Frieda Joya month agoI’m a 37-year-old man living in New York City, currently seeking a life partner. Recently, I matched with a woman (36) from Eastern Europe on a dating app, and we quickly connected. Our relationship has progressed faster than I anticipated, with discussions around living together, future plans, and even marriage. While I’m excited, I can’t help but feel things might be moving too quickly. I’ve heard concerns about people using relationships for green cards or financial gain, and I want to ensure her intentions are genuine. She seems wonderful, but I’m trying to be cautious and not let my emotions cloud my judgment. Here’s what I’ve done so far to verify her authenticity: I found her LinkedIn profile with 500+ connections, indicating a professional presence. I discovered her Facebook profile, where she has real photos and posts from her past, showing a consistent online presence. We’ve had a video call, which confirmed that her face matches her photos. Some additional context: She’s mentioned that she wants to move to the U.S. for our relationship, though it’s not a condition. She’s shared personal stories about her work, family, and past relationships, which seem believable, but I still want to tread carefully. I haven’t met her in person yet, but I’m planning a trip to her country soon to meet her and her family before making any major decisions. What more can I do to verify her intentions and ensure she’s genuinely interested in building a life together? Are there specific questions I should ask, behaviors I should observe, or steps I should take during this process? I’m not asking whether I should pursue this or not, but rather for actionable suggestions on how to gather more information about her in order to make an informed decision. Thanks in advance for your help!152
