How do you be truthful to someone thats been truthful to you?

Question

So I recently met this person (we'll call them X) on an online chatroom.

and weve been talking for the past week, and x seems like a really normal person, X is 16 and im 15, and I was always told to (hide my information online) so I made up a fake name, but Im really starting to care about X and X has used their real name the entire time and I feel bad, how do I tell X that I lied about my name?

extra info:

I facebooked them, and Ive seem them on webcam and theve seen me, they were truthful 100%... and I was well 80%? i guess.

Im serious, I feel really bad.

I put this in anthro because It fits in a way and i want more than a one sided opinion okay =P

Answer 1

well, how are you positive she is being 100% truthful w/ you... people tell little white lies all the time... especially w/ people they are interested in and just meeting... I would just flat out tell her the truth and do it quickly before things get more intense and it gets worse... she might even have something to tell you! Just get it out in the open, it will make you feel better in the long run, no matter how it turns out. :)

Answer 2

tell X the same thing you're telling us.

if you explain and dont lie about anything else WHILE explaining -- all shall be guuuudddd :D

if it was for security reasons, i dont see why she wouldnt understand.

Answer 3

First theres no way you care for someone without having any experiences with them other than chatting, who cares

Second, you are not being honest with yourself, chatting is for hooking up.

So hook  up with him and then find out if you really like the person as compared to the pseudo reality of chat rooms

Answer 4

You did not lie to hurt them, you lied to ensure your own personal safety as you were chatting over the net with a stranger.  You did everything right.  Now that you know your chat mate isn't a stalker or a pedophile, you can explain to the person that you used a false name and the reason why.

If they hold it against you that you were following guidelines endorsed by the police to protect teens on the net, they aren't worth chatting with anyway.

Answer 5

come clean asap and tell all your reasons.  don't let the lie go further.

Answer 6

You just need to tell x the truth...
