How to Catch a Cheater & Signs of Cheating
Cheating Signs | Signs of Infidelity
Why do you need to know how to catch a cheater?
One of the unfortunate realities of online dating is the presence of people who take advantage of the relative anonymity of the internet.
Online dating statistics tell us that up to 30% of people using internet dating services are either married or already involved in a relationship.
Of course, cheaters aren’t limited to the internet. There are scoundrels (male and female) in the so called “real world” as well. After all, you might meet someone in a coffee bar who claims to be single, but is really married.
But the internet makes it particularly easy for online cheating to take place. Many dating sites don’t check their members’ backgrounds beyond verifying their email addresses.
Free dating sites are particularly popular with the married and unscrupulous. Having to pay to use a matchmaking service does weed out some of the already-attached and timewasters.
After all, it’s easy to re-invent yourself online. Gained fifty pounds in the last few years? Just use a ten-year-old dating profile photo and away you go.
Is he married? Is she cheating on her husband?
Who knows? You can be whatever you want online.
It’s this bad-apple minority that brings out the net detective in those of us searching for true love online.

Emotional Infidelity is Still Cheating
Emotional infidelity can be just as damaging as a full-blown physical affair.
The internet is the perfect playground for people who are absenting themselves emotionally from their existing relationships. In the process they can mess up your life as well as their own, if you're not careful.

Do I Need to Use a Detective Web Site?
If you’re already in touch with someone you’re contemplating meeting, you can start to check them out by Googling the person’s name.
Depending on how visible they are online, the search could tell you whether they really live where they say they do, or even confirm that they’re using their real name.
If Google snooping isn’t allaying your worries about how to catch a cheater, you might be considering using an online investigator website.
Net Detective is one of the online biggies.
This detective website is used widely (internet daters are just a small part of their clientele) – which just goes to show that we’re all nosy and busy checking each other out!
