It is always difficult to know exactly how much somebody is bending the truth when you get chatting to them via an online dating site.

After all, everybody wants to appear at their very best, so it is hard to work out what else might be lurking beneath the surface of their profile.

The Chicago Sun-Times has told the story of Carol, who set up a date with a man who described himself as a tall lawyer who liked to walk on the beach and travel.

However, he failed to mention that he was in a wheelchair, leaving Carol feeling deceived and quick to bring an early end to the date.

The news source questioned exactly what lying is on online dating sites, asking whether putting up the best possible picture or listing blue eyes when in fact you have blue contacts are examples of being deceitful.

Perhaps the only way to find out the truth is to meet as many people in person as possible.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801556534-ADNFCR
