Q: What kind of person should
I watch out for?
A: Deadbeat Date Characteristics - although some guys who create
problems may be people with criminal pasts, most offenders
are just regular people. Most incidents involve guys
who have NO official criminal record or crime history of
any kind. However, even though there is no such thing as
a "typical" offender, all tend to be manipulative,
deceptive, and secretive. Bad date experiences can come from all
backgrounds, ages, income levels, and professions.
Q: I have just had a bad
encounter with a guy on a date, what can I do about it?
A: If violence was involved call the Police.
Reporting the assault is not the same as prosecuting. The
decision to prosecute can be made later. Police should be
notified at 911 and local law enforcement will handle the
case. If there was no violence (and especially when there
is), be sure to post your incident on The Dating BLACKLIST.
Q: What if he moves
or changes his phone number? If an offender moves
or takes other steps so he won't be found, he may still
be identified through other information he gave you.
Q: What if a guy changes
his name? - A date may occasionally use an
alias, but may be identified though a description, his car,
the phone number used, e-mail used or other information.
