It's time-consuming .... and frustrating at times. I've gotten very bold at asking specifics. There are so many men AND women online who are MARRIED and just playing games. The FIRST thing I do....is ask if I can run a background check on them.....This weeds out alot....and doesn't cost me a dime. *laugh* I still do a thorough background on anyone I intend to meet. It tells you stuff like divorces, bankruptcy, criminal records, addresses, etc. You just can't be too safe!

Maybe I'm too cynical for all this.....but I would even check out someone my pastor introduced me to! LOL

When I meet a woman in person, I can tell almost right away whether she has an open heart or whether she is a closed, cold, negative, judgmental person (and there are a lot of those around.) Online, it's alomst impossible to do that. You can waste a lot of time exchanging correspondence with someone who is lying about who she is, even if she is telling the truth about her marital status.

So I remain skeptical of the format, but then I live in a major metropolitan area. For those in smaller towns, there may be few other options.

Good grief! How do you do that for free? Can you do it without them knowing it?
