Really fucking random coincidence?
So I'm browsing reddit a few days ago and I come across a description of my girlfriend– the long distance one I met at a wedding. The redditor described the girl he's dating with a very unique physical trait that is linked to her career. The chances of someone else matching this description and backstory of my gf are really fucking slim.
I've come to the conclusion that it's either:
A. A really random coincidence. From his post history he lives on the opposite coast- theres just no way they can be dating. Yeah I know I live 10 hours away but we see each other every couple of weeks and talk regularly in-between her busyness.
B. He in fact does know her and is semi making it up. He has the same tight knit career, similar in age, and there is a good chance they went to the same schools. His post history indicates that he brags incessantly about money, women, and career. He saw an opportunity to fantasy brag for karma points on the internet.
C. they are having a long distance dating thing going on. I really doubt this for many reasons but hey I could be wrong.
Now I have no idea how to proceed. I tried to bait him into divulging more info but he ignored me.
This is what I don't want in a LDR, a slight glimmer of insecurity :/
- well you can ask the dude directly, say you're seeing a very similar girl named ______ if it's not true no big deal, she'll never know. If not, it will blow up.robotron3k
- I think you have to be mindful of women and hypergamy.robotron3k
- When I was a teenager my family moved across country and I lost contact w/all my old friends. One of them read an article in Transworld about a guy...PonyBoy

- both sexes can be hypergamous, but for women, the (natural) tendency to deceive men and leech money and resources off them.robotron3k

- agree with Pony, this "coincidence" could be a god-send, contact the writer.robotron3k
- robo, not her personality. she splits travel costs with me. wanted nothing to do with holiday gifts or vday. makes good $ but drives a beater.fourth
- I'm trying to think of a way of contacting the writer without scaring him off or catching him in his supposed lie.fourth
- Don’t listen to robo. He despises women, especially those that are better than him.monospaced

- I know I'm not being helpful, but do you really need this insecurity? LDR can work. I prefer open relationships. and a lot of communication.oey
