Ladies, before you are intimate with a man, get to know the person first. When sex is involved, at the beginning stages, it clouds your judgement. Women are emotional creatures which means we get attached easily while a man sees it as emotionless sex. You need to know if he is married, separated, in a relationship, employed, spiritually grounded, has good credit, goals and aspirations, been convicted( circumstances that led to the conviction),etc. A background check is not a bad thing in today’s society. Look out for yourself and don’t fall for every man that tells you that you look good.
From the heart,

I’m the old fashioned type… I would not be intimate with a man unless in the vow of marriage… So grateful for my dear husband. I would not survive in the dating world today! There’s just so much one must do to protect themselves!
Loretta, thank is the way it is supposed to be but I am trying reach those who do not have that belief system. Knowledge is power! Thanks for your comment and honesty!
