36 day 10 smelly lemons π 72 fat ohs 26 zephyr Catfishes disappearβ¦a lot Itβs fine not to be in constant contact, but if the object of your affection regularly disappears for days β even weeks β at a time, then they may well be a catfish. Everyone gets busy, but if theyβre pulling regular vanishing acts then they probably have something else going on. Maybe theyβre already involved in another relationship, or maybe theyβre still going back and forth with their ex. Either way, if youβre not getting their full attention, then they might be catfishing you. Their social media isnβt very social Even the most reluctant Facebook user typically still gets tagged in their friendsβ photos, has people share funny gifs to their wall and receives birthday messages, so, if their page looks suspiciously sparse then you might want to ask some questions. The number of friends they have can also be a big give-away; anything less than 100 is worth investigating further, and if you see the same people posting over and over again then it may be worth checking out their profiles too, just in case! Catfishes wonβt Skype, Facetime, or even Snapchatβ¦ Thanks to technology, itβs never been easier to have a face-to-face conversation with someone, even if youβre miles apart. If the person youβre talking to has a laptop or a smartphone, then itβs very likely that theyβll have easy access to some kind of video chat. Of course, not everyone is tech-savvy so you might want to cut them some slack, but if theyβre point-blank refusing to try while simultaneously posting a series of selfies on Instagram, then you could have a catfish on your hands. Theyβre an expert storyteller Everyone loves a good storyteller β after all, thereβs nothing better than finding yourself on a first date with someone who can tell a good tale. But when the stories start getting more outlandish, and their excuses even wilder, itβs time to ask yourself whether theyβre telling you the whole truth. Someone always being ready with a convenient story is a tell-tale sign of catfishing. Look out for those stories that donβt completely add up β itβs been their Grandmaβs birthday three times this year, for example β https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLzwiOAOoT/?igshid=1x4wusxfo59h9
