LW#1:  people online are not always who they claim to be.  That's especially true when they're "perfect" for you.  They're only perfect because they're mirroring you to get your attention.

That woman may do this to lots of other people because she can't actually show up or the truth would become known.


Just take it as a learning experience and move on.  Next time, don't wait until you're emotionally invested to meet -- meet for coffee only -- just to make sure that the other person is who he/she claims to be.

It's called catfishing and it's pretty common.  A guy tried it on me, and after he cancelled a get together at the last minute two times, I told him either we meet or not to contact any more.  He cancelled at the last minute again, but he kept trying to contact me anyway.  I just blocked him.
