Get a Cell Phone Background Check

You meet someone new – potential dating material.  They’re good looking, appear to be independent, single, and confident.  You’re laying out your future together in your head.  What you don’t see is the invisible baggage he or she is hiding from you to make a good, first impression.  Get a cell phone background check and weed out the fluff from your dating life.

That’s one of the big problems with dating, by the way.  You go out a few times and it doesn’t take long to get hooked.  If there’s any chemistry at all, you have a few things in common, and your conversations are light and easy, you start to invest yourself in the possibility of a new long-term relationship.

Only later, after you’ve put some of your relationship nest-egg into this new person do you find out that they come with a criminal record, a child (or two, or three) – maybe even a wife they neglected to tell you about.

That’s where the pain comes in.  That’s when it’s harder to separate yourself.  Your brain – constantly analyzing, planning and working away – has already taken how you FEEL about a person and decided you should be together.  It forces you to compromise and settle for some issues that you might not have had to deal with if you knew those things going into the relationship.

So, how do you protect yourself and your heart from being forced to settle?  You get a cell phone background check without them knowing and see if you find any hidden skeletons in the closet.

Almost everyone has a cell phone these days so it’s one of the quickest ways to check someone out.  Using a reverse cell phone directory that offers background information gives you not only information about where this person lives but also about who else might be at that address, what other names are associated with that person, public records information and any criminal record information that might be filed away in those public records.  For less than $15, it’s a valuable tool to find out information about the new person in your life.

For a society that is supposedly fairly non-trusting (we’re sure companies are going to rip us off, we think politicians are crooks, we’re sure our doctor is too young to practice medicine), we really do trust people way too much when it comes to dating.  We let them into our house, we introduce them to our families, we share personal information with them – often within the first few days of knowing them.  And what do you REALLY know about them?

And they won’t know you checked.  That’s what makes this a great way to make a decision all on your own.  If you run a background check on someone using their cell phone number, they won’t know that you ran the report.  If you find something like an ex wife you didn’t know about, you can decide then what you want to do with that information.  Maybe it’s something you can live with but at least you’ll know at a time when your head can help you make a safe, informed decision before your heart takes over and tells you it doesn’t care that he or she was in jail for possession of illegal narcotics in the past.

Make it your standard dating policy to get a cell phone background check on someone new and you could save yourself a lot of heartache and remorse in the long run.
