Giving someone you've never met the benefit of the doubt at so many stages just shows how good of a person you are more than anything. And I feel for you bro, I know how it is. 👊
+Axel Grassi-Havnen It saddens me that people do this type of shit, And if it had of happened to someone else that isn't as mentally strong as you, it couldn't have ended well ay. Stay safe tho dud.
That's honestly heart breaking. You seem like such a nice and genuine guy. The fact that anyone could put another person through what you went through is horrible. All the chances you gave and the person just continued to lie. It always happens to the nicest of people. Much love Axel! x
Axel Grassi-Havnen This is random but you replying actually just made my day a million times better made me smile!! love the videos always something interesting. Much love! X
You're an outstanding young man. God bless you. You gave this girl the benefit of the doubt and she still couldn't give you the ounce of respect to meet up with you and explain herself and give you your colosure and apology. You handled the situation with such class. Bravo!
this is the first catfish story from a guy that i have seen yet, just getting into them, as it happened to me a long time ago and i felt stupid, like god no one else has had this happen to them surely, but iv found hundreds of stories and it just sorta helps knowing that im not alone in this, and how much it can effect you
Im so sorry that happened to you, you're such a kind and genuine guy so im sorry this person took advantage of you. I've had my fair share of shitty people so i have much respect to you for being able to share this because i personally know it takes a lot. So much respect to you, keep your head up ❤️
No need to apologise! But I appreciate that you think that about me. It's so shit, I honestly don't get how some people have the audacity to do what they do! No worries, glad I managed to get it off my chest despite it taking some courage to say the least, will do, hope you're well!
Yeah it's exactly how you said so shite, you'll never know why someone could do this, but its good that you were able to share this, im doing okay thank you 😊
Bless your heart! I hate that you’ve gone thru this. I had no idea how much this happens until recently running across a random video of a young girl who had been catfished for almost 2 years by a girl at her school. I can’t understand how someone could go to such lengths to make so many lies up. You have a good heart that’s why she was able to do this to you. Don’t let her make you throw a wall up. You should definitely be cautious but don’t let her issues become issues for you. There are many reasons that someone may do something like that but none that are worth you carrying the weight of her burden too. You deserve so much better and I hope it happens sooner than later.
Mate your one in a million to do all that for someone and all along your being played and messed around.Youve just shown all your subs what a genuine lad you really are.Sorry to hear this.Chin up.😊
I am so sorry this happened to you. It’s not fair that people do this!! I’d think if they just wanted to talk to someone it wouldn’t need to be such theatrics. So it’s unfortunate and I can’t wrap my brain around pathological liars. You seem like such a sweetheart and I’m so sorry she led you down that frustrating path of deception.
Kellie Collins Thank you for your kind words! it’s a massive shame that people have the mental capacity to be able to hurt others in such a way and when ones trust is taken for granted, it’s even more painful! :/
This is heartbreaking, I am so sorry this happened to you. You seem like a genuine person, who is very empathetic. Even when you knew she was a catfish, you still wanted to give her a chance. Sending mad positivity from South Africa, Holmes!
Some people in the world have no idea what they can do to others they just think for themselves.. I'm sorry that this has happened.. your viewers are here for you.. hopefully you can trust again 😚
I am so sorry this happened to you. You don't deserve it. I have been messed about by people before and it's horrible, I don't understand some people. You're a lovely, down to earth guy and always remember that.x
Tbh you seem like a sweetheart and a genuine soul and didn't deserve to be played with you're feelings in that way. In all, you deserve the world and I hope you find a girl that will treat you well and love you for you
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm very sorry you had to go through this. If I had to guess, I would think it would have most likely been one of the uni students that stayed in that house previously. No one outside of other people living on that street would be that familiar with all of the people who lived there so as to give you such accurate descriptions, as well as the dog. I don't know you but it's easy to see what a compassionate, caring, kind person you are just in how you handled this situation. I'm glad you finally had a breaking point so as to say enough is enough; some people let their emotions win every time and keep forgiving them because they are so "in love" and they only fall harder and hurt deeper when the truth comes out. The truth ALWAYS comes out.
Lauren Kristen M I’m still thinking the same to be honest. It had to have been someone who stayed in that house in the past, at least to know the details of the dog and everything else! Thank you very much for your support and kind words. It’s a shame that people like that exist out there and my trust got taken for granted but now I have the most amazing girlfriend and I’m very grateful for that! ❤️ I really appreciate your comment! :)
I was so captivated by this story time, probably one of the best I've seen on TH-cam. I don't think I've ever written a comment before but I just am amazed by your devotion to this person, don't let them change how you act towards people you talk to online. I'm sure we have all had bad experiences obviously in varying degrees. Thank you for sharing best of luck in the future with meeting people :)
Wow, thank you so much for the support, means a lot that you've chosen to use your first comment on this video! I'll try not to let it affect me too bad, I think I'll be able to move on for the best! No worries, I'm really glad I got this off my chest and out to you guys! :) All the best to you too!
