You have to be aware that some online daters do lie like crazy. But
you need to be very cautious because what worked for A may not work for B. Doing
a little investigating about the person you’re talking to and hope to meet
won’t hurt…
1. Bolt if s/he has one or two profile photos
to share
If s/he makes excuses as
to why s/he cannot send you a picture or web cam chat, you’re probably dealing
with someone who is lying about what they look like. Don’t be afraid to ask for
proof of who you’re talking to. If s/he acts offended and makes you feel bad for
asking, s/he’s probably being dishonest. It’s important to not only see photos
of the man/woman you’re talking to online, but to also do a web cam chat. Photo
theft online are so common these days that you need to make sure you’re talking
to who you really think you are. I know of a rich friend of mine who got duped
by her tall, handsome, chocolate dipped yummy yum face book boyfriend of nearly
a year after intensive face-face intimate discussions, romantic dates that led
to constant oohs and aahs…He disappeared like a smoke with her most priced
treasures/assets …although efforts has been made to locate that ass wipe,
his whereabouts still remains a mystery.
2. Sweet talker
If you look at all of the people who go public with being
scammed by someone online, you’ll find the majority of them were talking to
someone who sounded too good to be true. The chances of you meeting someone who
is a model, actor, or wealthy businessman are slim to none. If you meet someone
who say s/he is any of those things, do your research. You want to believe
someone wouldn’t lie like that, but as you’ve probably seen it does happen a
lot. Don’t simply assume that you won’t be a target. According to a colleague,
we tend to have sweet talkers on badoo. LOL
3. Far but around the corner
If the wo/man you’ve met online lives within driving distance,
you should be able to meet. If s/he makes excuses as to why s/he cannot meet,
chances are s/he doesn’t plan to ever meet you. No one is busy 24/7. Most
people have a day off now and then or weekends. Consider all of the free time s/he
spends chatting to you or talking on the phone. S/he’s not too busy during
those times.
Online dating requires
patience and a lot of common sense. When things don’t add up don’t be afraid to
ask questions. Don’t feel guilty about doing research on the person you’re
talking to. It’s up to you to protect yourself as best as you can. Please,
don’t show signs of desperation
