I'm really shaken, I think I've just been catfished. I'm 18 and have no experience - I was upfront about this in my bio. I was matched and chatted with a guy, 'two year older', this evening. I got very excited, chat went past flirty, and I suddenly thought this seemed too good to be true. I've had mental health issues in the past and was unsure whether I was just being paranoid. I asked the guy to verify himself (in a less robotic way) and he immediately unmatched.
I deleted my profile after 10 minutes really nasty minutes of spiralling fear. I emailed the app service address as there was no report feature, and laid out the details.
I've avoided posting specifics because I'm concerned the guy might attempt to verify any of my information. I don't want to be any more unsafe.
I need some advice for what I should do now, and if I've done the right thing already. I feel bloody disgusting. Any tips on not being catfished - I know there's always a risk involved?
I can DM any specifics if it would be necessary.