That sucks dude, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I have a hard time trusting people too, so I understand. I pray things get better for you in the future. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow, what a story, Axel! I was glued to my seat in anticipation! You handled yourself amazingly well all the way through those 4 months. What a gentleman you are. Can't imagine how frustrated you must have been. You so didn't deserve that vile treatment and I hope she has watched this video and feels really guilty about what she has done. I'm sorry but what a nasty piece of work she is. I hope bad karma pays her back one day 😡 And I hope you get over it soon. Must say though, your mum was so amazingly supportive all the way through. Good on ya Amalia! Best wishes to you, Axel x
There were so many details to it, had to skip a fair few as well but thank you, I'm glad you think so. Hopefully she'll reflect on what she's done in time! My Mum was definitely supportive! Best wishes to you too! :) x
Met people online myself, one of which I ended up in a relationship with for a year. We skyped so I knew what to expect but he still lied about a lot of things. I think people are never really sure whether it will go that far and so telling a few lies doesnt seem so harmful. Happy hunting in the future though! :D
Honesty is honestly everyone's best friend, I don't see what people gain by lying, they make it so much worse for themselves and make the overall situation a lot harder. Telling the truth no matter how hard it is, is the best thing to do! Thank you aha! :)
This is awesome for you to share this dude. I've personally never been catfished, but I have a sort of "feeble" personality wherenI tend to get overly involved in a relationship or might get led on by someone with the wrong ideas. So I have to really watch who I try to meet.
Searching For Myself For sure man! I’ve learned my lesson now and am more weary and cautious toward people and everything to a certain degree. You gotta be careful, it’s so sad that evil people exist.
Thanks for sharing your story - it sucks that this happened to you but the right person is out there for you. You seem like a lovely guy and I'm sure you will find someone supportive and ambitious who is also genuine. All the best to you.
You are truly an amazing and beautiful person you definitely do not deserve something like this, you are so so nice man, it must've taken a lot of courage to put something like this out there. But you're amazing and I have so much love and respect for you. ❤
just watched this vid and I hope your okay I have depression and it's no joke I hope she comes and see you to explain her self you are truly a nice guy and any gal will be lucky to have a guy like you u are a good TH-camr one of the realist I've only been subbed a week or two and u can just see ur genuin keep ya chin up love bro
I genuinely don't understand how people can do this!, please don't let it dampen your spirits, new sub here ✋🏼 saw you on the tgf channel and had to come and be nosey 😆❤️
Neither do I, I cannot get my head around it, what so ever! I'll try not to let it get to me too much but thank you for stopping over and subscribing, I appreciate it! Hope you're well!
bro major respect for letting us know, I came home from work (fish and chip shop) munched on my food, just focus on TH-cam and you yourself man, keep up the good content good luck
Just viewing your video now though your experience happened a bit ago. I too have been there but affected me financially hard. I know of the lie after lie and excuse with such convincing excuses after. Mentally it hurts and we loose trust. It breaks us a down chipping away at our belief and hopes in possibilities of of a “WOW”, “where have you been”, “we connect “ etc. etc. We continue, though we know, deep down, it’s all false. But.... it can’t be true. Naive to the thought...we give benefits to our doubts. So we hurt ourselves more... feeding the fish. Then, like a static shock, only a kadrillion times more painful, we finally realize we’ve been had. WTF! Why? It’s been a few months now that this has happened to me but the sting is strong still. I’m reluctantly still on Tinder and I’ve been able to rid , 4 catfish scammers just in april alone! I too know what to look for now. They always seem to use our military and very little to no family members as excuses and always cannot voice call or video chat because of encryption’s on their phones! Ha! I’ve done the research for the right answers before I ask at this point! Question.... does that make me crazy? Answer... no ... better prepared for their bs! Lol. Anyway, I found your story, while self isolating during this trying time, moving and compelled to say that you’re not alone. Again that was a bit ago for you and hopes that you have found someone special by now because you have such a forgiving and warm heart that only the mirrored image would make you smile the most! 🤗. Thank you for your story, Tonia. New Hampshire, USA
I’m so sorry this happened go you. I have no idea but I want to think people who catfish others must not think the situation all the way through from both sides. This can be so damaging. I know you will come through this a better person. Good luck to you. ☺️
This was awesome I had something like this going on years back just see this as a blessing you didn't send them money but regardless I'm sorry this happened to you axel you deserve the best you are just a unique awesome person I'm really glad I found your channel🤘🏻
Sorry to hear that you've had something similar happen to yourself. Yeah...I think I would have felt a lot worse if I sent her money for whatever reason. Appreciate your condolences and kind words, thanks for stopping over! :)
It's horrible thing when your heart is played with. You acted with pure respect and dignity. Trust is fragile and can grow with someone who shows you those qualities of respect and dignity back to you. I wish you all the best Axel your name Guns and Roses inspired I wondered?
