Never met him and figured it out in a few days. He immediately blocked me once I asked him about it. Only thought it was weird that he didn’t say a ton about his personal

honestly that’s not even “getting catfished” if you didn’t send him anything, that’s just not falling for a catfish. You noticed something was up and looked into it, how is that dumb?
