So, how do you go about learning who someone is without seeming like you are too nosy?
Will Online Searches Help You Out?
In your efforts to try and determine if the person you are out on a date with may be trouble, will you turn to the Internet?
By going online ahead of time, you could opt for a public people search.
In doing this, assuming you have the full name of the individual, plug it in online and see what turns up. Note that Search Quarry and others provide info on people when one searches on the Internet.
For instance, what if they have a criminal record and did not inform you of this? Would you be more angry or scared when finding out? The bottom line is making sure you know what you are dealing with ahead of time.
