Online dating has taken over for many when looking for love, often with people one has never actually met before. This raises the question, what if they are not who they say they are?

MTV’s new documentary TV show, Catfish, brings couples together that have taken the route of online dating. After weeks or months of talking, these romantics have fallen for one another. What will it be like when they meet for the first time?

In each episode, the star of the movie Catfish, Nev Schulman, and filmmaker Max Joesph, guide and help hopeful romantic partners discover the truth about their significant other. When the first date comes, only one thing is definite; joy, mystery, and even shock will be about.

cat·fish [kat-fish] verb
To pretend to be someone you’re not online by posting false information, such as someone else’s pictures, on social media sites usually with the intention of getting someone to fall in love with you.
