Googling a Potential Date
I have to say, sometimes I am the master at finding out information on people. When I know I’m going on a date with a new guy, I will find out their full name so I can go searching. And when I am out on that date, if I haven’t searched for them yet, I carefully listen to any details I can use for later on.
There are many places online to go to search for someone and you don’t have to pay. My first stop is usually the criminal and civil website, so I can see what/if crimes were committed and possibly any lawsuits they had against them.
For example, one guy I recently went out with, I didn’t know his last name, but saw it on one of his paychecks that he showed me. So I looked up the usually websites I look at for my county, and didn’t find anything there.
So then he mentioned to me once about how he used to live in Florida, so I checked the Florida Dept. of Corrections. Jackpot. I found his whole list of crimes and convictions and his picture was even listed on the site.
Not only did I find out all of that, I also saw that he lied about his age. Does that deter me though? Not all the time. But I do know that there would be no way I’d ever get serious with this liar/loser.
So sometimes checking up on your potential date CAN help you if you know where to look.
