“We talked on and off. He said he came to Orlando frequently and would I like to meet him for drinks," he said. "I wasn’t attracted to him but we kept talking as friends — I thought.”

“There was a lot of small talk and I had no idea he was married with a kid,” he continued. “His profile name was MP, which I took meant Military Police after he told me he was a policeman."

But his marriage was not the only thing he was dishonest about. "His profile said he was 26, six feet tall and he weighed 169 pounds. However from his profile pic, he looked much heavier,” Kevin claimed.

“We lost communication a few months ago because he wanted me to make dates to meet up with him,” the 29-year-old said. “I don’t like to feel pressured into doing anything and it was clear he really wanted to meet up with me. So I stopped answering his messages.”

“It was about 1 a.m. and I was going to my car.
I knew his face and eyes immediately. I said, ‘Ey?’ There was no smile or frown. Nothing. He said ‘ ey what’s up’ and he walked into the club,” he recalled.
