Total Newbie Hobbyist, frustrations/question

[LuckyGTR]

Hi guys, I am a total newbie at this. Out of a 13yr relationship and not ready to date, but dying for companionship and a release.
Unfortunately, I have what I think is a common problem but didn't find it in the FAQs or by search.
Every companion I am interested in requires verification, but the only way I know to get verified is by a companion.. Chicken and egg problem.
There are obviously other companions that will allow other forms of verification than being a verified OH2 member, but so far, none that I've seen so far do it for me.
So how have others fixed this problem? Hire a companion I'm not attracted to just to get verified?

When I first started, had the same problem. I went thru p411. Was a little hesitant at first, but was very professional process, IMO. Drop membership after I establish myself.
