If someone says they own a home in a specific suburb but the records show a different name or a commercial property, that\u2019s your cue to walk away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The &#8220;First Date&#8221; Safety Net:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Moving a conversation from an app to real life can be nerve-wracking.

If you\u2019re eyeing a new apartment or house, a quick search tells you who your neighbors might be and the general &#8220;vibe&#8221; of the street.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Using the Tool Without Being &#8220;That Person&#8221;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal here is safety, not stalking.

If a search doesn&#8217;t show a person&#8217;s name immediately, they might just be a renter or have recently moved. Use it as one piece of a larger puzzle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stick to the Pros:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Avoid those &#8220;free&#8221; sites that bury you in pop-up ads.
