I made the mistake of going into a chat room one day. I had never done this

before and told myself that I wouldn't, but everyone I knew was and they

seemed to be meeting great people. So finally out of curiosity I made the

biggest mistake of my life and went into one.

I met a guy name Jason. We chatted a few times but I didn't give too much

information at first. After about 2 months he seemed to be harmless enough.

I found out that we actually lived within 30 minutes of each other. He

wanted to meet me. I wouldn't meet him at first but then finally decided

that it couldn't hurt if we met in a public place. He was gorgeous. We hit

it off great even though I was worried that it would be ackward after

talking online for so long. We met a few more times for dinner and such and

the places continued to be a little more private then the previous time. We

had many common interests and I found myself actually thinking that he might

be the one. When he asked if I would like to come over for dinner one night

there was no hesitation when I said yes. He was a great guy.

He cooked me a very nice dinner and we went into the living room and talked.

We started kissing and I thought that it would progress even further but he

was a complete gentleman and said no, he wanted to wait until it was the

perfect time. I left for home with a passionate kiss at the door and had to

be satisfied with that. We continued to see each other for a couple more

months with nothing more than kissing and a little fondeling. One night I

went out with a bunch of friends from work. After quite a few drinks at a

bar, the men in the group suggested that we all visit a "Men's Club". All

the other women agreed so I went along too. Shortly after we got there I

noticed one of the dancers looked very familiar, but I couldn't figure out

where I knew her from. A few moments later she noticed me, got a shocked

look on her face, mumbled my name and hurried to the dressing room. I didn't

see her the rest of the evening. When she said my name it sounded like

Jason!!!

The next evening I called Jason and told him I would be coming over for

dinner. When I got there he appeared to be very uncomfortable, but I figured

it was just my imagination. I told him what I had done the previous night

and asked if he had a sister that was in that line of work. He hesitated and

then finally admitted that it was him! He was really a girl named Stephanie.

I was in shock. He/she quickly started to explain that it originally started

out as a joke, but as time went on he had really fallen for me. Then he was

too scared to tell me for fear of loosing me. The words I love you came out

of his mouth. I didn't know what to say.I told him that I needed time to

think. I went home that night and didn't call him or email him for a couple

of weeks. Up until this point I was starting to think that I had fallen in

love. What was I going to do. During those couple of weeks he sent me

flowers, candy, cards, letters, gifts, anything he thought would win me

back. I decided tha!

t I couldn't be with him. He had lied to me and I would never be able to

trust him. I met him at a restaurant and told him how I felt. He seemed to

take it OK. But the next day I started getting calls where they hung up on

me, I received dead flowers, threatening letters, and there were several

times that I thought I saw someone outside my window watching me but when I

looked back there would be no one there. Then one day I found my cat

missing. He sometimes went out my window so I didn't think anything of it,

until I found it in a plastic bag, dead on my front porch the next day. I

went to the police. To this day I am still getting harrassed and the police

say they can't do anything about it since we have no proof that it is him.

Word of warning, no matter how tempting chat rooms are, or how nice you

think that person is, remember that you don't know that person and steer

clear of them. Hopefully my horror will end soon and one will never begin

for you.
