Don’t be “Catfished” for Valentine’s Day – 5 Steps to Help Avoid Online Dating Deception

Julie Ferman

Did your online lover turn out to be a young boy playing a prank or an imposter? As in the documentary film and reality TV show “Catfish”, some people go to elaborate lengths to misrepresent themselves online and “hook” you into relationship. Eventually meeting the imposter can be heartbreaking and worse.

Julie Ferman, eLove’s Chief Relationship Expert, founder of Cupid’s Coach, and recipient of iDate’s Best Matchmaker award for the fourth consecutive year, shares five steps to help avoid this cruel deception:

Avoid the “bait and switch”. Photos that look too good to be true probably are. Those looking to deceive have no qualms about letting you believe they look like the image they have shared. They want to draw you in, and the easiest way to do so is by misrepresenting themselves with an attractive image that often doesn’t resemble the real person in the slightest.

Play the sleuth, if you haven’t already. Cross-reference your date’s information on his/her Facebook page with Twitter, their personal blog or with a professional page such as LinkedIn. If they make a claim that they hold a high profile job, visit that company’s website to see if staff is listed. At the very least, do a simple Google or white page search for your date to verify if they even live in the town, or the state, that they say they do.

Let video speak the truth. Seek authentication. Forgo chatting online via Facebook and encourage video chatting online via FaceTime, Skype, Gmail or iGoogle.

Meet in person. Period. There really is no valid excuse for carrying on a relationship with someone for longer than two weeks and not meeting in person. If all your suggestions of meeting in person and/or video chatting online are skillfully avoided and something always comes up which prevents the two of you meeting, then you should be very concerned and seriously consider ending the relationship.

Assume the best, prepare for the worst. Most people are good, honorable and safe to meet. Don’t be so cautious that you wall yourself off in your closet. Have the courage to get out there, attend events, meet up at business functions and online too. But do take these precautions to protect yourself in case you stumble upon a predator as they are indeed out there.

“No one likes to be deceived or ‘catfished’. A successful relationship is based on a number of things, but most important are: spending time (in person) together, truthfulness, honesty, respect and ultimately, the concern or care you have for that other person. Misrepresentation plays no role in a successful relationship,” explained Ms. Ferman.

She continued, “When it comes to helping others meet, find love and enjoy a successful long-term relationship, we take steps to ensure authenticity. Prior to making an introduction, we meet face-to-face with both parties and verify their identity. Then we go to great lengths to get to know each member and introduce them to qualified matches. After each date, we obtain feedback from both parties immediately.”

Oh, Canada! eLove Matchmaking opens matchmaking offices in Mississauga, Edmonton and Calgary.

EDMONTON, AB, CALGARY, AB, MISSISSAUGA, ON AND NORWELL, MA USA…

eLove Matchmaking, one of the world’s largest professional introduction services, recently opened matchmaking offices in Mississauga, Edmonton and Calgary.

Headquartered in Norwell, Massachusetts, eLove Matchmaking has more than 50 offices in 26 states in the United States. The three new offices are the only eLove Matchmaking offices presently in Canada.

“We’ve had our eye on opening offices in Canada for quite some time and we’re thrilled to be opening up these three offices with hopes of adding more down the road,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove Matchmaking. “Love is truly an international language and we believe the matchmaking techniques that have been so successful for clients in the States will work just as well in the great white north.”

eLove Matchmaking’s Canadian offices are located at:

  • Mississauga –  4257 Sherwoodtowne Blvd, Suite 300, Mississauga, ON,
    888-408-6914
  • Edmonton – 9856 89 Avenue, Edmonton, AB, 888-408-6914
  • Calgary – 1842 14th Street SW, Calgary, AB, 888-408-6914

eLove Matchmaking works with singles age 21 to 70. The process starts with clients filling out a detailed questionnaire that delves into what they are looking for in a relationship. The eLove matchmaker then conducts an interview with the client to review their answers and further clarify what they might be looking for in a mate.

“In an ordinary dating scenario with somebody you met on your own or online, it might take five to 10 dates to find out what that person wants and is looking for,” said Falzone. “Because of our interview process, singles have more knowledge about the person they are dating from day one—what they like, what they want, etc. This removes much of the guesswork so singles are meeting people who they are more compatible with and have a better chance of making a connection.”

