If you’re in the mood for love, but don’t have the right words, is using AI ok?

I love nerds because I am a comic book nerd myself. I met my boyfriend Richard on a dating app. We have been dating for several months. He too is a nerd and works in IT just like me. We recently had our first big fight. We got tipsy before he told me that he used AI to write almost all of the romantic stuff he sent me while he was courting me on the dating app. Those weren't even his true words, but rather those of a bot. I feel very deceived and am hurt. I also feel like a fool because I got goosebumps from something that isn't even real. My best friend says I should dump Richard for lying. My sister says I need to get over it and move on with the relationship because I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. How can I even trust Richard if he's lied and isn't even honest about his true feelings. What should I do? Is it a big deal that artificial intelligence did the talking for Richard?
I'm a nerd. There is no hiding it. I grew up a massive fan of the Power Rangers and Professional Wrestling among many things. Action Figures and superhero movies I spent a lot of money on. I know the complete history of Tommy becoming the Green Ranger but what a girl might like was lost to me for a long time. Not really the biggest dater in high school especially. I dated my ex from high school into my 20s (10 plus years) and didn't get to truly experience the dating pool until then and it was a completely new world. Tried every tip and trick you could find on the internet and still didn't know what was the right mode that worked for me so I can truly understand being lost on what to do when you are not used to it. We buy cards that represent our feelings all the time and it's ok so using A.I. to do it doesn't sound out of the ordinary. When you like someone a lot but aren't suave, you need some assistance to put this into words so he turned to a computer. Talk more directly and get to the core of who he is. Trust and pay attention to his actions. I think people have a hard time understanding that men aren't as complicated to understand. When a man likes someone there is no question. Words can be fake clearly but the sign is right in front of you so focus on what's real. The eyes don't lie.

5 Glorious Bald Men to Make DB Feel Better About His Head
I recently had alittle bit of a hair snafu. I had some miscommunication with my barber which lead to me shaving my head completely bald for the first time ever. To say this was a drastic change was an understatement.
“There are no mistakes, just happy accidents" - Boss Ross
It was a huge change for my co-workers and friends to experience:
I went about 2 weeks with this look (5 0 clock shadow after one week) and despite the fun and laughs I think I'm not ready for the bald life just yet. Now being transparent: I'm 35 years old and my hair has started to thin over the last few years. I've tried my best to keep my hair as long as I can but it's my destiny. On both sides of my family, all the men eventually go bald. My father, grandfathers & uncles all rocking the look. When you can see the future in your bloodline then it isn't so bad. And rocking this look I got a lot of compliments and helped me decipher my plan for my future bald look.
Tips For Being Bald!
Now my bald life will still come soon but not now but until then here are some bald celebs I hope to rock the look like one day!
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
The Final Boss. The Peoples Champ. The Most Electrifying man of all entertainment. He has always been an inspiration with doing whatever he wants to do and he rocks the bald well.
Samuel L. Jackson
The man has rocked alot of wigs. And played a ton of characters but the bald look seems to be the standard. Also it works for being Shaft and Nick Fury.

Walter White
The character did have cancer but to break bad in Breaking Bad I think the bald look helped. To be called Heinsberg you gotta look like a Villain.

Mr. Clean
Undisputed Bald GOAT. If Clean is your specialty then you need to be clean. My boy kills it in the all white fit. One earring and bald head. That's the ICON.
Michael Jordan
Stone Cold Steve Austin was bald and a great candidate but with The Rock filling the wrestling quota I needed to go to the true GOAT of Sports and that is Michael Jordan. Jordan's are so big other sports guys are wearing the brand. He changed the game and did it with a clean look. So bald in a sense equals Greatness. So one day I can be in that club.
