye. The conversation faded away. After some time, he deleted all the photos he had sent me, and later he deleted his Discord account. I no longer have any way to contact him.
Even after feeling deceived and disappointed, I still miss him.
I have met other people, gone on dates, and continued living my life, but he remains in my memories. I listen to the songs we shared, and I remember our conversations and exchanges.
I haven’t fallen in love in a long time, and what I felt for him is the closest thing to passion that I have experienced in years. I go out with other people, but I feel nothing. I don’t feel what I felt for him.
I just hope that one day I can forget him.
\*\*TL;DR;\*\* : I met someone on Reddit, developed strong feelings for him, and eventually discovered he had lied to me about parts of his life. We lost contact, but despite the deception, I still miss him and haven’t felt the same connection with anyone else.
