No, I would not do that. Simply for one reason. Google will not provide with the most important information about the person, which is: how does he/she feel bout the other person. The only instance in which I would do such thing would be if I have reasons to doubt the person but those reasons should be good enough. checking the internet to find more about the person would mean that I don't trust her. And two years ago, I had to do it, and I was right to do so, and it was only the top of the iceberg.f
Very well. If I had limited myself to the thread topic, I would have told you that if the person is far away but you're both determined to make it work, one needs to go to the other country. In my case I wwent to the Philippines to meet my ex. And yet I'm bind. But as I am not afraid of travelling, I organised it in advanced. But at the same time, I was with her family, there was no danger to be feared on her part. Even if we had been alone, might I add. In this precise case, since they are close enough but transportations difficult, both shoud indeed do half of the thing as it has repeatedly been suggested on this thread. Arthur
well, in my humble opinion, dating should never be a game. To me, I consider that being with a person and having a relationship with her is something that needs great care because love is precious. Having been comprehensively hurt, I know what it's like and therefore, I would not date just anyone for the hell of it. If I do, and I do, there must be some links between us. Not only common interests because that may differ, but chemistry. But as I said in another forum, two weeks ago, I don't expect everyone to be like me. But that is my opinion.
Well, here is the opinion of one who is blind but has learned to live independantly. A lot of people stop there (not just girls) and think that blind is all we are. Naturally, if I needed help 24/7 a day, I could understand some or much apprehension. But it's not the case with me and yet... the mere mention of it seems to cause people not to get close
I think that the genre of music certainly not shows someone's personaity. Being a musician myself and playing many instruments, I can switch from jazz, to rock, classical, Indian music chinese music. All is a matter of tastes and experiences but it has nothing to do with personality.
RE: do you run a background check or google a person's name before dating?