This is crazy! How people can stoop so low to do this to someone really angers me... I have had this done to me in the past and I've not been able to trust since. If I talk to someone now I'm instantly suspicious of them. I'm sorry this happened to you dude and I really hope you do get some form of closure. Thank you for openin up and sharing your experience of this. Would make a bloody good episode for the TV show though... Also when you was in the house a good thing to have done was to call the girls phone see if any phone rang. Anyway big love dude, peace ✌
Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been through it too, you really have to question some people out there and I can totally relate to you man, my trust is all over the place at the moment! Thanks though man, I felt like I needed to get this out there! It would have made a great episode to be fair aha! That's true, I didn't really think of that however I think I may have dropped a text on the sly and I was getting messages from her so called 'Mum' at that point about her being in hospital and no one in the house were on their phones so I definitely don't think It was any of them and I didn't recognise anyone's voice!
Axel Grassi-Havnen Ahh.. Well hopefully one day she will have the decency to come forward, admit it and apologise for what she's done... You are a decent dude and you deserve so muc better than to be treated like that. Some people just have no shame.
I'm so sorry this happened to you😥you're such a nice guy.. this experience will help you a lot in the future, I've also been catfished🙄I just tried to understand that person and forgive them, but it still hurt.. You'll meet someone amazing, I'm sure of that😻
Vegan With Love Thank you for your kind words, it sucks that those people exist! I have the most amazing girlfriend now and I’m very grateful for that! :)
I'm so sorry this happened to you, man. If it means anything I met my best friend on Facebook and she lives about 600km away and is the best friend I've ever had :) I still don't trust most people but she restored my faith in humanity quite a bit. There is still some hope.
This sort of thing has never happened to me, reason being I have always thought this would happen to me so I decided I wouldn't meet anyone from online. However there has been a few cases where I have been speaking to people and really dig their personality and all that, but I just decided not to go there. Who knows, it could have been a great decision or a bad decision not to!
Yo bro, I know the feeling. I met a girl online her name was Ashley, she was everything I could want. We ended up texting mostly, spoke to her once and on the verge of falling in love. She sent me a picture of herself holding a post it with my name on it with the date to prove she was real and not a catfish.The first time we tried to meet she gave me an excuse that she had to go to the hospital. She kept asking for money because she had roommate problems then car problems then rent problems. I gave her a total of 13k USD. I wanted to give to her to show her that I cared and to make her understand I’m a provider. The last time we spoke she was getting ready for our date and whoosh. She vanished. No call no anything. Now there’s a hole in my wallet and in my heart. I’ve learned a valuable lesson but the fault is all mine. As a man I’m responsible for my actions and to ignore red flags is my own doing. The money I can make up, but the experience will last forever.
Ah dude, that's certainly a story man. I'm sorry you had to go through that, especially even after her sending a picture of her with your name on a piece of paper. That really sucks, there are some questionable people out there. I feel for you bro and your wallet! :( I understand that there will be a hole in your heart too but congratulations for surviving this and seeing the valuable lesson that you can learn which Is what I now have also seen.
Me again lol. You're too kind Axel! I don't think anybody would've given her that many chances and I don't blame you for being badly affected by this. What a cow lol. Hope you're getting on better now. Much love
At 68, I'm learning all these terms that younger people use. Catfishing is new to me, so I've listened to a few people relating their experiences. It's so wrong on so many levels, I just don't understand why?!?! Why play with someone's emotions and waste their time? Must be a mental issue for sure. Kudos to your mom, I would have done the same for my son. But take heart, you're an attractive and intelligent young man, and I'm sure you'll find that 'right' girl for real. My advice to all young people who are looking to date....try meeting people who are into what you like, take a class or an activity that you love, and the people who are there, will at least have the same interest. Good luck, you'll do just fine.
