When it comes to free online dating, there are more than a few men enamored with Colombian women.
So much so that they feel like the only chance of happiness that they have is with these women and they decide to
move forward like charging bulls.
But the difference between these men and bulls is that bulls might actually be able to see red, whereas some men
voluntarily become colorblind when confronted with the color. But not seeing red when it appears can lead to fairly
disastrous consequences.
Sometimes however, there are ways to recognize what should have been a glaring red flag when you’re online dating. There are a few things to look out for when dating over the
internet so you don’t become part of the negative bits of online dating statistics. While your initial results can
be encouraging to some extent, there are also times when you can end up with a broken heart at best and maybe
something a little more grievous than a broken heart at worst.
If those red flags are spotted, then the person who is waving those red flags can then be avoided. If such a person
is avoided, you’ll likely be happier with your romantic life in the long run.
- Lack of Social Media Presence
Lots of people, particularly young people, have an affinity for
social media. It comes with having grown up during a time when the internet went from being a luxury to
being a part of everyday life. So it is somewhat suspect when someone does not have any kind of online presence
outside of their dating profile.
Basically, if the only place that you can find a particular person is on the dating site that you are
using, that can be a bit of a red flag. After all, having a digital footprint is kind of part and parcel of
being alive in the modern day.
So if they are not on the internet, then maybe you should move on to someone who is. Sure, there are people who
are not all that active online, but there are some risks that are better not taken.
- Reverse Image Search
There’s one good way to check to see if a profile on a dating website is legit or not and that’s to do a simple
image search on someone’s pictures. All it takes is a right click and then a drop-down menu with an option to
search for the image appears. Clicking that option normally leads to a new page that will probably have the
source of the image.
If the image on the profile is stolen from another website or is a stock image, then finding the source will be
a great way to avoid disaster.
- An Abundance of Pet Names
Pet names are a pretty common thing in relationships and Colombian women are not going to be
any different. The problem lies in the overuse of pet names. Sometimes, a deceitful person will use pet names so
as not to confuse one partner from another.
They use pet names because they do not want to use the wrong name with the wrong person. Basically, if the
woman that you’re with never actually says your name, then that’s a bit of a bad sign for the relationship
overall.
So call her by her name and see if she reciprocates. Then see if she ever uses her name during any of your
conversations. If she doesn’t, then maybe you’re not the only man she has to keep track of.
- Too Many Gifts
It is not uncommon for men and women to buy gifts for their partners. Buying your partner a gift is a natural,
but not required, part of a relationship. Anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions, and even random days are
all opportunities to get something for your partner.
But sometimes, there can be a little too much giving and the expectation of gifts becomes ingrained in the
relationship. Sometimes, it is that expectation of gifts that is the basis for the relationship at all.
Sometimes, a person begins a relationship with another person with the expectation that they will be
compensated in material terms. As far as red flags go, that’s a pretty bright one and it is flying
high.
So if you find yourself a little out of pocket because she keeps asking for more and more from you, maybe it’s
time to find someone who is willing to give as much as they take.
- Excuses, Excuses
Dating a Colombian girl may come with some distance,
especially if she lives in Colombia. All the online dating articles you’ve read have likely gotten you ready to
deal with the distance in your relationship.
But maybe some of them are going to be evasive when it comes to the topic of visiting. Any long distance
relationship established online requires the couple to meet in person in order to take the relationship to the
next level.
If you meet someone who comes up with excuse after excuse as to why she couldn’t meet with you, that is a
telltale sign that she doesn’t feel the same way. If you buy her a ticket, she misses her flight. If you buy
yourself a ticket, then an emergency comes up and she won’t be able to spend any time at all with you.
Basically, if there is nothing but excuses for why the two of you cannot be together, then that is a good sign
that you should stop pursuing this woman. So maybe take the hint and move on.
Look, no one said that dating on the internet was going to be one hundred percent secure. Nothing in life is
one hundred percent secure. There are going to be times when you encounter unsavory elements.
The trick is recognizing these red flags before they can be a factor that negatively impacts your life.
Sometimes these telltale signs can come from Colombian women (or people who pretend to be). You
should be mindful of these people because they want to take what they can from you or string you along for the
fun of it.
