How to spot a fake profile on okcupid?

Hi Majin,

There is obviously no positive way to know she is for real until you meet her. The most important thing is to look for obvious signs. Do her pictures look like they are all professionally shot, have you spoken to her on the phone, does she maybe have a Facebook where you can see real interactions with people she knows, etc.

If you can't do any of this and you still want to meet her, the best thing for you to do would be to suggest a spot in a really public place and meet her there. Online dating can be a fantastic key into finding a relationship or even just friends. However you have to be smart and safe in taking part in it I've done my fair share of online dating and will only meet people in a public spot, whether it's a bar, restaurant, sports game, etc.

Make sure you take all the pre-cautions you can. Be safe and hopefully you'll find someone who's an amazing fit for you!

Good luck!
