I've been teased by friends. I've upset ex boyfriends. I get calls from friends of friends needing me to help them figure how to figure out if their man is cheating. Why? I am Inspector Gadget and I always do my research. This is just not in relationships, but in just about everything that peaks my interest. This is the information age and with so many resources available, why not use them to my advantage? They have saved me from a lot of potential heartache. For instance, one time I was dating this older guy. We went out on dates and had fun together, but there was still something I couldn't put my finger on. We planned an out of town trip one weekend and he called last minute to cancel. It was nothing too unusual but still my antenna raised. I think this was the day Inspector Gadget was born. I hit the Internet. I don't even think Google was Google at that time but I researched his name. I got nothing. I knew his parents lived in a small city, so I researched them and found the proper spelling of his last name. From there I did researches on his college years and then BOOM, there it was: His Jet magazine profile of his wedding. This fool was in Jet!!! From there, I found his house in Plano (which was listed under another name). I confronted him coincidentally on the day he wanted to tell me about impending divorce o_O. That didn't work for me, so the dating relationship ended. I later found out that he was a major drug dealer as well. I'd driven his 745 on numerous occasions; there could have been drugs in that car!!!
All in all, my research saves me. With facebook and twitter I can observe potential suitors and see how much they reveal about themselves. Yeah I can ask, but that's a risk of being lied to. :-)
Until next time...