Oof that’s rough, the very idea of catfish freaks me out. Gotta be cautious online. I hope it doesn’t put you off using the Internet, there are still real people out there ✌🏻
Raz It’s horrible that people exist like that. I don’t think it’s put me off using the Internet, I’m just a lot more cautious and educated due to experiences now but I’ve met the most amazing girl that I’m happy to call my own and life is a lot better than that dark phase in my life!
You mentioned her name in here bro at 17:12.. Must have felt like crap as well considering all the time and effort you put, loved it though continue the stories ❤
There is more in life than a catfish that broke your heart. Time cures everything just let it go it was not what you wanted it taught you a lesson you are spreading awareness...Now let go and move on. Itvis not easy but you can do it...Stay strong
glad you mentioned this as it happened to me in the past never used any social media afterwatds apart from snapchat i hate it these days how people fall so low.
I got catfished on hangouts.The person who did was really good but i immediately found out after the excuses started pouring in but its becoming easier now to find them.
So awful how this can happen to regular people, i honestly just don't understand what the catfish gets out of it? Have you ever tried searching the pictures online to see if there's any matches or digging around a little bit? I know it's hard but it might help you get some sort of closure?
It's ridiculous to be fair, you honestly don't see it coming and that's what I want to know. I think some people do it because they feel lonely and believe that the 'social' media life they live is the best that they can do and will never be able to experience something real. That and they probably have a lot going on themselves mentally. I've done a reverse image search along with trying a few other tactics and nothing came up unfortunately so my catfish may have been quite experienced. The only solid closure I would get would be if she were to come forward and admit it to me and even apologise in person but I really doubt that will happen, I'm afraid to say. :(
have you thought of doing a reverse image search of the pictures she sent you?? maybe that'd give you some answers!! im so sorry this happened to you dude:(
Yeah, I've done that, nothing came up which makes me think she probably used a photo of someone off social media who is unknown, maybe a friend or something! It's all good, shit happens, I guess!
That's so sad and heartbreaking, you are a such a nice and genuine guy and no one deserves to be cat fished especially like that 💕 I had a girl in my year who got catfished on Facebook by one of the boys in my year, she sent nude photos of herself and other inappropriate stuff, it was so bad to the point where the guy convinced her that if they both kill themselves they can be together. She later found out who had been catfishing her and they both ended up in trouble with the police for child pornography and some other stuff.
Thank you for your support and jesus, that is crazy. It's honestly so crazy how one person can influence your mindset, I was so drawn into it and I'm so sorry to hear that the girl in your year got so drawn in to the point where she was almost convinced that if they killed themselves, they could be together! That's seriously messed up and she shouldn't have got into trouble imo, but he deserves the worst for that!
You know what, overlooking the catfisher. You are adorable. Your efforts and consideration?! Adorable. The catfisher was/is an ass. Such a horrid experience (I've been through it too). Chin up
Just wanted to let you know you said her name quite early in the video, can't find the exact moment but just thought I'd let you know. Hope you're okay.
Thanks for letting me know, It's alright to be fair as it's a common ass name anyway and I'm sure it isn't even her real first name so I was probably sweating it too much in the first place but thanks for watching and I appreciate it, I'm not too bad! Hope you're well!
Axel Grassi-Havnen yea I did think it was a bit over the top but I completely understand your caution. I'm pretty good, feels good to have one of my favourite youtubers reply to my comment!
That's harsh, the girl dragged out her "situations" I think all the story's was just harsh but worst part I honestly think is you travelling to where she lived to go hunting in hospital for her, she obviously knew you was there she definitely saw the messages etc... that's heartless and to top it off the lies continued even until the end. The girl owes you some answers and an apology at the very least... everyone can do video calls make sure you can see them before you invest that much effort in someone in the future. Oh and you owe your mum a big thank you and flowers because she travelled more than once to help you with this ghost. Take care
This person had to be very selfish to play with other people’s emotions ....all I can say is you’re a trusting guy and will meet a nice girl when it’s meant to be. I don’t believe in retaliation, but I do believe in karma. In one part when you said I was stupid for believing her .....you were not stupid, but the total opposite smart, trusting, caring and kind.
You get drawn in to give a certain somebody more chances if you feel a certain way about them, I guess. But I got so suspicious about it pretty early on!
I think definitely she going to watch this video and I hope she have the courage to at list apologise to you! I am so sorry this happened to you but over time you'll feel better, just give some time! Cheees some people!😡😕
I'd love for her to apologise, it would be an absolute miracle aha. No need to apologise, I can't change the past I guess and as you say; time will heal it all! I know, it's so sad though. :/
She sounds most likely a mature lady with a sad life . Outrageous to have caused you so much inconvenience and angst , she obviously needed you and couldn't terminate the contact.
