Do you check out your love before you take the plunge?

Yes. I read a story from one of the universities that said that people are terrible at detecting lies. Some policemen and customs people who have been trained to look for signs are a bit better, but mostly people aren't nearly as good at figuring out lthat somebody is lying as they think they are. Would LoveShack be around if people always knew they were being lied to?

 

One of my Brother in-laws is a police officer and he believes everybody is lying .

 

He treats it like a game ..

 

Maybe thats what we should do in dating .. Believe everybody is lying and hiding something and do a background check on 'em to prove it.

 

NOT

It's all the trend among the up and coming in America to check out your SO. Of course, this would never be an option for many ... unfortunate

I would think that the person checking me out is being responsible and thoughtful and I would take no offense. I have nothing to hide, I have made mistakes, learned and grown from them and I would expect that I would have the foresight to disclose those things to a potential life mate that would be important for them to know. I, as most people, am not skilled or experienced in accurately judging a person. Overtime we can learn all we need to about a person but rather than waste 5 or 10 years in a relationship that will ultimately go nowhere it makes sense to me for my sig. other to "check me out" and end a relationship with me if she can't live with who I am in all aspects.

Do you check them out? I mean we all google one another, but do you take it further--background check, credit report, or perhaps a private investigator?

 

No, but I believe my husband did when he and I met. However, it was online so that may be a little different.

That's the way lots meet these days, online. I suppose that is why checking out your SO is on the rise. Good point.

YEs. I hire PIs, do a background check, and when they are sleeping I swab the inside of my womens mouth to get DNA for a DNA check. I occasionally do a rectal thermometer check while she is sleeping. I clip some bits of her hair and have voodoo dolls made of her in case she gets uppity with me. I put small minicameras in her car and tape recorders inside the lining of her purse. I have a small micro counter that I put under the label of her underwear that counts how many times she pulls them down. I approximate that she should only be doing it maybe three to four times a day for the restroom. If she pulls them down more than that she might be cheating.
