Woman may have caught online 'catfish'

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Dear Amy: I have recently started dating again after 10 years.

I met this guy five years ago on an online video game. He has suddenly gotten in touch with me after five years, and has confessed that he's been in love with me the whole time.

I was shocked. I have never been the one to clue in when someone likes me. We have started Skyping and have become very close over the last month.

Things got serious very fast, and I feel I have fallen for him.

I am in Canada and he is in the U.S., but we have talked about visiting each other. He said he'd move to Canada to be with me.

He sent me a text of a painting he had done for me, it was beautiful.

 

I don't know why I did this, but I Googled the image, and came up with another artist's Facebook page. The painting was listed as hers.

When I asked him about this, he said she was an old school friend of his, and he didn't know why she would post his painting on her site.

She's got many paintings similar to this style, so it's obviously hers. I messaged her, and she said she had no idea who he was.

Is this a big enough red flag to worry over?
