'Romeo Pimps' or 'loverboys' are individuals who actively seek for younger individuals male or female with intent to make them fall in love. By doing so the 'loverboy' can gain leverage or control and use the individual for exploitment in the sex industry. Although this method takes time therefore, is less commonly used does not mean it is gone. 'Loverboys' methods are evolving due to social media. These 'loverboys' have access to young individuals' online profiles like anyone else; which allows them to gain lots of personal information and build a case and/or connection with their chosen target.

The 'loverboy' has now made a connection with the younger individual and agrees to go on excursions and romantic getaways. Which is where the 'loverboy' makes his or her move on the victim. If they traveled the 'loverboy' takes his change and confiscates the individual's passport and/or form of identification. Which then makes the individual trapped and typically passes him or her off to the next trafficker.
