Online Dating Safety 101 with SearchDetective.com

Boy, am I ever fed up with online dating! I’ll bet all single women out there can relate to the source of my frustration – no one, but NO ONE seems to say what they mean and mean what they say! Yet, what choice do we have, a girl’s gotta get some action somehow, right?

I used to be the person least concerned with safety, writing off all that precaution stuff as paranoia. Lately though, I’m starting to feel that it is I who is being reckless, and it just isn’t an option any more. It doesn’t matter if you are on “quality” (read: expensive) sites or Craigslist – the creeps are everywhere.

You’re lucky if all they lie about is looking for a “serious monogamous relationship”, and they ALL lie about that. The Internet is a meat market, and trust me, they are on it for quantity, not quality. That’s the least of our problems though, because increasingly I hear scary stories about convicted rapists, pervs and psychos posing as nice guys in search of their next prey.

That’s why I’ve decided it’s time to grow up and do some preliminary investigation BEFORE I end up hurt or dead, instead of just disappointed. I kept hearing the buzz about these cool background check tools on SearchDetective.com that can help find out if the person you met online is who he really says he is. So, I decided to check it out. Just type in his name and the state you’re in, and it’s all there! Right down to his criminal record, marital status, address, phone number, occupation and income. Cool, right? Wait, it gets better. What if he is giving you a fake name? They’ve got a remedy against that, too! All you need is the phone number on your caller ID, and with the service known as Reverse Phone Lookup, you can find out who is really calling you!
Only then, once you know the guy is in the clear, feel free to proceed with the date, and enjoy your regular garden-variety frustration; in one piece.
