Googling Your Date?

Ever try and “Google” your date? According to author Laura Schaefer, eleven percent of women have gone online and done research on a person they were dating or were about to meet.

Googling your date” can be a great way to do some research and find out things you both have in common before you meet. It can also be a great way to get the dirt on your prospective partner!

Be forewarned though, “Googling” is by no means fool proof! For example, if your date has a relatively common name, you’ll end up with millions of search results. Who knows if your Michael Smith is the one listed as Harvard alum or the one featured in the Metro’s Police Blotter.

And, while pre-date research can give you some info on your would-be beau, always remember that you often learn the most about a person by meeting them face to face!

Have you ever “Googled a date” before? We’d love to hear about it!

I think googling your date is a good idea. My sister did this with a guy she was recently set up with and she found a few pictures of him that totally turned her off. Needless to say, she cancelled her date!
