When you are in love and thinking seriously about making a commitment and even marriage, the thought of turning detective to find out if he's already married is the last thing on your mind. But what if he is? He might even have a criminal record but you don't know about it. You owe it to yourself to do some background checks on him before you get in too deep.

No one can know a person better than their closest friends do so if you do happen to know the same people or you know someone who does then you must go and talk to them. Buy them a few drinks to loosen their tongues and interrogate them about your new lover.

Most people are happy to talk about their friends but if they appear to be reluctant to answer your questions then this could mean that they have something they don't want you to hear. If this happens then it's time to start worrying.

Ask your new boyfriend everything you want to know because he has all the answers to your questions. People usually love to talk about themselves and will normaly be happy to give you all the answers you need. Unless they are hiding something of course in which case they might appear to be evasive or inconsistent. If you feel that this is happening then you should start to worry.

You should always talk to your new friend of course but it's much more important if you don't have any mutual friends to talk to. It's so simple to ask the questions and yet many people forget to do it when they are blinkered by romance.

Finding out if someone is lying to you doesn't have to be difficult. Remember that the trick is you don't have to recognise every lie that you might get told. You only have to find one lie to cast doubt on everything that they might say. For instance if they tell you that they are 35 years old but you know that they have a 25 year old daughter then they might well be lying. If he tells you that he's an airline pilot but doesn't know his way around a major airport then this could also be a clue.

If your lover can lie to you about one thing then he can lie to you about anything so be very careful if you catch him out. The least you should do at this point is a background before you go any further.

If you're suspicious about your lover in any way then you should do a background check on him before you get in too deep.
