This woman fell for a catfish and then he led her to a movie-like romance

This surge in internet romances has been met with waves of support and controversy, depending on what people’s views are. Those in favor of these relationships praise how easy it is to find love online, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t have much free time. However, there’s no denying that there are risks involved when it comes to meeting people on the internet. You can never be sure of who you’re talking to online unless you’re in a video chat. Many people use this anonymity to catfish strangers, just like someone did to 35-year-old Emma Perrier. Luckily, while this person might have put her through the wringer, they ended up leading Emma to the love of her life.

Looking for love

Like many people in the world, Emma Perrier was a woman looking for love. The restaurant manager from London desperately wanted a man to call her own, especially after the heartache her ex had put her through. She’d come to learn that meeting people in real life was incredibly difficult, and that realization pushed her towards online dating.

Although internet romances weren’t a foolproof solution, there was every chance she’d find her prince charming on an app.

The perfect match

Of all the possible dating apps out there, Emma decided that Zoosk was the one for her. She set up a profile and immediately started receiving messages from potential suitors. It was one Ronald “Ronnie” Scicluna who caught her eye, though.

The man seemed like a total catch, fitting the whole tall, dark, and handsome thing to a tee. The man lived in the West Midlands a few hours away from Perrier, and he was the same age as the restaurant manager. There was a chance the two of them could be great together, so Emma took the plunge and responded to him.

Going places fast

Any fear that Ronnie wouldn’t be interested in Emma disappeared as soon as they started talking. There was an instant connection between the two that excited Perrier to no end. She couldn’t believe her luck at finding someone so perfect on Zoosk, and it thrilled her to think about what their future held.

Although the restaurant manager didn’t want to get ahead of herself, she was confident that their romance was going somewhere. After all, they talked all the time and discussed things like what their hopes and dreams were. It was like fate had handed Emma the perfect man.

Bump in the road

Unfortunately, as excited as the woman was about her new romance, it wasn’t long before things hit a bump in the road. When Emma brought up the idea of speaking on a video call, Ronnie quickly dismissed it. He suggested that it was the kind of thing that teenagers do and that they should stick to their current form of communication.

Understandably, the restaurant manager was disappointed, especially as she desperately wanted to take things to the next level. However, she let the issue slide, preferring to ignore the warning flag that Ronnie’s excuse brought up. She wanted this romance to work.
