Hi, I’m 56 newly back in the dating world and let’s just say it’s not like it used to be i matched with someone on media who seemed a little too perfect so i got curious and looked up been verified reviews to see if it could help so i  gave it a try and searched his name and state, turns out, he had a different middle name and a divorce he never mentioned not the worst thing, but still shady at least i knew he wasn’t using fake photos

BeenVerified didn’t give me every answer, but it helped me spot red flags and trust my gut.

I have always believed in trusting your intuition, but sometimes a little confirmation helps when i noticed that the guy i was chatting with seemed too polished i decided to do a quick background check through BeenVerified, i did not expect it to uncover much but even the small things like a different middle name and an unmentioned divorce made me realize how easily people can hide details online

I think it’s important to use all the tools we have today to protect ourselves especially in the dating world BeenVerified might not have given me every answer but it did help confirm some suspicions Finding out about the unmentioned divorce wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it did show me that i need to keep my eyes open.

Using BeenVerified made me feel like i had a little more control over the dating process the guy i looked up didn’t completely lie, but he wasn’t completely forthcoming either having access to that extra information helped me make a more informed decision and saved me from investing too much time too soon.

I’m a firm believer that everyone deserves a second chance but i also believe in full disclosure i found BeenVerified useful because it brought up details that a person might forget to mention it gave me a chance to ask questions directly and evaluate how honest someone is when confronted with the truth.

In the age of catfishing and fake identities, it just feels safer to verify someone’s details before diving in emotionally i didn’t want to assume the worst but BeenVerified showed me discrepancies that I might not have noticed otherwise. It’s not about snooping it’s about safety and transparency.

Before i used BeenVerified, I felt like i  was taking shots in the dark when it came to trusting people online the experience showed me that being cautious is not the same as being paranoid it helped fill in gaps that made me feel more grounded in my decision making.

I matched with someone recently who checked all the boxes almost too many that’s what triggered my curiosity BeenVerified helped me see through the polish and gave me a clearer picture i didn’t expect it to tell me everything, but what it did reveal made a difference.

The truth is people don’t always present their full selves online i learned this the hard way BeenVerified was a helpful tool that added some context to what I was already feeling it showed me that even seemingly minor inconsistencies could be worth looking into.

Even though i didn’t find anything explosive, the little things I did uncover were still enough to raise an eyebrow BeenVerified helped me balance curiosity and caution without going overboard in a world of filters and polished profiles, it gave me a much needed reality check.

It’s easy to feel silly or overreactive when you question someone’s story in the early stages of dating but BeenVerified helped validate those gut feelings it didn’t solve everything, but it gave me more information than i had and that helped me move forward with more confidence.

One thing i have learned is that being skeptical doesn’t mean being cynical BeenVerified was just one of the tools i used to approach dating with a little more strategy it didn’t answer every question, but it certainly helped me ask better ones.

In hindsight, i’m glad i didn’t ignore those tiny red flags BeenVerified helped me confirm that i wasn’t just being paranoid it gave me enough details to see the person more clearly flaws and all which helped me decide how much i was willing to overlook.

I was honestly surprised by how much came up with just his name and state it was not anything scandalous but there were definitely details he never mentioned it made me realize how much people can leave out, even in early conversations.

There was something that didn’t sit right with me and using BeenVerified helped confirm those feelings seeing actual data gave me more confidence to trust my gut and made me feel like i was not overthinking things after all.
