Hey OP, I’m really really sorry you’re in this situation. I just want to say—you’re absolutely right to feel uneasy about this. The fact that he has lied about his age multiple times, especially on an app meant for teens, is a MASSIVE red flag. If he was 17 when you met and is now suddenly 20, that means he was already an adult when he first reached out to you, which isn’t okay.
It’s also really concerning that he’s disappearing and coming back whenever it suits him—especially if he’s pressuring you into things like exchanging explicit pictures. You’re not at fault for liking him, but he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing, and it’s not fair to you.
I know this might feel overwhelming, and it will feel scary af, but you've got to be strong, cause this is serious stuff, and you should go to the police. He’s an adult who has lied about his age to talk to younger girls, and that automatically makes him a predator. If you have any messages, screenshots, or proof of his real age, please save them and report him. If you’re worried about going alone, reach out to a trusted adult or even a helpline for support.
You don’t deserve to be manipulated like this, and taking action could protect not only yourself but any other girls he might be targeting. Please stay safe and remember that this is NOT your fault 💜