In addition to a thorough interview process, eLove Matchmaking also conducts a mandatory background check for the safety of everyone they match.

“There’s a reason we’ve been able to match thousands of singles in our three decades in business: what we do works,” said Falzone. “I simply can’t wait for our first Canadian wedding.”

Valentine’s Day is around the corner. eLove Matchmaker explains true meaning of Romance

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove Matchmaking

The first Valentine greeting was sent by a priest known as Valentine in third century Rome to his jailor’s daughter, whom he fell in love with while in prison. How could such an endearing message of love evolve into the parade of elaborate gifts and hype of today?

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove Matchmaking, one of the largest professional introduction companies in the world, explains, “A candlelit dinner and a dozen roses is a sweet gesture, but everybody does it. Dining out has become commonplace. The true meaning of romance lies in originality. Your ‘message of love’ has to be personal and really mean something to the recipient.”

Falzone gives examples of a few romantic gestures that may give you some of your own creative ideas:

Say it with flowers – all year long. You know your sweetheart loves white hydrangeas no matter what the season. Arrange a monthly delivery of her favorite flower for a full year with your florist, with the first delivery beginning on Valentine’s Day. Not telling her that she’ll receive a beautiful arrangement every month is part of the romantic surprise.

Say “you’re special to me” by knowing what s/he likes the most. Maybe she loves live theater, but always seems to miss out on shows because she waits until the last minute to get tickets. Get her season tickets and then escort her.

Support his/her dreams. Perhaps he mentioned that mountain climbing was something he always dreamed about doing. You don’t need to climb the mountain with him, but you might give him a piece of equipment he’ll need to do it or a membership to a climbing club. Supporting his dreams is romantic.

Revisit a special place. On your third date, you went on a picnic on a hill overlooking the town and watched the sunset. That’s the day when you both knew you were serious about each other. You may not be able to recreate the entire scene, but it’s romantic to do it again in honor of that special day.

“Giving jewelry or other big ticket gifts on Valentine’s Day seems to be the norm, but romance is a little more than that. It’s easy to go a store and buy a gift. It’s more about knowing your sweetheart and making a very personal gesture. It’s going out of your way to let them know they are special to you,” said Falzone.

First Marriage of the Year – January 1, 2012, thanks to eLove

She knew it was love when they shared desserts of cheesecake and apple crisp on their first date at the Piccadilly Pub in Foxboro.

Soon thereafter, Kathy Jones, 51, a Quincy resident and Edward P. Mathers, 58, an Attleboro resident, became perhaps the first newlyweds of the New Year when they tied the knot on January 1, at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Hingham. More than 100 were in attendance.

The wedding, the second for both the bride and the groom, was a family affair and included the daughter of the bride, Kimberly P. Jones as the maid of honor and Kathy’s brother William Long walked her walked her down aisle.

Other participating family including grandson Gabriel Jones, 4, who served as the ring bearer; niece Brianne Killcommons, 5, as flower girl; niece Mary Lou Long assisted with a reading and son Mathew Jones served as an usher. Best man was Ron Stokes, a long-time friend of the groom.

The bride wore a bright red gown which she noted represents “a second chance at love.”

The couple met through eLove, the nation’s largest office-based dating service. Kathy commented, “The dating service was wonderful. They were very responsive and offered great tips and advice to make me more comfortable on my dates. Bless them. I would have never met Edward without their help.”

Kathy continued, “They really matched us well. We have so much in common including a love for outdoor sports – kayaking and biking. We even went on our first camping trip with my family in July. Sometimes we just stay in and get cozy watching movies. Just spending time together is a pleasure.”

Kathy added, “We are very open about meeting through a dating service. In fact, the massage therapist who I saw prior to the wedding ceremony was also married off by eLove. And Ed’s tuxedo rental clerk also met his wife through eLove. We took these as very good signs.”

The newly minted New Year’s couple planned to honeymoon in Portsmouth and North Conway, NH prior to settling in Attleboro.

Looking for a few good men. eLove announces Over-40 Men’s Division for singles re-entering the dating game.

NORWELL, MASSACHUSETTS… 

As astronauts prepare to re-enter the earth’s atmosphere, they put on a special suit. This suit not only takes into account the climate change, but the condition of their bodies after a difficult journey. The newly single 40-something male does not have that luxury to ease their re-entry into the dating world. That’s why eLove, one world’s largest professional matchmaking services, recently created a special division to cater to the needs of newly single men over 40.

