A boyfriend background check is always a good idea. Today many women end up dating strangers they met online, on dating sites and social networks or at the local club scene. Dating people we barely know raises concerns about our safety.The damage done by a dishonest boyfriend could be physical, emotional, financial. A simple background check is the best way to prevent future disappointments.

Here are 4 warning signs that you should background check your boyfriend:

1. You don't know much about his past.

If you recently met your new beau, you probably don't know much about his past. Or probably you do, but everything is based on his own words. Has he ever been married? Kids? Did he ever graduate from college? Previous employers? Criminal history? Credit problems? These are just some of the questions that might give you a better idea of the person you are dealing with.

2. He is evasive in his answers.

If your boyfriend is giving you evasive and vague answers, then you should certainly ask yourself "Is he complete honest with me?". If you detect any inconsistencies in what he says or does, be alert.

3. He asks for money.

Have you heard the words: " I just need a little financial help till I get my feet on the ground" or " My boss was a prick so I had to quit. I'll be employed again in no time". If a guy asks you for money at the early stages of the relationship, that should certainly raise a red flag for you.

4. He disappears on you.

If your boyfriend keeps disappearing on you without warning or explanation, then maybe you should reevaluate your relationship. Such behavior is inexcusable and you should find the reason for it.

Knowing more about your boyfriend's background will help you decide if you should take the relationship to the next level. A simple background check will set your mind at rest.
