Falling in Love again... over the airwaves

Phone romance goes wrong as 'boyfriend' turns out to be 67 years old. This was one 'love affair' that did not have a happy ending.

After professing love over a year over mobile phone, a 23-year-old engineering post-graduate was shocked on seeing at their first meeting that her 'boyfriend' was a 67-year-old man.

The woman had come in search of the man she adored but broke down and fainted when she met him for the first time at the police station, police said.

Police said the woman had waited at the bus-stand for the man for long but he did not turn up.

On questioning her, police came to know about her quest and obtained the mobile phone number of the person she had been looking for eagerly.

They contacted the 'lover' and asked him to come to the police station immediately. When the "boyfriend" finally turned up, she was shocked to find a grey-haired 67-year-old man, police said.

Perfectly Right.....Generally, wisdom talks by Old people (Golden quotes) :)

I agree. People assess your age by looking at the content of your speech or writing. For instance, I hate to imagine the old man in the pictures when I listen to Churchill's speeches. His voice is ever so young, vivacious and full of so much energy that he appears more young than old.

Generally, people use to judge others by level of maturity shown during discussions and communications, which is NOT same for all. Therefore the confusion when on phones with strangers.

It once happened to me as well, but quite in the opposite way. No not as you are thinking even. Many years back, when there used to msn chatrooms, I once met this lady a 39 year old teacher and got into a random conversation with her. After talking for a while, she told me that she had a feeling that I was at least 50 years old, more than twice my real age. I did not debate her viewpoint and continued my discussion of the English literature with her. We became msn friends and chatted sometimes.

One day she came to the city where I was living along with her kids and husband and asked me if I could meet her family. I said ok. To her amazement, I turned out to be much younger than she had assumed. Even her husband seemed to have been shocked.

The story took a nasty turn, however, when she later told me that she was so disappointed to find that I was so young. Upon my question, she further revealed that she had been fancying me as someone whom she could seriously consider for marriage as she had some conflict going on with her husband.

I was shocked by this revelation since she had never dropped any hint of the sort before. I was surprised how she could not judge my voice from a few phone calls between us.

How sad for her.

Two things of interest.

Why did the police get involved and why did the police contct her parents (she is 23 years old)

Oops. But then again, isn't love supposed to be blind?

However, as it states at the end:

'The man, however, told police that he was speaking to her just for fun and had no other intention.'

Ouch, that gotta hurt :/

Perhaps the guy was using his new Nokia GLX 321 disguiser phone that made him sound so nice and attractive over the phone and he must have used the same to send a hazy picture of himself looking smart and cute
