Do your research

The great thing about the internet is that we can have access to information in .5 seconds, so why would you not use it to your advantage? In my blog today I want to talk about googling the person you’re interested in. I think right off the bat, depending on the information received online, you’ll be able to tell if you even want to further entertain someone. On a daytime TV show called “The Real”, they talked about why you should Google your date and the importance of it. I think the main reason why it’s important is because you need to make sure it’s someone who wouldn’t be harmful and obviously even through social media and things like that, we still never 100 percent know a person, but there’s nothing wrong with taking precaution. I actually know of someone who started dating this man who went to her church. They hit it off and decided to get married. About 2 years later he was arrested again and charged for not registering a sex offender/ child molester. His wife had no idea about any of this and it left her distraught knowing that she had been with him and had him around her young family members. Now I’m not saying that once you Google them and go on a date, bring everything up that you found. I think you have to give the person time to open up about themselves and not expect them to share all of their business right away. Although the clip of the talk show is from 4 years ago, I think the subject still has great prevalence and you should not feel bad for doing things that make you feel safer.
