The answer

We thank the questioner for her caution against entering into a romantic relationship with a man who is a stranger to her. What was incumbent upon her was to conceal her admiration for this young man and not to inform him, even if it was through a fake account, as this could be an entryway for Satan, and she would thereby incur sin, and repentance becomes obligatory for her.
