I just spat my cornflakes out!Well he sounds like a right catch
Has anyone seen the occasional profile where the bloke has had professional photos taken? Clearly for the sole purpose of putting them on their dating profile? 
I'm not sure if you see it so much on the apps these days, but in the olden days of Match.com, etc, you'd see it quite a bit.
I remember a thread on Digital Spy where a bloke was asking for tips about creating a dating profile. Somebody piped up recommending he find a good photographer to take some professional pics. Then a load of posters agreed with this! I think there was only one voice a reason (a woman) who said it was the last thing he should do. Basically because they are so cringe and fake. Couldnt agree more.

I started speaking to a guy on Hinge a few days ago and have migrated over to Whatsapp. Itās very anonymous which makes me suspicious immediately. He doesnāt have a picture on there and his name is just his first initial, not his full name. Immediately makes me think itās a second phone
I am sure I have been on at least two dates with married men. One told me he had a work mobile and then a personal one. I was given his work number first then he added me on WhatsApp on his personal number. He dumped me after two dates and I could tell he blocked me on both numbers. I later found him on Instagram and he had photos with his daughter who he failed to mention.I started speaking to a guy on Hinge a few days ago and have migrated over to Whatsapp. Itās very anonymous which makes me suspicious immediately.

The second guy - we arranged the date on Hinge. It was such a nice date too and ended up being quite expensive. He paid for it! It was after the date we exchanged numbers. I sent him a WhatsApp (he had no photo or name) and he replied. I then sent him something else and he had blocked me.
I'm so cautious now although who truly knows.. anyone can hide anything.
I'm inclined to agree your guy is dodgy!
Thatās all the convincing I needed 
Iām blocking him.

Was that days later or on the same day?!
I actually do have a professional photo on my profile, from when I did some 'modelling' for a friend. All clothed, natural and very classy! But I just keep it to one pic - if I had all of them from the same day in the same outfit, that would be cringe. I've definitely seen a few men do it, but you can tell they aren't naturals in front of the camera because they pull weird poses trying to look interesting 'ooh here's me in a record shop, I like music' 'oooh here's me near a dog, look how caring I am'Has anyone seen the occasional profile where the bloke has had professional photos taken?

That said, I do have a bit of a thing for actors, so if I see a headshot, I'm in there immediately
My match on bumble has given me his number. Iāve put it in WhatsApp and he has no pic. His profile is real I think as we have matched previously but never chatted. But itās not a verified profile 
could it be because heās not added my number on WhatsApp too and thatās why I canāt see a pic?

Someone on bumble tried to video call me today. I was at work and my Fitbit started vibrating and my phone said ābumble videoā but It only lasted a a few seconds and stopped. It doesnāt tell me who it was 
So itās one of 4 matches that Iām chatting to. Has anyone on here done a bumble video call??

Days later. Sent a nice messaging asking how he was and how his week was going and I was blocked!Was that days later or on the same day?!
God iām losing the will with hinge. Two guys have said letās meet up, fancy coming over to mine for a drink? Maybe some girls do, but Iād be too scared going over some guys house Iād never met before. I think itās rude of them to assume thatās ok to be honest. and also covid?!? Just makes me think they must have asked so many girls. None of them seem to care about covid at all. I actually ask them what they did for new years to see if theyāre a twit or not and most have replied saying āI had a house party ooops 
ā. Then another guy gave me creepy vibes after chatting for 2 days, so I didnāt reply, he than tried to call me, then matched with me on tinder and messaged me saying wow youāre beautiful, he must have known it was the same girl. Some guys are so weird.

Iāve just had a proper look at his profile
Not a chance.

I don't know if this makes sense but do you feel that you find it harder and harder to know if you like someone or if you are making do? I guess if I am thinking about making do then I am. Sometimes I think I'm just being picky or I don't even know what I'm looking for sometimes.
I've been on a few walks with a guy and at first I really liked him but I have suddenly developed the "ick" and I don't even know why?! There's nothing wrong with him. I need to end it and I feel a bit bad but hey ho.

I totally get this. I havenāt dated since summer 2019 but need to get back out there. Iām dreading it but Iām not getting any younger!! I met someone on Tinder in Septā 19, chatted for a week and it was great but when we met I wasnāt sure, didnāt immediately fancy him and thought we were too different, I was honest with him but felt maybe I was being too picky. We met a few more times and I grew to like him more but still didnāt think we were that compatible. We ended up being together a year and I did fall in love with him and I do think heās great but obviously not meant to be. There were certain traits that still really annoyed me about him and I kept thinking we had too many differences to make it last although he told me we didnāt and we were very well suited. We had a very rocky year, his mental health plus lockdown not helping anyone, and we ended up breaking up in October but I do now think maybe I was right all along and shouldāve nipped it in the bud from the beginning. Itās really difficult to know though as I donāt think you know theyāre the one straight away and things take time, but your gut instinct is usually right.
I definitely feel like Iām allowing myself to settle because I honestly donāt think Iāll find anyone on an app I will click with. I donāt hold myself in any kind of light or think Iām better than these men by the way, Iām just fussy and particular. Breaking up with my long term bf really messed me up and itās only really taken me until now, 3 years later to get over him. It actually freak me out to imagine having that closeness with anyone else, tbh. Probably why Iām so half arsed when it comes to chatting on apps cos I have a barrier and have only have flings since I broke up with my ex.
At least youāve been putting yourself out there! I went on a walking date in November and he was only interested in having some fun and nothing serious! His words!!