Oh my goodness it's almost like looking in the mirror when you tell this story and how you felt through the mist of it of the lies. I am a Christian and I'm going to be honest with you God is what helped me not to go into flip mode through the whole ordeal but I just encourage you and your listeners pretty much what you said which is to pay attention when you are dating online😀
There are some seriously disturbed fish in the sea.
Amalia Grassi wag1 mum
Wassssuuuppp!
SERIOUSLY.
Giving someone you've never met the benefit of the doubt at so many stages just shows how good of a person you are more than anything. And I feel for you bro, I know how it is. 👊
Much love man, I appreciate it and I hope you're good!
In her stories everyone's dying lmao
Trust me dude, it was just sooooo far fetched looking back aha!
+Axel Grassi-Havnen It saddens me that people do this type of shit, And if it had of happened to someone else that isn't as mentally strong as you, it couldn't have ended well ay. Stay safe tho dud.
right? i was like “did she really kill off her grandma?!”😂
That's honestly heart breaking. You seem like such a nice and genuine guy. The fact that anyone could put another person through what you went through is horrible. All the chances you gave and the person just continued to lie. It always happens to the nicest of people. Much love Axel! x
Thank you Samantha, genuinely appreciate the support and it does suck hard, there's some characters out there ahaha! Much love back to you too! :) x

I can't even comprehend how patient you've been and so nice about everything too. You're a genuinely lovely guy and deserve better than this, dude.
I am so sorry this happened to you. You don't deserve it. I have been messed about by people before and it's horrible, I don't understand some people. You're a lovely, down to earth guy and always remember that.x

Searching For Myself For sure man! I’ve learned my lesson now and am more weary and cautious toward people and everything to a certain degree. You gotta be careful, it’s so sad that evil people exist.
Never found an unedited story time video so entertaining, u seem like such a nice guy, keep up this kinda content
Thanks for sharing your story - it sucks that this happened to you but the right person is out there for you. You seem like a lovely guy and I'm sure you will find someone supportive and ambitious who is also genuine. All the best to you.
You are truly an amazing and beautiful person you definitely do not deserve something like this, you are so so nice man, it must've taken a lot of courage to put something like this out there. But you're amazing and I have so much love and respect for you. ❤

For sure, I won't let it defeat me, I appreciate it!

Axel Grassi-Havnen mad respect for you legit reply to every person who comments,work was tiring but decent, have a good one bro
Just viewing your video now though your experience happened a bit ago. I too have been there but affected me financially hard. I know of the lie after lie and excuse with such convincing excuses after. Mentally it hurts and we loose trust. It breaks us a down chipping away at our belief and hopes in possibilities of of a “WOW”, “where have you been”, “we connect “ etc. etc. We continue, though we know, deep down, it’s all false. But.... it can’t be true. Naive to the thought...we give benefits to our doubts. So we hurt ourselves more... feeding the fish. Then, like a static shock, only a kadrillion times more painful, we finally realize we’ve been had. WTF! Why? It’s been a few months now that this has happened to me but the sting is strong still. I’m reluctantly still on Tinder and I’ve been able to rid , 4 catfish scammers just in april alone! I too know what to look for now. They always seem to use our military and very little to no family members as excuses and always cannot voice call or video chat because of encryption’s on their phones! Ha! I’ve done the research for the right answers before I ask at this point! Question.... does that make me crazy? Answer... no ... better prepared for their bs! Lol. Anyway, I found your story, while self isolating during this trying time, moving and compelled to say that you’re not alone. Again that was a bit ago for you and hopes that you have found someone special by now because you have such a forgiving and warm heart that only the mirrored image would make you smile the most! 🤗. Thank you for your story, Tonia. New Hampshire, USA
I’m so sorry this happened go you. I have no idea but I want to think people who catfish others must not think the situation all the way through from both sides. This can be so damaging. I know you will come through this a better person. Good luck to you. ☺️
This was awesome I had something like this going on years back just see this as a blessing you didn't send them money but regardless I'm sorry this happened to you axel you deserve the best you are just a unique awesome person I'm really glad I found your channel🤘🏻
Sorry to hear that you've had something similar happen to yourself. Yeah...I think I would have felt a lot worse if I sent her money for whatever reason. Appreciate your condolences and kind words, thanks for stopping over! :)
I hope by now you have found someone worthy of your compassion and integrity.
