I'm involved with setting up a guy we met recently. I tried looking him up to get more info and... Zero. Is that a red flag?

If you Google your name do you find anything about yourself?

Wouldn't it be a green flag?

How?
He didn't grow up religious but anyway shouldn't there be some record of his family, his address, something..?

Assuming he's off social media, it would depend on his age and job history.

I've searched myself out of curiosity and came up with nothing. I was very happy about that!

I searched myself and the only thing that came up was something I wrote for a publication. Nothing else.

I am. My LinkedIn profile and Company work-title both come up.
Charidy campaigns that we've donated to also come up with mine and DH's name.

I used to have social media and a business website so a lot came up. When I left SM and shifted careers I hired someone to clear me from Google. But things still come up sometimes.

I thought I wasn’t but I checked out of curiosity and my name does come up a few times. My instagram page, a few campaigns we donated to (I don’t understand why that shows up though), and a few places where my business was recommended.

Name and address. Nothing else. Very boring person. No social media accounts.

Yes, a lot comes up. I am an attorney. If he claims to be a practicing attorney and is totally not searchable, I would consider it at least an orange flag, if not a red flag, assuming you are searching the correct name.

Whether it's questionable to me would depend on how lack of online presence fits with the overall lifestyle story and background he presents.

I love when I can't find people. Sometimes they show up only as a donor to a CauseMatch, or on a shul bulletin for their bar mitzvah mazal tov. And sometimes not at all.

Tachlis, do you have his home address? A Whitepages address search should tell you who lives there. Googling the parents, or putting them into Whitepages, will often give you a short list of who they are related to, and the name may show up there.

Do you know if the name you have is his legal one? Often it's not. And I agree that what he's doing now makes a difference.

I’m searchable because I’m a PA. You can see my star rating and how much my patients like or dislike me for the time someone had to wait an extra 15 minutes. But you can’t find my personal information bh.

No. But dh is. He's an elected official and other public community related titles.

My legal name is the same I'm called by. A shortened of my yiddish name. My Hebrew name isn't anywhere.
So let's say libby (it's not) but in the secular world the way I spell it, is usually a men's name. There is acurally a Facebook and tiktok account with my exact name including spelling and it's a man.
But that's with my maiden name. My maiden name is an uncommon name. But there is a local doctor with that name. And a large car leasing company I Texas (Don't ask me how I know. Lol!) With my maiden name. Probably very distant non Jewish cousins. (We've got plenty according to geni.com.

My married name is super common jewish and nonjewish name. (Probably the 4th most popular name in the local phone book. Lol), lots of actors, doctors and attorney come up.....


I'm good not being searchable.

The only thing that comes up for me is an only simchas post for my engagement. So I wouldn't have had anything by dating also.
Btw I am also a BT.

Are you sure he's always been going by this name?

What exactly are you looking for?
