So I (33) used to work as a Special Education Teacher, which is a very tough job (not as tough as nurse or a lot of other jobs- but you’d be surprised at how mentally and physically draining some positions can be) so I connect with a guy, and on the date he says that he also taught Special Education. If I said I taught 7 years , he says he taught 10. If I said I had a rough time some years, he never made a mistake and implies I’m a bad teacher. If I taught grades 1-12 and I have 3 credentials, he taught TK - Adult Education and has 4 credentials and a masters. So he was making me feel pretty bad about myself, and after this long 4 hour date I went to look him up on social media (becuase surely he’d be listed in the district employees list). Then I saw online through LinkedIn, he never taught a day in his life and has 0 teaching credentials and 0 education history on it. Funny thing is he had a really good job- in a science field, I don’t know why he had the need to do that or try to one up me. This guy was going on and on about fake stories and fake teaching experiences he had for literally hours😆.

Idk, so I told my parents after the date - and all they could fixate on was that he has a good job and they think I should give him a shot. I , however, want to confront him lightly or jokingly just becuase IDK it honestly makes me mad that someone would do this.

What would you guys do?
