Safety Advice

What To Do When You Stumble Upon A Fake Profile

Safety is the number one factor that people neglect in successful online dating, and we at Anastasia Date are aware of that. Yes, in order for you to say that you’re successfully online dating, you have to keep yourself safe. You can find a fake profile all over online dating sites, and you can never be too careful. Nobody wants to get scammed into believing in anything that aims to deceive people.

Anastasia Date Helps You With Spotting And Reporting

Well, today, maybe we can all be reminded of how important it is to know how to spot a fake dating profile and what you need to do when you do spot one.

Signs Of A Fake Profile

Grammatical errors – not everyone has perfect grammar but you at least have to have a good grasp of it to make sentences that are understandable.

The profile has one photo and it looks like a model – fake dating profiles usually have just one photo uploaded. It could be that the person doesn’t have time to upload new photos. Also, it is suspicious if the photo looks familiar – like you’ve already seen it somewhere.

Suspicious links – one sure sign that you might have come across a fake dating profile is if the profile has weird links that bring users to another website, or, worse, download a program that hacks into someone’s computer.

Doesn’t want to upload new pics – of course, you can ask for new pictures to be uploaded into their profile, but this person doesn’t seem to want to upload new pictures. There’s always an excuse – one after another.

What To Do

There are more signs, of course, but if you come across any of the signs listed above, stop corresponding with the person.

Do not click on any links the person sends to you.

Report the profile to the dating site you’re on immediately.

Block the person if you can.

If the fake dating profile is still contacting you, it would be best to ignore the person and let the dating site know.

Anastasia Date always looks after its clients, and you can always contact us if you have more questions about this topic. Also, feel free to visit our blog regularly for more advice about dating and fun posts including lifestyle, travel, love, relationships and many other.

Little Things That Show Genuine Attraction and True Romance

Here at AnastasiaDate, we believe in dating, not data. These days it seems like everyone is trying to crack the code and crunch the numbers of attraction, but there’s no universal quantitative measurement for true romance, butterflies in your stomach, or the throb of your heart.

Signs That Will Show You You Are Living The True Romance

In fact, there is nothing factual or scientific about romance that can be applied to every single person out there–how boring would life be if there were? We’re not interested in boring. We want you to connect–to interact spontaneously with whomever strikes your fancy, and we can’t wait for you to feel that spark that is your heart’s unique way of letting you know something’s stirring in there.

More hints that might mean something significant is brewing in your heart

  1. You get a message that you hoped to receive from your special someone at the exact moment when you needed it most.
  2. You start focusing on the other person in a video chat session more than sneaking self-conscious peeks at yourself in the thumbnail.
  3. You eat a type of food you’d never dream of trying just because she made it for you. And you enjoy it.
  4. They’re the first person you want to tell when something good happens to you.
  5. They’re the first person you want to tell when something bad happens to you.
  6. Accepting their morning breath.
  7. When you (finally!) meet someone offline for the first time, and feel like you’ve known them all along.
  8. Spending a full day in bed with them, and not thinking about the outside world.
  9. You adore their pet(s), too.
  10. Feeling comfortable letting your guard down at dinner, and really chowing down in front of them.
  11. When you’re stricken by how beautiful she is, even when she thinks she’s at her worst.
  12. You get excited try the things that they love—sports, hobbies, TV shows, whatever.
  13. Your friends know their name.
  14. Talking on the phone doesn’t seem like a chore—you genuinely look forward to it.
  15. Just the thought of her makes you smile.
  16. You worry about them, and wonder about how their day is going.
  17. You feel comfortable just being together in silence.
  18. If they’re far away from you, you automatically think in their time zone.
  19. You can picture your kids.
  20. You happily let them have the last sip or bite.
  21. Blemishes and physical imperfections? You don’t even notice them.
  22. You’re stricken by just a hint of nausea when you’re about to see them or video chat with them.
  23. You didn’t get through this whole list without messaging them at some point.

At the end, it’s OK to just jump in and see what happens. That’s what we believe in, and we’re happy you’re here.

Jump in.

Learn How to Flirt In A Few Easy Steps

Whenever you flirt or chat with a date – either online or face-to-face – it’s always important not to “interview” your match by asking too many consecutive questions. Instead, try to lead the conversation in a direction that emotionally connects the two of you. There’s a simple technique for connecting with a prospective partner on an emotional level: respond to the emotional content of what they say, rather than the factual content and you can easily say you finally know how to flirt.

The Details Of Learning How To Flirt

For example, if your match says:

“I went skydiving once.”

A fact-based response might look like this: “Cool. My friend is a professional skydiver.”

Whereas an emotion-based response could be something along the lines of: “That’s great. I like when people are adventurous enough to step outside their everyday comfort zone. How did you feel right after you jumped?”

When your match tells you something about themselves, they communicate both factual content (e.g. that they went skydiving) and emotional content (e.g. they are adventurous and love fun). If you respond with a fact about yourself (especially one that “one-ups” her story), it won’t make them feel like you are connecting. If you acknowledge that they are trying to share an emotion, and lead the conversation towards that, the two of you will build a much deeper connection.

It’s tricky to train yourself not to respond with a “me” statement-when we speak to each other, one-upmanship is natural. But when couples do it, it can feel cold and insensitive, or even self-absorbed.

Practice this technique of responding to the emotional content she provides you, and you’ll find that your conversations leave both of you feeling more connected. And then you can also say they you’ve finally learned how to flirt.

Things You’ll Regret Telling Her On The First Date

First date is always nerve wrecking. What do you say? How do you act? Do you have broccoli on your teeth? There’s so much to worry about.  Sorry if that doesn’t sound reassuring, but it’s the truth. Despite that, all the mistakes you can make can be made up with a pleasant and engaging conversation.

Don’t Talk About The Following Topics On Your First Date

Interesting conversation can be the problem though because what to talk about is one of the things that worry you. Well, let’s just start with topics or statements that you should avoid to keep things simple.

Ex Attacks

If you’re going to talk about your ex negatively, make sure that you’re just doing it with your friends. This is beyond inappropriate for a first date topic. You don’t want your date to think that you’re bitter and that you carry a lot of excess baggage with you.

Rude Words

By being rude to waiters, bartenders, and other servers, you’re not showing your first date that you’re confident. You’re showing her that you’re rude. Confidence has nothing to do with being overly arrogant and disrespectful.

The Football Game

Rarely you will find a woman who is as excited about sports as you. If you’re on a first date with one who is, that’s fantastic, but if not, do not bring up the basketball, football, or baseball game you watched last week. Don’t explain why it was the most epic game of the season. You’ll just bore her. Move on to another topic instead.

Your Financial Worries

If you’re out of work currently, that can be a problem because your date will ask, sooner or later, what your job is. Simply rephrase it. Tell her something like you’re currently in between jobs. That’s a white lie, but gentlemen, please understand that women are attracted to men who are ambitious, passionate and full of potential.

Give Your Mouth A Rest

Last but not the least is shutting your mouth. Sometimes, saying nothing is the best thing to do. Listen to your date and give her a chance to tell her story. Women love it when men listen. Don’t just fake it too! Actively listen to what she has to say and react to it to make an engaging and interactive.
