Hi y'all. New to the forum (been a lurker for a bit) and new to hiring. Late bloomer. 40 yr old virgin would not be a far stretch. There seems to be a lot of catfishing and TGTBT ads out there. 3 of the 4 times I've met up with someone, the person showing up has not be the one in the pics. All 3 were certainly nothing you would kick out of bed. Far from it. All were attractive. However, each time it has happened, I lose interest. Spend more time obsessing about it rather than enjoying the experience. Hate the feeling of being had or tricked (no pun intended). What is the best way to verify someone is who they are so you don't waste your time and energy (much less money)? I've contacted a few guys that have caught my eye. I ask for a selfie with them holding up a certain number of fingers or a note with a phrase I give them. All say sure no problem....and then crickets. Love to hear what you do that works well. Looking to learn. Thanks!
