You know, those things that make you go \u201chmmm.\u201d Dating is full of unanswered questions. Going on dates is meant to help answer questions about the person across from you and help you determine compatibility but what if you have questions about your date that you can\u2019t just ask? Here are some of those times when daters could have turned to Spokeo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time I was on a Date with a YouTube Celeb. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m on this date with this guy and I feel like I already know him. I don\u2019t know him though. My mind is racing like, &#8216;have I met this guy before or what is it about him?&#8217; Then it hits me: I \u2018m pretty sure he\u2019s this guy who\u2019s videos I think I\u2019ve seen on YouTube. That, or the guy has a doppelganger.<\/p>\n<p><em>Spokeo is full of information on every day folks, plus tons of information on celebrities, and all the people in between. It can be especially useful to search a username to track down public social media accounts.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time the Invisible Roommate Started Paying for Our Dates.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeen out with this girl a few times. On our fourth date, she insists on picking up the tab. I let her, but I noticed the card she threw down wasn\u2019t in her name. I asked whose card it was and she got all weird. She said it was her roommate\u2019s who owed her money. It didn\u2019t seem legit. I thought she said she lived alone. \u201c<\/p>\n<p><em>Sometimes we get gender biased and think only guys can be criminals. Check Spokeo for court records on ladies too.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time He His Stories Didn\u2019t Add Up.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been dating this guy who was bragging to me about his Ivy education and all his business prospects. I was pretty impressed. Then he started to tell me he still lived with his ex, but that they were just roommates. She was only staying till she could get on her feet. Then while I was at his house, I saw the utilities\u2019 bills and they were addressed in the name of his ex-girlfriend\u2019s mom. This didn\u2019t make sense. I don\u2019t know what to trust about this guy but something is rotten in the state of Denmark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>With Spokeo and a name, you can look into records of who has lived where. Boyfriend, Ex-Girlfriend and even Ex-Girlfriend\u2019s mom. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time His Browser History Horrified Me.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was borrowing my guy\u2019s computer and my curiosity got the best of me. I checked his browser history and saw all kinds of things I wish I could un-see. He\u2019s been to MarryYourPet.com several times, he does extensive searches on the Girl Scouts\u2019 ties to terrorist organizations and he seems to be a regular contributor at RateMyPoo.com. I need to go down the rabbit hole and learn more about who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Umm, if he\u2019s worth looking into, he\u2019s worth a quick Spokeo check. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time The Girl I Was Dating Could Never Talk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis girl only texts me late at night and only talks to me on the phone during her lunch hours. I get the feeling she may not be as single as I hoped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Spokeo helps\u00a0you search across multiple social media platforms, dating sites and historical records all from one search.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time I Thought She Was on House Arrest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went out with this girl who tried to tell me her ankle bracelet was not an ankle monitor but a pedometer that tracked how many steps she took in a day. I was not born yesterday but she did mention she had to be home by 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Hot Tip: Court records on Spokeo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time I Had to Check Up On His Crazy Ex.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDating this guy who said he was engaged before and that it ended bad. He says all these terrible things she\u2019s done. I mean seriously awful. Like she may as well be killing puppies. I feel like to give this guy a fair chance I need to\u00a0know more about her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Spokeo:\u00a0Sometimes just a little more info can bring a lot of peace of mind.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>That Time I Ran Into That Guy From High School.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d lost touch after high school but when I ran into him again at the airport, I felt something I hadn\u2019t in a long time. We parted without exchanging contact information and I\u2019m dying to know where he ended up. I can\u2019t seem to find him by my own methods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Spokeo is a powerful tool to finding information on nearly anyone. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ever wanted to know more about your love interest?
