I Check Out Your Profile Before I Add You

It's Just Smart... I've found that it's necessary. I want to know the person that request me. As we all know EP is a huge world with so many people here for different reasons. It's my opinion that if I research before I accept a person and I make the decision wisely, we will avoid some misunderstandings.

I realize that friends do not have to have that much in common but two friend do have to get along and enjoy the interaction with each other.
I don't want to become one more person on a list of 1000 of friends with no interaction.

This being the case, I have to see if there are groups added, what groups were added,  and what their stories tell me about the person.
