Yeah you're right about using my brain. Though he's been on TV in his wheelchair, so I highly doubt he made it up. I've never met someone through the internet before, this is the first one.
I have to admit it never crossed my mind people would lie that extensively about their circumstances. It is something to keep in mind for the future. Though I won't be doing any internet-dating anytime soon.
Thanks for your fast and rational reply. I guess I need that once in a while when my head starts compiling mess.
