Someone said my running a background check on my dates was excessive. I thought it was a simple precaution.

Really, ladies and gents, it can keep you from having a nasty surprise. Usually not as nasty as this but finding out that someone has a suspended license for DWI is vital information before you get in the car with them.

I think more along the lines of crocodile dundee about to go on a date until he grabs his intended "date's" crotch and finds the whole male package.

In this day and age .......

Background check, definitely; DON’T move in with him right away. Honestly. My sister married an online dating guy; we were all suspicious. His daughter finally called her from the Middle East where she worked/ had moved to get away from him?? “Run screaming. My dad’s a con artist. He just wants your money.” He had ‘borrowed’ her guns to look them over at his place in the mountains. When they called the Sheriff to verify the daughter’s warning, the Sheriff said YES but he had died in a drunken wreck in a snowstorm so not to worry.

All that glitters is not gold. Women can be so gullible.
