A friend of mine sent some screenshots of a tinder profile that had an Active badge (meaning profile was online in the past 2 hours), and it was verified.
The profile had a bunch of photos of my boyfriend and when I asked my him about that and he swore it's a fake profile saying it's not the first time finds a fake profile with his pictures, and he also said he deleted his Tinder account a long time ago.
I found out that the profile was last live! 3 killometers away from his home which is quite far even for innacurate GPS.
Anyway, I found all of this weird because verified profiles require selfies with specific gestures. The profile also had a lot of his real hobbies and personality traits, his college course, his profession and etc. If the profile is really a fake one, it was created by someone who definitely knows him.
Things got a little worse I asked him to download tinder and login with his account. To me he would download it and show that he doesn't have an account, or if he did, it was innactive and that the other one was indeed a fake account. However he denied me this saying that relationships are based on trust and that I had to trust him, specially because it's not the first time that I suspect him and get proved wrong and he was tired of having to prove things.
Now I don't know what to do… I love him and I wanna trust him, but the profile was very convincing (many photos, perfect description and hobbies, verified). He could have spent just 5mins to show me his account and shut me up, but instead he came with that trust talk. The only thing he did was showing me that all the photos that the profile had were available on his instagram at some point, since last year, meaning someone could have used them.
Another behaviour that I found weird was the he didn't even bother about the verified fake profile using his photos. I mean, who doesn't get upset with this? I offered him to help find the fake profile and he didn't show any interest at all.
What would you do? Should I ignore this and blindly trust him?
Update:
The profile existed for at least 6 months, which is very hard achievement for a fake profile. I know this because a friend already chatted with that profile in january.
The funniest part is that right after I left my boyfriend at his home, the profile suddenly gets deleted.
What a coincidence right? A 6 months old fake profile being deleted at the exact same day I confronted my boyfriend about that. LOL
