So it was my first time “heated-talking” to someone I met from Omegle. I’m a female (17) and he’s younger than me. I wasn’t able to think about the consequences of my actions and I admit, that was a fault on my part. But I did say to keep it “SFW” or Safe For Work but his flirts and advancements got the best of me. He sent me pictures of his stuff. I, of course, who was shocked by what I just did (since I also said yes sure you can send me pics), tried to play it off since I don’t want to hurt his feelings by backing out by the time he already “opened up to me.” So right, and he asked me if he could send a second pic. I, of course thought “I started this, I should be held responsible.” So I of course, said yes again– like an idiot.

But I realized “this is wrong” like what I should’ve realized when he asked me if he could send me the first pic. I apologized and said I can’t do it. Then I admit I am 17. For the record, I told him I was older than him when he said he’s (a minor). I was like “WHAT SO I AM OLDER THAN YOU HUH?” I have photo proof of the chat. He blocked me and added me to a group with this male best friend and they started talking stuff about me like “why did you lie to me doe” and I calmly and politely answered every accusation they threw me. As I said, I have proof of all the chats. I am pretty sure I can’t go to jail because of this since it was consensual to both parties and we are both minors. But I still feel so bad.

I feel like I played with his feelings even though I legitimately wanted to befriend him. I just was not able to say no when it started getting heated. I didn’t think it would escalate from me telling I like him as a friend, to him sending me pics, to me getting accused of stuff I didn’t do? Like say I am 14 even though I’m 17 and either way, I’m still a minor, right?

I know people are doing some more deep sh1t than this but I’m not a predator. And if somehow they blackmail me using the messages I did not send, I need some advice. I don’t know if they are capable to do that since I have the legit chat and it cannot be deleted since it was a while ago now. I need some advice and/ or reassurance please. Thank you.

Sorry it was long but I just wanted it to be in-depth. Thank you for reading!
