What's the background of your Date?
Internet dating is now the most popular way for people to meet. Makes
sense in a busy world where people don’t have the time to join an
endless amount of activities in the hopes of meeting someone. But the
one thing these daters need to do is take just a few moments to check
out who they are about to have an intimate meeting with!
Most online
dating services, including the most popular ones, do absolutely no
background checks on members of any kind other than making sure of
their credit card authorization! Anyone can join, including, convicted
murderers, married people, deadbeat parents, burglars, sex offenders,
embezzlers, thieves, repetitive drunk drivers, liars, and scam artists,
to name a few.
The Internet is a playground for many of these
perpetrators. When people are lonely, they make mistakes. Janelle
Armstrong was surprised when her dinner date was interrupted by a woman
crying, ‘How could you,’ with two children calling him ‘daddy!’ After
spending six weeks chatting and emailing with a new beau, Lucille
Hudson, a young lawyer, was certain she had met the man of her dreams.
He was intelligent, cordial, challenging, romantic, and everything she
had hoped for.
There were no ‘signs.’ He finally agreed to meet her at
a local restaurant. When Lucille arrived she was greeted by a group of
howling adolescent males. Seems the love of her life was a fifteen
year-old boy out for kicks. Her humiliation and embarrassment have
lingered and she has not dated for a year since the incident.
While
these cases are not life threatening, many are not so benign. Kacie
Rene Woody, of Conway, Arkansas, met the San Diego, California, man who
killed her, on the Internet. Her body, along with the body of David
Fuller, was found in a van at a storage garage in Arkansas, both
suffering from gunshot wounds. Police suspect that the girl had been
sexually assaulted.
Take just a few moments and check out your potential Mr. Right or Ms.
Right before you meet. Otherwise, you could end up with Mr. or Ms. Very
Wrong!
