A married man from Long Island, NY recently made headlines when he was arrested for impersonating a U.S. marshal to get dates. Married for 17 years with 2 teenaged children, this man used an internet chat room called Long Island Over 40, to lure at least 11 women into relationships under the pretense of being a single man. One woman even became pregnant with his child. Had he not been impersonating a U.S. marshall, his dating duplicity might have never been exposed.

Dating Deception is Common

Unfortunately, dating deception is all too common. Married men frequently masquerade as single men. Although there are websites specifically for married men who want to cheat, many cheating husbands troll chat rooms and online dating sites in search of single women on whom to prey. Its not just over the Internet; this dating deception occurs in offline locations as well. A surprising number of the men you meet at clubs, bars, parties and in other social settings, are married -- not single, as they claim to be. If youre a single woman looking for a committed relationship, the last thing you want is to find out is that youre dating a married man whos cheating on his wife.
