I’ve reached a point where I don’t trust these sites; however, I don’t give up easily. If I ask early on to move to a direct text or phone conversation, it’s not because I’m moving too fast, but rather to verify authenticity. While I’m happy to take on the role of providing for someone, I don’t send money prior to an actual in-person meeting. In short, I want to find a trustworthy partner, from a pool that has many of the other type hiding the best catches!