Proud of u being through shit like that and honestly it was crazy but stuff like this won’t affect your life your still doing good
Yanique Forsythe ❤️💙❤️
Awww bless you Axel and I love the content of the video and you are so underrated
Thank you Billie, seriously appreciate it!
It's horrible thing when your heart is played with. You acted with pure respect and dignity. Trust is fragile and can grow with someone who shows you those qualities of respect and dignity back to you. I wish you all the best Axel your name Guns and Roses inspired I wondered?
Takes guts to let out something especially when it wasn't that long ago shows that your a great guy you are🙏🙏
Thanks so much man, seriously appreciate that!
something like this happened to me about a year ago i can undrstand what you are feeling
bro, love the video, you deserve way more subscribers.
😍 your mom is so supportive. And you have such a sweet heart. Poor thing. It happens to the best of us
Yo bro I'm glad u got this off ur chest it shows how good of a person u r giving her that many chances🔥❤
this was awesome to binge watch half asleep and jetlagged
This is crazy! How people can stoop so low to do this to someone really angers me... I have had this done to me in the past and I've not been able to trust since. If I talk to someone now I'm instantly suspicious of them. I'm sorry this happened to you dude and I really hope you do get some form of closure. Thank you for openin up and sharing your experience of this.
Would make a bloody good episode for the TV show though... Also when you was in the house a good thing to have done was to call the girls phone see if any phone rang. Anyway big love dude, peace ✌
Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been through it too, you really have to question some people out there and I can totally relate to you man, my trust is all over the place at the moment! Thanks though man, I felt like I needed to get this out there! It would have made a great episode to be fair aha! That's true, I didn't really think of that however I think I may have dropped a text on the sly and I was getting messages from her so called 'Mum' at that point about her being in hospital and no one in the house were on their phones so I definitely don't think It was any of them and I didn't recognise anyone's voice!
Axel Grassi-Havnen Ahh.. Well hopefully one day she will have the decency to come forward, admit it and apologise for what she's done... You are a decent dude and you deserve so muc better than to be treated like that. Some people just have no shame.
She's welcome to do that anytime, I would welcome it. Thank you so much, I don't know what goes through some people's heads aha!
Axel Grassi-Havnen Let's hope she does and sees sense lol You're welcome dude! Haha yeah same... People are strange
Imagine if it was Romell the whole time lmao
I don't even know how I'd feel...I'd probably laugh then cry and laugh again aha!
I'm so sorry this happened to you😥you're such a nice guy.. this experience will help you a lot in the future, I've also been catfished🙄I just tried to understand that person and forgive them, but it still hurt.. You'll meet someone amazing, I'm sure of that😻
Vegan With Love Thank you for your kind words, it sucks that those people exist! I have the most amazing girlfriend now and I’m very grateful for that! :)
Axel Grassi-Havnen aww so cute, I'm so happy for you guys😍😍
I'm so sorry this happened to you, man. If it means anything I met my best friend on Facebook and she lives about 600km away and is the best friend I've ever had :) I still don't trust most people but she restored my faith in humanity quite a bit. There is still some hope.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this is so sad... i really feel for you. im so sorry you had to go through that.
Nestascia mona Thank you for your sympathies! :)
This sort of thing has never happened to me, reason being I have always thought this would happen to me so I decided I wouldn't meet anyone from online. However there has been a few cases where I have been speaking to people and really dig their personality and all that, but I just decided not to go there. Who knows, it could have been a great decision or a bad decision not to!
Probably best to put real experiences before online situations that you could get yourself into man so I don't blame you!
Yo bro, I know the feeling. I met a girl online her name was Ashley, she was everything I could want. We ended up texting mostly, spoke to her once and on the verge of falling in love. She sent me a picture of herself holding a post it with my name on it with the date to prove she was real and not a catfish.The first time we tried to meet she gave me an excuse that she had to go to the hospital. She kept asking for money because she had roommate problems then car problems then rent problems. I gave her a total of 13k USD. I wanted to give to her to show her that I cared and to make her understand I’m a provider. The last time we spoke she was getting ready for our date and whoosh. She vanished. No call no anything. Now there’s a hole in my wallet and in my heart. I’ve learned a valuable lesson but the fault is all mine. As a man I’m responsible for my actions and to ignore red flags is my own doing. The money I can make up, but the experience will last forever.
Ah dude, that's certainly a story man. I'm sorry you had to go through that, especially even after her sending a picture of her with your name on a piece of paper. That really sucks, there are some questionable people out there. I feel for you bro and your wallet! :( I understand that there will be a hole in your heart too but congratulations for surviving this and seeing the valuable lesson that you can learn which Is what I now have also seen.
