Apparently, OK Cupid is designed for people who want to hook up and have sex. I had a friend who found a great guy on there and they got into a relationship. I started with OK Cupid because of all the questions it asked. I thought it could be something of interest and just have some fun putting myself out there. Then within two weeks this Chad guy came along. I thought it was odd when he would e-mail me, his name came up at "Rick King". I asked him what he went by since he said his name was Richard Chad King Jr.. He told me he was named after his father and since he didn't know who his Mom was yelling at growing up, he preferred to go by Chad. Chad was his Grandfathers name, who he was also named after. He told me how he was the second oldest of 14 kids. Chad said he had not been in a relationship due to work, being a truck driver kept him away from home. "Who wants to be at home all week alone". He said his last relationship was 4 1/2-5 years ago. I was told he came home and he found her with another man, he walked in on it, turned and walked out. He also said to me how he had not been on a date in 2 or 3 years. Hadn't found anyone he wanted to date, and work kept him busy.
Chad only wanted to talk via KIK. He claimed due to the trucking company he drives for, TMC cracked down on personal calls and texts. Our conversation grew more and more flirty and eventually we were exchanging more than photos of our faces, it got quite sensual. I was surprised by how comfortable he was, he started quite polite by asking if he could share a photo he took of me, "I'm covered up". I felt it was sweet. Then things began to grow between us, our conversation began to grow. It wasn't always flirty, there was substance to what I felt we were sharing. He was opening up more to me. His messages were longer and longer, and our conversation developed into something special. He began to tell me he cared about me, occasionally would say he missed me. In the last of our conversations he would say how he has told his family and all his brothers about me. He felt that once we met, he would know for sure I was "the one". My heart soared, I was developing a strong interest and could even say feelings for this person. I tried to be patient and understanding about his busy work schedule, even though I was frustrated he would not call and seemed to be going home a lot on the weekends. I called him out on having someone at home, a girlfriend, a wife, and every single time he would reply, "Ain't no one else".
In April I found a "Rick King Jr." on Facebook. I tried to "Friend" this person, a few days later (which I blogged about this) he claimed I had found one of his brothers. I noticed there were two Rick King Jr's, one canceled my friend request, where the other person went and ignored it.
Ever since April I have been a little uncertain about Chad. I wanted to believe he was telling me the truth. However, I am realizing I have been duped. The more and more research I have done online about this guy, the less I find on 'Richard Chad King Jr'. Yet, there is quite a bit information on 'Rick B King Jr' or 'Ricky B King Jr'. Rick has been married to Amanda since April 23, 2000. They have three kids. The oldest daughter has his eyes and the youngest, a boy, resembles him.
The biggest kicker is a tattoo that caused "Chad" aka "Rick" to bust himself. A celtic tattoo which came up in conversation months ago. I saw a photo of 'Ricky' enjoying a bud light on Facebook. A selfie photo of him holding it and his tattoo in the photo. I asked yesterday if I could see a pic of the tattoo on "Chad's" leg. With great hopes I asked him if he and his brothers ever got matching tattoos. He said "nope, all of mine r one of a kind except my wrist"
This was not the answer I was hoping for from him.
The photo below says everything to me....the one of the left was posted on Facebook June 12, 2015. The one on the right was taken yesterday, July 19, 2015 that he sent to me himself from his phone.
These tattoos tell me everything. Even if other things don't add up and it 'could' possibly be a brother. However, this is one detail that is just too difficult to overlook anymore. Now, I am heartbroken and sad, as well as feeling absolutely foolish for getting caught up with this guy.
catfish [kat-fish] verb: To pretend to be someone you're not online by posting false information, such as someone else's pictures, on social media sites usually with the intention of getting someone to fall in love with you.
I have been duped. :(
