If you are seeing a girl, just met a girl or maybe it's an LTR situation - would you be for or against asking a mutual friend about them?
Maybe for instance you see a mutual connection you know well enough, would you ask "hey X... what do you know about X".
I've asked 2 friends and they both had different views, one said it makes you look bad/comes across as stalkerish. The other said yes, find out what you can, why not, get ask much info as possible to make a decision on a woman.
I think if it's a girl I just met, I'd definitely run a background check. If it's an LTR I would be less inclined, if it was my wife, I think that's going too far (should have been vetted properly before it got to that stage).
Which do you guys think?
