What's your 'I finally met my online friend' horror story?

I met this girl when I was 12 on Omegle. We were both 12 at the time and we continued talking over different platforms for a long time and became really good friends. We always wanted to meet up but I was too chicken to meet with her and always made excuses.

When I was 20, she told me she was driving down to Toronto herself to come and see me because she couldn't wait any longer. We spent 3 days together, sex was amazing, and I actually really liked her. Everything seemed perfect and I was actually considering getting into a long distance relationship with her because we'd only been friends up until that point and even though she had insisted on a LDR in the past, I did not want to be tied up with someone I had never met in person before. Plus, I was in a relationship with someone else (but we were on a break/broken up at the time I met this woman).

She called me a day after she left and told me she had to come clean. Told me that the guy she always called her best friend whenever we talked was actually her boyfriend and that she had got with him when she was 18 after she realized her and I weren't going to work out. She said she was sorry and really liked me as a person but her bf was closer. She asked me not to tell anyone about what happened between us because it would ruin her relationship (At this point, I knew a lot of her closest irl female friends and I spoke to them too and none of them ever brought up her having a bf so I was like wtf).

We talked for a few more days and then she suddenly completely ghosted me. Removed and blocked me on all social media.

I was sort of hurt because of how things ended and because of the fact, I spent about $600 on food and stuff the days she was here and for a broke new adult, that's a lot. I didn't even care about being in a relationship with her because I got back with my ex a few months later. I just liked her as a friend and we were so similar.
