How do you learn more about someone you met online?
Hey everyone! So I’ve been chatting with someone I met through a hobby group online, and it’s going pretty well so far. We’ve been texting for a couple of weeks, but I’m still kind of unsure how to get a better sense of who they really are before meeting in person. I found an article that talks about how to find out more about someone you met online — like checking their social presence, having deeper convos, and doing simple searches to see if things line up: Three Best Ways To Find Out More About Someone You Met Online. It made me realize there are ways to gently verify things without being creepy. So I’m curious — how do you get a better feel for someone you met online without making it awkward?

Interesting topic. I’ve never been super deep into online dating or anything like that, but I do talk to people for gaming and other hobbies, and usually I just take my time getting to know them naturally. Asking open‑ended questions about their interests and experiences helps me see how genuine their responses are, and if they avoid any real substance, that’s usually a red flag for me. It’s all about finding balance between curiosity and caution.