Axel Grassi-Havnen Thanks bro. We all must live and learn I guess. Take care homie.
Me again lol. You're too kind Axel! I don't think anybody would've given her that many chances and I don't blame you for being badly affected by this. What a cow lol. Hope you're getting on better now. Much love
Thank you, I think I was more than fair with her in the situation! It's hard to comprehend but I won't let it defeat me, I'll be good!
Axel Grassi-Havnen Good for you mate :)
Thank you for sharing your story.But i felt sad for what you went through.Your a very nice person very honest.🌸
Thank YOU!
That's crazy... you handled the situation so well though
Thank you dude.
that's a shitty situation you got stuck in, keep going your channel is growing, good luck
For sure but thank you man, will try keep the momentum going for sure!
I feel for you bro! I hope your okay!
Thank you, I appreciate it, I'm doing alright!
At 68, I'm learning all these terms that younger people use. Catfishing is new to me, so I've listened to a few people relating their experiences. It's so wrong on so many levels, I just don't understand why?!?! Why play with someone's emotions and waste their time? Must be a mental issue for sure. Kudos to your mom, I would have done the same for my son. But take heart, you're an attractive and intelligent young man, and I'm sure you'll find that 'right' girl for real. My advice to all young people who are looking to date....try meeting people who are into what you like, take a class or an activity that you love, and the people who are there, will at least have the same interest. Good luck, you'll do just fine.
Oof that’s rough, the very idea of catfish freaks me out. Gotta be cautious online. I hope it doesn’t put you off using the Internet, there are still real people out there ✌🏻
Raz It’s horrible that people exist like that. I don’t think it’s put me off using the Internet, I’m just a lot more cautious and educated due to experiences now but I’ve met the most amazing girl that I’m happy to call my own and life is a lot better than that dark phase in my life!
Very sorry this happened to you. You seem like such an intelligent, kind guy!
Any women would be lucky to have someone like you.
You mentioned her name in here bro at 17:12.. Must have felt like crap as well considering all the time and effort you put, loved it though continue the stories ❤
It's cool man, I kinda wish I didn't bother with the censorships after all as it's probably not even her real name and far too common anyhow.
Hat off to you Axel, hope you're well
Thank you.
40 minutes??
Hallelujah! Lemme go get some tea.
Ahaha!
❤️ you Axel!!!
Great video!
There is more in life than a catfish that broke your heart. Time cures everything just let it go it was not what you wanted it taught you a lesson you are spreading awareness...Now let go and move on. Itvis not easy but you can do it...Stay strong
glad you mentioned this as it happened to me in the past never used any social media afterwatds apart from snapchat i hate it these days how people fall so low.
watched it all the way through nice video buddy
From Noob To Pro Thank you for watching the whole thing, it’s much appreciated! ❤️
Good story man 😂 we've all been through that experience in a way.
I got catfished on hangouts.The person who did was really good but i immediately found out after the excuses started pouring in but its becoming easier now to find them.
Thanks for sharing!! I feel like it's someone in that house with Dexter.
You definitely didn't deserve that, you're so cool
Thank you!
It's cool dude :)
Your a true inspiration, respect ✊❤️
Thank you!
you are so, so damn cute and I am so sorry you had to go through this all. you don't deserve that.
Emily Clairmont Hehe thank you! It sucks that there are people out there that will abuse other people’s trust in such a way :/
This seems so much like mike foxes ex story
So awful how this can happen to regular people, i honestly just don't understand what the catfish gets out of it? Have you ever tried searching the pictures online to see if there's any matches or digging around a little bit? I know it's hard but it might help you get some sort of closure?
It's ridiculous to be fair, you honestly don't see it coming and that's what I want to know. I think some people do it because they feel lonely and believe that the 'social' media life they live is the best that they can do and will never be able to experience something real. That and they probably have a lot going on themselves mentally. I've done a reverse image search along with trying a few other tactics and nothing came up unfortunately so my catfish may have been quite experienced. The only solid closure I would get would be if she were to come forward and admit it to me and even apologise in person but I really doubt that will happen, I'm afraid to say. :(
have you thought of doing a reverse image search of the pictures she sent you?? maybe that'd give you some answers!! im so sorry this happened to you dude:(
Yeah, I've done that, nothing came up which makes me think she probably used a photo of someone off social media who is unknown, maybe a friend or something! It's all good, shit happens, I guess!
You honestly didn't deserve this. Well, no one does, but this made me so sad. It sucks that people are still catfishing...like grow up.
