writes: Ok this isn't a serious problem but I would just like some thoughts. About two months ago I met this guy on the internet. We became really close. We would send pics of ourselves to eachother etc..and just talk about things we did that day. Well one day he sent me a "shirtless pic". (This is not like me at all but he is soo fine!) He said he was so embarrassed to take it and he hopes he never would have to look at it again, cause it embarrasses him. Well yesterday I was online and I happened to come across the pics he sent me! Right there for anyone to see! They were on a "myspace" type of thing. I read the profile he had written it was like a whole different guy!I was really upset! I think I have been played and I know I do need to get a life. Am I just being too weird over this?

 Ok...maybe...but a few things really quick.
You have only known him two months....maybe it was up before you met.
if he's Realllly hot someone may have pirated His pic so he could get pics of other women who are younger etc...people lie on internet and anyone can be anyone....really old guys just love chatting with little young things who are willing to send naughty pics to a guy they think is hot.
With that said...he may also have this extra persona simply to be in chat rooms without anyone being able to show up at his house after a 15 min conversation....fake name and location means there is no PHONE with address that can be searched easily.
There are several legitimate reasons to have a pic of yourself and another name...maybe Mom would not approve of him haveing a half naked pic on internet.
It does not mean that they are doing anything other than protecting themselves. If you are concerned Ask him...if the reason does not Fly...then you can....
PS...I do not look like my agony aunt picture....

If you haven't met this guy in person, he may not be the guy in the picture at all, and his name may not be either of the names you have found so far. That is both the blessing and curse of the internet. Confront him about the lies, and then decide whether you want to continue your cybernetic relationship with him. You have a right to be hurt, but you are not the first, nor will you be the last. Some people, men and women, use the internet to take advantage of people. When you find them out, drop them.
