About how long does it take on average to really know someone?

Depends on the person. I lived with a girl for 6 months and I would say living with a person, you understand them pretty quickly.

I would say that if it turns bad then it's a bullet dodged.

Be smart out there.

Don't buy a house without an inspection.
Don't buy a car with a mechanics inspection.

Just be smart.

Give it 2 years minimum.

Depends on how good a private investigator you can afford.

How long before you really know someone?

Maybe never. After fifteen years, my wife still manages to surprise me - in mostly good ways �� - from time-to-time.

How often have you surprised yourself?

When did I know she was the one? When she told me she was.

I was/am a dumb male.

Good post ^^ I agree . This about sums up most people.
