You can try but it's very hard. You can ask specific questions...and them ask them again months later..to see if you get the same answer. The more ways you can figure out, if some one is honest from long distance contact the better. Make sure you send me those techniques when you find them!! Good luck and God bless!!!
I trust everyone until proven different. I am a basically honest person and deal from a point of trust. There are more honest people on the dating sites than the scammers; however, we are taught to fear them. Well I refuse to fear the unknown. You are a nice person until you are not.

I'm like you John - because I'm honest I expect everyone else to be straight with me. My sister calls me naive but I don't see the point in lying because it all comes out sooner or later.

But for a romantic interest, it takes meeting in person, and getting to go visit them too. For friendship, it works fine.
And I agree with Ruben...their consistency will tell you if they're being real or not. I've gone into threads and answered them, not realizing they were old threads and I'd been there before, only to go back and discover that I wrote almost exactly what I did the first time months previously.
