I think she decided you two would pretty much just be friends within minutes of seeing you in person.
Sending a fake picture is bad, very bad. Unless you are sending her someone from UglyPeople.com as a joke in which case its funny and good, but generally its a bad thing to lie or send fake pictures so soon.
Next, I suspect that the nature of your communication on the phone and online was much more romantic and you were more bold with putting the e-Moves on her, but were probably more reserved in person.
If this is what happened, this could be your congruency test failure right there.
Moving along, it seems like she is popular as she claims lots of guys have been asking her out. You handled that pretty well by telling her its her business I think. But since she is popular she probably has lots of choices and the mistakes you made early on probably made her slot you into a lower rating in the listing of all the guys interested in her, so she acted accordingly.
I would say don't bother anymroe.
The important thing to learn for next time is:
1. No Fake Picture!
Go to a professional photographer, pay the $20 or whatever, and get your picture taken professinally. Even if you aren't photogenic they WILL make you look good, this is what they do for a living.
I've seen some very mediocre to ugly girls look HOT and ATTRACTIVE on professional photos.
2. Meet the person early.
Do not talk to her for months on the phone and online first, if you are going to be asking her out for a meeting do so early. I've successfully asked a girl out after just 2 hours of online conversation, so if she is interested in you if you do everything right in the beginning, it IS possible to get her out early.
At the very least no more than a week or 10 hours of total conversation, whichever comes first.
3. Be Congruent.
If you are saying things like:
- *touches your shoulder*
- *takes your hand*
- *eyes you suspiciously*
- *sticks tounge out*
And other gestures you type out in the internet, DO THEM IN REAL LIFE TOO. If you are bold and say these things early on and make e-Moves on her, do them as well in person.
If you use certain phrases or make certain types of comments or talk about certain topics online also do them in person.
This is very important. If you are not in real life who you are online it will kill the attraction because remember she got attracted to WHO YOU WERE ONLINE. So be the guy she was attracted to originally or you will fail.
And if you hesitate in real life to be your bold romantic self in person, just remember that she not only wants to see your online persona come to life she is EXPECTING it because she thinks thats who you are. So if she accepted your gestures and phrases and moves online she will most likely do so in real life too.
I don't agree with whoever wrote up there not to meet women online. I think you have nothing to lose, and it can be fun, and there are some quality women out there. Just know how to do it properly and you will have success.
