Tips Before Meeting a Person You Met Online
Diane Cantrell
With the increasing interest in the online dating market, it's a necessity to be as educated about someone as possible before meeting them in person. Here are some tips on how to get information to check out.
First, try to get the person's cell phone number. This shouldn't be a problem if you are serious enough about each other to consider meeting. If you have their cell phone number you can run a check of it by selecting number two at PublicRecordsFindPeople.com. This service will show you the name and address of the person who owns the cell phone. If this name matches the person you've been speaking with online, great, continue to the next bullet. If not, you may want to reconsider meeting right away until you find out why this person isn't being honest about the cell phone number or what the explanation behind it is.
Try also to get his/her birthday (month, day and year). You could say something in your online discussion like you're an astrology buff (which most of us women are anyway). The more information you have about this person to run a public records search on the better.
So now that you have this person's name, address, and date of birth you can go to PublicRecordsFindPeople.com (link at the bottom of this article), and you can select from any of the other four options there to get all the background information you want on this person. As I said, the more information you have to run the search the better just to confirm they are pulling up information on the right person and since you probably won't want to ask this person their social security number, the next best thing will be their birthday.
It's a big, scary world out there and while there are many (mostly) honest people out there just trying to find love as you are, there are some that are just up to no good and you want to find this out before meeting them! If much of the information that you uncover doesn't match what the person is saying and/or just doesn't feel right, please move on. Don't expect someone that's up to no good online to feel obligated in any way to have to explain why things don't match up. Someone that is truly being honest won't have things to hide or things that 'just don't match up.'
Good luck in your search for true love. It's out there you just have to be mindful and careful when looking! Diane
