Modern technology changes our life every day. We take it for granted and don't even notice how big a role it plays in our daily schedule. We don't see that our life will turn 180 degrees if we are taken into the biggest 21st-century addiction—Internet and all that comes with it. All the websites which you browse in order to find advice and information about issues which concern you, all the social networks which you use to keep in touch with your mates, your e-mail which you use as a more formal way of communication, and finally, online dating websites which have become a normal and socially accepted way of meeting new people. Although a few years ago making friendships with people who you knew only in the virtual world made you look like a geek, you don't have to worry about this anymore. People tend to have less time than they ever had. They seem to be always in a hurry.Getting to know people in the real world requires time and effort. That's why online dating has grown to be a powerful substitute for going to clubs or bars to pick up somebody or just be picked up.
On the other hand, we don't have to worry about any big changes in our world since we believe that nothing will happen to all these websites and we will still be able to enjoy online dating. Unfortunately most of the women who are into online dating don't really care about their safety. They reckon that it's almost impossible to meet a criminal, psycho, or just a sex offender while flirting with guys online. They think that even if it happens to some girl, they will never come across such a situation. For that reason hardly any of these women decide to perform any kind of verification of the person who they are going to meet in the real world. The only thing that most online dating women worry about is whether the guy is as hot as in the pictures which he sent a few days before. No matter how stupid it sounds I have heard a Lithuanian saying: “It's OK while it's OK,” so basically, if the guy you date is a normal person you can be sure that nothing bad will happen, but if the guy's a villain the thing will get dangerous.
There is a very simple and cheap way of verifying the guy you plan to meet. It's a service called reverse cell phone lookup, and you can use it for finding personal details of a person who owns a certain phone number, no matter if it's a wireless or a land line. A good cell phone directory covers all types of numbers, including even VoIP. You may wonder how it can help you, so I will quickly explain how to use a cell phone lookup to make sure that you're safe with your prospective date. Once you arrange a meeting with the guy, you usually take his phone number in case something happens and you have to call off or postpone the rendezvous. So once you have his phone number, you surely know his name as well. It would be strange to talk to somebody and not know his name. So with this information you can verify if he told you his real name. Once you look up his cell phone number and get his real details, you can, for example, google it to see if there’s some sort of information to make you feel suspicious about the guy. You can also check if he's listed in the National Sex Offender Registry to make sure you don't date a sex offender since that can be more than dangerous.
Some people who perform a reverse cell phone lookup to learn some details about their prospective date and can't find anything using ordinary search engines such as Google or Bing, decide to make use of more advanced sorts of lookups. I wouldn't recommend to do this with every person you are going to meet but only with those you don't trust for some reason since your intuition can be right. The service which I'm talking about is a public records search which lets you check if there are any criminal records associated with this person. If he has been caught driving under the influence, you can be sure that you will find a file about this. If he has ever been arrested for an assault, the details about this can be found in his public records. You will be surprised just how much interesting and useful information you can learn about somebody by browsing his public records. If you think this is illegal, I want to assure you that this is publicly available information for everybody. If you want to get them for free, you should visit each and every court and ask if they have any records about a certain person. However, if you decide to pay a small fee, like for a cell phone lookup, you will gain access to a database with all the records already compiled and searchable by quite a few criteria.
