The company I work for requires extensive background checks for employment consideration. I remember the day I had to be fingerprinted, drug tested and have my credit report reviewed. It did feel like an invasion of privacy but I learned to understand that these types of check-ups help the hiring company to determine what kind of employee I would be. From these, they will know if I’m trustworthy, if I’m a criminal and whether or not I’m a responsible adult who pays her bills.
This makes me wonder, as women, why can't we be more diligent in investigating the men we date? Partially, it's because we don't have some type of National Boyfriend Database (NBD) we could easily access and thus find out all we need to know about our potential boyfriend. Imagine the time, effort and heartache we would save ourselves.
I recall one of my dearest friends being so excited about the new man in her life. On the surface, it appeared they were made for each other. He was attentive, caring and funny – three qualities she really looked for in boyfriends. For the better part of three months, the two of them were inseparable and getting very close to the “I love you” stage of the relationship. I couldn’t have been happier for her until I had to tell her…
I found his photo on the Sex Offender Registry
Just Lovely...
