Do you use real names on dating sites? If not, at what point do you share real name with your match?

I always use my real name. Why use a fake one? Not like your giving them your last name as well.

If you lie about your name and then say you were, the other person will be skeptical and think you’re lying about other things.

What app is that 😳

Always! What is the point of lying, as then they will wonder about what else you are lying about. It's one thing if you normally go by your middle name, but you use your first name, or a shortened version of your legal name. But a completely different name is silly. Definitely don't give out my last name until we have been seeing each other for a while as I have had some stalkers in the past

Stir. It's part of Match, but for single parents.

Ahh yeah, I’ve seen some cases in Match in which they use weird names. I steer clear of those profiles 😅

Hmm 🤔I might join. I’m not a parent, but I wouldn’t be opposed to meeting a single mom.

Yes. That's the first indication that you are seriously searching for a relationship. And I agree with SM1.

Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.