Tell me about it!
such a great video ❤
That's so sad and heartbreaking, you are a such a nice and genuine guy and no one deserves to be cat fished especially like that 💕
I had a girl in my year who got catfished on Facebook by one of the boys in my year, she sent nude photos of herself and other inappropriate stuff, it was so bad to the point where the guy convinced her that if they both kill themselves they can be together. She later found out who had been catfishing her and they both ended up in trouble with the police for child pornography and some other stuff.
Thank you for your support and jesus, that is crazy. It's honestly so crazy how one person can influence your mindset, I was so drawn into it and I'm so sorry to hear that the girl in your year got so drawn in to the point where she was almost convinced that if they killed themselves, they could be together! That's seriously messed up and she shouldn't have got into trouble imo, but he deserves the worst for that!
I would of sat the whole video if you put all the little details in the story :)
Axel Grassi-Havnen Me too!! It's such a car crash story. Putting somebody to that level of inconvenience is just madness.
Wow 40 minutes video!! being catfished ooof thats not cool hope it dosent happen again. Great vid!!
Thanks dude! I hope so too aha!
Her excuses are ridiculous! 😂 I'm sorry if I find it funny. But bruhhh, your perseverance, I highly commend you for that.
Mykee Roselle It is ridiculous looking back, absolutely ridiculous and I’m more weary now for certain!
You know what, overlooking the catfisher. You are adorable. Your efforts and consideration?! Adorable. The catfisher was/is an ass. Such a horrid experience (I've been through it too). Chin up
SJ Rose Ah, Thank you so much, I was honestly just trying to be a nice person and trust one’s words and my trust obviously got abused
Just wanted to let you know you said her name quite early in the video, can't find the exact moment but just thought I'd let you know. Hope you're okay.
Thanks for letting me know, It's alright to be fair as it's a common ass name anyway and I'm sure it isn't even her real first name so I was probably sweating it too much in the first place but thanks for watching and I appreciate it, I'm not too bad! Hope you're well!
Axel Grassi-Havnen yea I did think it was a bit over the top but I completely understand your caution. I'm pretty good, feels good to have one of my favourite youtubers reply to my comment!
For sure! And no worries, I try my best to reply, always good to speak to you guys, especially when people make effort to show support!
Heartbreaking stuff, I have no ounce of sympathy for the catfish, you on the other hand, I feel for you!
That's harsh, the girl dragged out her "situations" I think all the story's was just harsh but worst part I honestly think is you travelling to where she lived to go hunting in hospital for her, she obviously knew you was there she definitely saw the messages etc... that's heartless and to top it off the lies continued even until the end. The girl owes you some answers and an apology at the very least... everyone can do video calls make sure you can see them before you invest that much effort in someone in the future. Oh and you owe your mum a big thank you and flowers because she travelled more than once to help you with this ghost. Take care
This person had to be very selfish to play with other people’s emotions ....all I can say is you’re a trusting guy and will meet a nice girl when it’s meant to be. I don’t believe in retaliation, but I do believe in karma. In one part when you said I was stupid for believing her .....you were not stupid, but the total opposite smart, trusting, caring and kind.
How didn't you figure it out?
You get drawn in to give a certain somebody more chances if you feel a certain way about them, I guess. But I got so suspicious about it pretty early on!
So glad i watched this video, you are so nice. Greetings from Croatia!
"Her" name is Abby
Unlikely to be even her real name to be honest dude!
Ah, I could have won the comment section
the feels mate i have been there to :( i have bit time trust issues now :(
I think definitely she going to watch this video and I hope she have the courage to at list apologise to you! I am so sorry this happened to you but over time you'll feel better, just give some time! Cheees some people!😡😕
I'd love for her to apologise, it would be an absolute miracle aha. No need to apologise, I can't change the past I guess and as you say; time will heal it all! I know, it's so sad though. :/
Axel Grassi-Havnen yes everything is going to be fine xxx
She sounds most likely a mature lady with a sad life . Outrageous to have caused you so much inconvenience and angst , she obviously needed you and couldn't terminate the contact.
40 mins long love this content wish more you tubers did 40 mins videos
xxxxxx
.,Great vid axel
Thank you!
Did she have social media?
I just had a KIK account! (That she gave me)
A terrible tale brother but you will be stronger after the pain. Ive been gasslighted to distraction. Feeling good now though after 18 months.
Aww don't be upset, it's only a fish ;-)
Oh my goodness it's almost like looking in the mirror when you tell this story and how you felt through the mist of it of the lies. I am a Christian and I'm going to be honest with you God is what helped me not to go into flip mode through the whole ordeal but I just encourage you and your listeners pretty much what you said which is to pay attention when you are dating online😀
