I often use completely different personas on online dating sites figuring I’ll never meet them again or it’ll only be a brief thing. There was a period where I told girls my name was X and that I went to Harvard. We had a summer fling and then ended up staying in contact on and off for years, and we still contact each other if we visited each other’s states. To this day she still believes I went to Harvard despite just going to a state school. It’s been so long I’m honestly afraid to talk about it now. She often tells me stories about how she tells people she knows someone from Harvard and inside it feels like I just robbed a store.
