nothing wrong with a backroudn check before meeting. the net is full of sickos you probably would have never met otherwise if it wasn't for the net.
The problem is performing a background check is weird in itself, it's just not something someone would ever think of doing in a normal society, not in this context anyway. If you're applying for a job, fine, but no, not a date. | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/3/2012 5:17:01 PM | Lucky for us in USA it's easy to get all kinds of info to see if the person is who they say and in florida... you can also check mugshots dot com and even see arrest records, which I have seen a few ladies I have seen around here on :)
A good idea to me. I only met one guy who lied about some things to hide the fact he was mega wealthy ( and family well known) the rest who misrepresented themselves had records of burglary, car theft, drugs, assault, etc...... someone like that is NOT for me.
I think they are a great thing. | |

Same can be said of Canada right now. Stephen Harper looks a lot like George W Bush in his politics. I personnally dont agree with that. Boycotting journalists, enforcing the military... Land of the Free indeed. Now I'm getting ostracized for being a smoker, and the most recent talk everywhere in Canada right now is SUGAR. They want to put surgeon general warning on sugar because sugar KILLS. Gimme a freakin break.... "Escape from LA" anyone? | |

^Now that's funny. Can you imagine the cost of putting warning labels on every sugar filled product. They're busy writing the law for that right now. Trust me, a few years from now, when it actually passes (because most ppl agree sugar is BAD, if you take like, 5 cups A DAY of it...) we won't be laughing then. I'm curious to see how far this logic goes before people start grabbing weapons. Red meat is bad for you, so no red meat. Sex before marriage is unethical, so no sex before marriage. Penalty is prison. At first 10 years. Then, no, all the criminals get out early, let's put 50. Hell, LIFE, let's protect our children, after all, a jaywalker can KILL as much as a rapist no?
LOL. I laugh now, but....implications are scary. Some countries have fought rebellions over less... | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/4/2012 11:34:25 AM | | Yes but you're in kind, gentle Canada. There will be no revolutions over the government loving you enough to worry about your sugar intake. Uusually it's only your mother and your dentist but you have a national goverment which cares. I feel all warm and fuzzy. | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/4/2012 8:20:17 PM | I think we should declare preemptive war on all entities which do not submit to our demands, I mean ideologies, because we are bigger better and smarter than everyone else, and gosh darn it we will make them see the light. Wanna buy some guns ? | |
|
| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/4/2012 8:37:29 PM | Harper is a****too......which is why I vote, and question my goverment. The point is that we must recognize when a government entity has gone too far, and hopefully not hand over our rights. It is interesting that there are now employers requesting access to candidates personal facebook accounts, so as to conduct a thorough character reference. I view this as an invasion of privacy, as my personal friendships, inside jokes, personal likes and opinions are not subject to the scrutiny of big brother. No business will dictate my lifestyle or personal conduct .... Remember what happened to the West Memphis 3, just for liking a little Heavy Metal.....?

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/7/2012 4:23:44 PM | | If she send you to another site and they ask for money.....RUN!! Its a scam...on the other hand if she's up front and honest and if you have nothing to hide then you nothing to fear. Still anyone asks you for money BLOCK and RUN! | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/7/2012 4:45:13 PM | A person want a background-check? Give the bloody whore your best friends number, your 4th grade teachers number, damn! While your at it, give her the number to the police department in the town you live(maybe she can turn herself in for being psycho!).
A background-check would be done through providing your SS#. Anyone would be a fool to hand that out! | |
|
| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/7/2012 5:21:59 PM | | All I can say to this is good for her. Last time I waited to do a background check. Tunred out the loser was still married and had scammed people on ebay for a toal of close to $100,000 dollars and was prosecuted for it. And his wife was involved. Needless to say. that guy face planted into the curb as I sent him on his way. | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/7/2012 9:25:03 PM | | The last person I was talking to said the same thing about doing a background check, wanting to run my credit score, etc. on me. While I didn't completely stop talking to her right then and there (ultimately the distance made me cut it off), it definitely made me step back a step or two. | |

I hear what you people are saying,.really i do,..so please hear me!,.Im so sick of people putting up fake pics,.so i always ask if we can go on cam,.thats a simple request right?,.Whats wrong with wanting to see the guy from his pics??Nothing in my book,.i just want to make damned sure im not being taken for a mug,.im no bloody fool,.bloody hell,.seems so many of you have so much to hide,.wonder why?Answers on a postcard,........
With the exception of my first pof meet, every man I have met from here, we web-cammed first, before agreeing to meet one another. I dont advocate swapping personal information before meeting, but if you send me a picture, be prepared to prove it is your picture before I meet you. I am happy to do the same. Anyone can upload any image and I dont do blind dates. If that wasnt 'good enough' for a man and he wanted personal information before we met to check me out, he would have to move on to someone more gullable because I dont give out personal information to strangers. And I would lose any respect I may have had for a man who was willing to hand over his persoanl info to me, just to get me to date him. That is not a safe practice. | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/9/2012 6:14:01 PM | In my opinion this can be a bit of a double edged sword.
1. If you dont trust someone enough to just tell you the truth then you should most likely not be meeting even as a friend.
2. If you do know eachother and have a good friendship or otherwise is it really worth bringing up someones past to judge them on their mistakes?
Either way i say its no good and might bring about emoitonal pain on both sides, if its marriage wer'e talking then thats a diffrent story. | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/9/2012 8:06:22 PM | | At the absolute minimum, I want your 1st & last name so I can at least check if your a sex offender. This is if I'm meeting you for a coffee in a public place. Before I get in your car, one of my friends will have taken your pic & gotten your plate number with or without you knowing it. I'm a single mom. I've gotta make sure I come home to my son. Or at least give the cops a lead! | |

At the absolute minimum, I want your 1st & last name so I can at least check if your a sex offender. You wouldn't get my last name before meeting me. Are you willing to give a guy your first and last name before meeting him? If not, then you're a bit one sided and if so, you're foolish.
I'm a single mom. I've gotta make sure I come home to my son. It doesn't require much genius to meet someone in a public place and be safe. You already see hundreds of people every day in public places, so why are you not afraid of any of them? | |

I agree fully...if you're not going to give your full name why should a guy give his? There are single dad's out there as well...and female sexual predators (esp with children). | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/10/2012 1:37:19 AM | I heard a story only yesterday about a woman who dated a convicted sex offender without realising it. I think in the US you have a law allowing you to check the register. Here in the UK we don't have that (or maybe we do, recently I remember something happening on that front).
I wouldn't get too hung up on giving out my details to a date. I generally want to bend over backwards to make sure she feels comfortable with me. If that includes giving her all the info she needs to do a background check, that's fine. It's usually men who are the offenders here. Not exclusively but the vast majority are, so I don't have a problem with the asymmetry. | |

| SHE SAID A FULL BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED FOR ONLINE DATING Posted: 5/10/2012 8:59:13 AM | Im with Albian.
Where will the the paranoia begin and where does it end ? Although these ABSURD requests too can be utilized as a filtering tool. If an individual demanded private information to do a background check, or snapped photos of my license plate to scan the registry, or stalked me on FB....(So that I could earn the privilidge to be graced by their presence ????), I would consider them to be a bit of a sociopath = delete/block. But it would never get that far, because I would decline and they would smugly hold to the false belief that they dodged a scamming psychopathic sex offender or con artist. And they would likely remain alone, while I actually engaged in a few coffee dates (and ended up chopped to bits in a basement freezer, all assets stolen).
Buy a helmet, and do not leave the house. OR Keep calm and carry on. | |
