Make us preferred on Google

In the dating world, with increasing options for how to connect with new people, it's becoming especially important to take care of ourselves and stay safe.

Sometimes that means Google-searching our dates before going out with them.


Fortunately for Shaina Kay Cardwell, she did a search for her latest dating match on Hinge, because what she found was startling.

Cardwell shared what happened on TikTok, in a video that garnered more than 36-thousand views.

While doing her Google search, Cardwell discovered that her potential date had been arrested, and it wasn't for stealing candy bars.

Showing a shocked expression in the video, Cardwell captioned the video:

"When I was about to go on a Hinge date, I decided to Google him and saw he was arrested for aggravated kidnapping."

Along with the extensive views, the video also received extensive comments from fellow TikTokkers who also had been on or knew of dates that went horribly wrong because of behavior that could have been Googled first.

Some agreed with what Caldwell suggested in the video.

Among these comments also was a request for a follow-up.

"So what happened next? Did you confront him, or was it a straightforward block and delete situation?"

In a second video, Cardwell explained she was simply laying low rather than confronting her date.

Cardwell explained:

"I told him I realized I actually wasn't ready to date again yet and then proceeded to block him on all social media platforms."

Reply to @temitayo87 & now this tik tok has over 200K views so, if ur seeing this - it’s all love. #WhenRiftanSays #ThanksandGiving #MakeABunchHappen

Cardwell's mind was likely still spinning from what she uncovered about the date she almost went on, but by distancing herself, hopefully, she took enough precautions.

Fortunately by sharing an experience like this on social media, it may make others more aware of the dangers that still lurk in the world and what precautions we should be taking, especially in something as vulnerable as our dating lives.

Controversial Republican President Donald Trump's MAGA movement took a major hit in the midterms.

For some inexplicable reason, Bari Weiss' CBS News decided Katie Miller, the wife of Trump White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, was the expert to consult on why Tuesday's results went so badly for her husband's boss and her husband's Project 2025 Christian nationalist, White supremacist agenda.

Dems Share Important Reminder As Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Is Set To Take Effect In January

After Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration, people are sharing reminders that President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is set to take effect in January and that Americans could blame Democrats for stipulations Republicans put in the bill.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." The Post noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."

Texas Election Results Reveal Just How Badly James Talarico Beat Ken Paxton—And We Love To See It

While election results in Texas have still not been fully tallied, the unofficial results have revealed that the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.

The scale of Talarico’s victory was evident in the early-voting figures. He received 5,444,982 votes overall, including 4,397,474 cast before Election Day.

In other words, Talarico secured nearly 150,000 more votes during early voting alone than Paxton received across the entire election.
