Wondering how to find out if someone has a dating profile online?  You may want to reconnect with an old flame. Maybe you\u2019re concerned that your partner suddenly has a death grip on their cell phone whenever you\u2019re around.  You could even be worried about your child chatting with strangers on popular dating apps.  Short of signing up for everything from Ashley Madison to Tinder, how do you go about finding out if someone has a dating profile? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, it doesn\u2019t take much more than an internet connection and an inquiring mind to figure it out.  But be forewarned: This is powerful stuff. Once you discover it, there\u2019s no turning back. Before you start looking, however, consider whether this is information you really want or even need to know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this caveat, if you\u2019re comfortable being informed, we\u2019ll give you the tips you need to track down a dating profile in just a few easy steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Find a Dating Profile Without Access to the Person\u2019s Device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not so difficult to find information on when you have access to their phone or other device. But, what if their device is password protected or you don\u2019t live with them?  If you don\u2019t have access to the person\u2019s mobile or computer, you can also find someone on dating sites by email.  Or you can look for dating profiles using just a name or phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To increase your chance of finding a dating profile, enter the person\u2019s name on Spokeo.com<\/a> to see the available  social media profiles, email addresses and usernames they might be using.  It\u2019s likely that their dating profile username differs from the one they normally use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the person has a more common name, a Reverse Email Search<\/a> or Reverse Username Search<\/a> may be a more efficient way to find results on over a hundred social media platforms, including publicly accessible dating profiles.  If an account exists, you\u2019re likely to find it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a Dating Profile by Checking Browsing History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have access to the phone or computer of the person you want to check in on, there are two easy ways to see if they have an online dating profile.  The first is to view their browsing history. Most people are lax about clearing historical searches.  Besides, it\u2019s useful information to have when you want to revisit a web page you didn\u2019t save.  We\u2019re not encouraging you to invade your partner\u2019s privacy. But if they\u2019ve given you permission to use their phone in the past you\u2019re in the clear. Here\u2019s how to check the history<\/a> on the most popular browsers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
