The first time you tried to FaceTime them, they were at work. The second, you attempted during their off hours, but they were busy helping their niece with a school

project. And the third time, they actually answered you, but then the call automatically hung up due to what they reassured you was “a bad connection.” The kicker---they never FaceTime

you back.

Come on, son. We’re not dumb-dumbs. #DeadGiveaway

We all go through spurts where we drop off on posting to our social media. But, once you get into a serious relationship, you somehow end up connecting on the

Book. ASAP! You wanna let everyone know you got a new boo! 

If your computer love doesn’t have any embarrassing middle school photos of them on Facebook, but rather, the

same four photos that they have on their Tinder profile, you’re probably getting catfished. #ProceedWithCaution

If they’re over 25, and all of the conversations you have ever had with them have only been through text, you’re definitely messing with a fronter.

Bae is too old

for that. #AintNoFutureInYourFrontin

Not having a Snap Chat profile isn't a red flag by itself. But if the warning signs are adding up, add this one to the pile. You just can't find

them on social media...except for those same 4 pictures. They won't FaceTime you. And now this?!! You even scour your Snap Chat profile to see if their contact number will

pop up as one of your suggested friends, but nope.

It’s almost as if they’re a ghost out here.

They’re too busy to call you on the phone, and for you this is mad fishy, but they blame it on the fact that they just prefer to text.

We’re

calling bulls**t on that one.

Their on-going hints that they are low on funds, shouldn’t be a conversation piece for anyone who hasn’t even been willing to talk to you on the phone.

Wake up

to the deceit!

Their pics look like they’ve modeled on the cover of Essence or GQ. Gahda*n! Anybody that bad would wanna show themselves off any chance they get. #Suspect 

Your gut is telling you that something is off about your mystery love, but nonetheless, you’re drawn in.

We think you should tune in to what your higher self is

probably trying to hip you to.

Back to those 4 pics...and you should be, too. The only 4 pics that they have on Facebook have some people in them, but they’re not tagged. So there’s no

way for you to tell if those are also real people who know your internet babe. Not even a pic with their mama? Yeah, something ain't right.

They’re beyond suspect

at this point.

Every day is an excuse for not hooking up. You’ve seen yourself in the mirror and they’ve seen the pictures. Why wouldn’t they want to meet up to take this

relationship to the next level.

They’re trippin’ and so are you if you continue the relationship. #Next