“When you come out of a divorce or breakup and you haven’t been on a date in a while, it can feel like you are on another planet where you don’t speak the language and all the rules of society have changed,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove. “With this new division, our matchmakers can provide male singles over 40 with a bit of a refresher course on dating and also help them mentally prepare to date once again.”

Some of that guidance involves going over the unspoken rules of dating, like: who picks up the tab; when and how often to call or text; should you kiss her goodnight on the first date, second?; how long should you date someone before becoming intimate; etc. Yet the real focus of the new division is mental preparation

“A lot of men who are over 40 and single again have not been single for quite some time. On top of that, many weren’t fathers and singles and that does change how you go about things,” said Falzone.

Whether you use a matchmaking company or not, Falzone recommends: 

  • Going slow – perhaps it’s a cliché, but a divorce is a life-altering event and you do need some time to heal.
  • Avoid the bar scene – Getting out with friends and co-workers as a way to re-enter the social scene but don’t do it as a way to meet potential dates.
  • Get fit – Being ready to date again means feeling good about yourself. Starting an exercise program or going to a gym can begin that process of feeling good about  you again.
  • Be wary of dating at work – it’s natural for you to be close to people you work with, particularly if they’ve helped you through a tough time. Just be careful before entering into a relationship or even dating somebody at the office.
  • Networking – While being set up might not be your idea of getting back into the dating game, if you’re looking it couldn’t hurt to let people in your social or professional network know that you are interested in meeting new people.
  • The ex – It’s safe to say that dwelling on the ex will not do much good in dating new people. Just remember that you’re dating again for you, not to get back at him/her or to find somebody before he or she does.
  • Take your time before introducing your dates to friends and, especially family – if you think your divorce is an adjustment for you, it’s also one for family, friends and your children. Wait before introducing your date to them, especially the children.
  • No overnight guests – If you have children, wait a significant amount of time before having any overnight guests—at least until your date is something more serious and has had a chance to form some kind of a relationship with your kids.

“At 40, we’re supposed to be wiser to the ways of the world. But the dating world can be an entirely different world,” said Falzone. “With our new division, over 40 single males have not only the opportunity to meet the right person, but to have the information and be in the right mindset to make that love connection happen.”

Know a Great Single Dad? Nominate Him as eLove’s “America’s Favorite Single Dad”

eLove’s Paul A. Falzone weighs in on Emotional Affairs

Matters of the heart –

An emotional affair, which often masquerades as a friendship, can happen whether you’re single, married or in a committed relationship.

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove, one of the world’s largest matchmaking services, shares his insight about what constitutes emotional fidelity and the telltale signs of an emotional affair of someone who is in a committed relationship.

According to Falzone, “The best way to explain emotional fidelity is to explain what constitutes emotional infidelity. Technically, this is when you choose not to or you’re unable to share your emotions, thoughts and feelings with your significant other, yet you share them with someone else of the opposite sex. Although you’re not having a physical affair, you are being emotionally intimate with someone other than your partner.”

Emotional infidelity is not simple flirting. But, it can begin with flirting, as that is how many relationships develop. That casual banter with a co-worker may turn in to flirting and something more serious and emotionally involved as time goes on.

To be emotionally faithful is to not betray your partner. You know your partner better than anyone else; what his or her needs are and how he or she feels about everything. If you’re sharing special thoughts, feelings, ambitions or dreams with someone other than him or her, then you are knowingly being emotionally unfaithful and trust has been broken.

Here are a few examples of emotional fidelity that will help keep you in check:

You receive good (or bad) news, whether it relates to work, health, finances, friends or family and you’re excited to share it with your significant other (as opposed to someone else of the opposite sex).

You have a problem with your partner and you want to discuss it with your partner (and not someone else of the opposite sex).

You have a new idea or dream or you’re considering making a change in your life and the only person you discuss it with is the one whose got your back – your partner.

“To be cognizant of what is an isn’t emotional fidelity is half the battle. If you feel you can talk with, or that you are closer to, that ‘friend’ than you are to your significant other, then that’s a sure sign that your relationship needs attention,” noted Falzone.
