Dating a 'stud or dud?' Ask your phone

[derrian]

If that dreamy blind date seems too good to be true, or the guy at the bar with a martini and a pencil-thin moustache looks a little sketchy, the truth about them -- or at least some of it -- could be found on your phone.<div class="feedflare">

I would be very unhappy if someone chose to check me out this way. Not a good way to start building a relationship.

I disagree 100%. Trust is EARNED. I think tech like this is a great idea and will/should only become more common. I don't see anything wrong with finding out if someone is married/divorced or has a criminal record. These are not usually the things that you can ask about and get a straight answer. Sure, there will be some mistakes and problems, but that's going to happen, that's life.

Yes, and so is distrust, and someone sneaking behind my back and doing something like this would earn my distrust of them. If you feel the need to check someone out in an underhanded way like this, you shouldn't be dating them. If I found out my boyfriend did this to me, it would not necessarily end the relationship, but it would take some time and healing to move past.
