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

February 5, 2013 //  by admin

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.”

eLove is All You Need

eLove was honored with four coveted awards from iDate, including Best Matchmaker, Most Innovative Company, Best Dating Coach, and Best Affiliate Program.eLove is the first “life stage company” within the dating industry to provide different levels of dating services, based on how serious singles are about meeting their soul mate.

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

June 10, 2011 //  by admin

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.”

Can you get your man to man up? How to know when you are dating Peter Pan.

April 1, 2011 //  by admin

NORWELL, MASSACHUSETTS…

We laugh at shows like Big Bang Theory where lovable geeks spend weekend nights content to play video games online rather than engage socially with the opposite sex.  Or movies like Knocked Up, where twenty-something males get high and talk about creating the next great skin website while their female contemporaries (Katherine Heigl’s character) work at their careers. While these characters may seem exaggerated, there’s a growing epidemic with males in their twenties and thirties who simply do not want to grow up and engage in adult activities like dating and relationships.

“There does seem to be a real disconnect between many males in that age bracket who are content to hang out with buddies or get involved with the opposite sex but only to take care of their primal needs,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove, one of the world’s largest online dating and matchmaking services. “Unfortunately, many women do get involved with these modern day Peter Pans and invest a lot of time and energy in a relationship that’s really not going anywhere.”

So how do you know if you’re dating a Peter Pan? Males stuck in the Peter Pan syndrome show a number of traits: 

  • Mama’s boy – Peter Pans typically look for partners to do everything for them—cook, clean, etc.
  • Job insecurity – Peter Pans typically don’t hold steady jobs for very long and are all-too-ready to jump the steady paycheck for the next great moneymaking idea.
  • Fidelity – Not a high priority item for a number of Peter Pans. Why? Peter Pans believe the grass is always greener, even if you’ve been dating somebody for a while.
  • No Prince Charming – while Prince Charming came to Cinderella’s rescue, that’s not the case with Peter Pan. Quite the opposite. A Peter Pan never takes responsibility for his own mistakes and often turns to the mother figure to pick up the pieces.
  • My way or the highway – Peter Pans must have things their way. While a 20-something might not throw a fit or sit in a corner holding his breath, the tantrum could manifest itself in other ways, mental and physical.
  • Father figure? – Marrying a Peter Pan and having children with him can be a recipe for disaster. Since Peter Pans is himself like a child, the children will not respect him, in spite of his efforts to be their playmate.
  • Truth vs. fiction – Dating a child-like man creates a quandary as to where truth ends and fiction begins.

So, what do modern-day Wendys do if they start to see the Peter Pan in their man?

“Unfortunately, many women think they can help their child-like men grow up. Truth be told, only Peter Pan can change Peter Pan,” said Falzone. “That’s why it’s extremely important to know what you want out of a relationship before you are actually in one and communicate that with who you are dating. If that’s not important to them, you really need to decide if it’s worth the investment.”

A singles solution…. eLove opens matchmaking office in Edina, Minnesota.

February 24, 2011 //  by admin

EDINA, MINNESOTA AND NORWELL, MASSACHUSETTS…

During a Minnesota winter, you get used to single digits. Yet being single (AKA alone) can make those frigid temperatures seem colder. In an effort to remedy that situation for singles in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul area, eLove, the first company within the dating industry offering both online dating and matchmaking services, recently opened a matchmaking office at 3300 Edinborough Way, Suite 419 in Edina.

“If you’re ready to meet that special someone, the bar scene or many online sites can be every bit as cold as it is outside right now,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove, one of the largest online dating and matchmaking services in the world. “We tailor our matchmaking service towards singles who are sick of the games and are ready to find their soul mate.”

eLove’s formula for helping people find that special somebody has been working for singles for the better part of four decades.

“My wife and I heartily endorse you,” said Roger McDaniel of Eden Prairie, Minnesota. “We just celebrated 23 years of marriage and all because of your company.”

In addition to a brick-and-mortar matchmaking service, eLove also offers online dating services. To find out more, visit www.elove.com. To arrange a consultation with a professional matchmaker or for a membership, contact eLove toll-free at 877–356-8370

Ladies, take charge of Valentine’s Day

January 20, 2011 //  by admin

NORWELL, MASSACHUSETTS…

While Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a day for lovers, it can be a source of frustration for many couples. For women, it can be especially frustrating because their significant other doesn’t put much thought into the day or, worse, labors through Valentine’s Day plans as if it’s another chore on the dreaded “honey-do” list. That’s why many women have adopted a “take charge” approach to Valentine’s Day to recapture the spirit of the day.

“Women tend to expect big things from their partner’s on V-Day, and men often feel obliged to come up big or feel like they are letting someone down. No other holiday brings about the differences between men and women more than Valentine’s Day,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove, one of the world’s largest online dating and matchmaking services. “,” said Paul A. Falzone, “By being proactive leading up to Valentine’s Day, women can actually show their significant other’s how Valentine’s Day  can be a date to be anticipated, not dreaded.”

Here are some strategies Falzone recommends women try to get their sweetie excited about Valentine’s Day:

  • Leave a racy text – Send them a racy text .
  • Mail a card – There’s just something special about receiving a Valentine in the mail—even for a guy. Again, send it early so he receives it with plenty of time to reciprocate. If you want to talk about having a special evening with him on Valentine’s, even better. Yet the focus should really be on how much you appreciate them.
  • E-mail reservations –  If there’s a restaurant, B&B or hotel you’ve been looking to go to, make reservations ahead of time and share it with your mate. Ask him if he wants to go there for Valentine’s.
  • Alternate years for Valentine’s Day planning – Decide to have one of you plan Valentine’s Day activities and alternate years. Does this open the door for him to do nothing when it’s his turn? Possibly. Yet men are competitive and do not like to look bad or be shown up. So, if you show him a great Valentine’s Day, the onus is on him to top it the next year. 

“It is quite easy to get stuck in the rut of Valentine’s being the proverbial greeting card holiday,” said Falzone. “The idea behind ladies taking over Valentine’s Day really is to make it a holiday you both enjoy and look forward to.” It’s also recommended that you show each other your appreciation by being thoughtful on the other 364 days of the year!
