Have you been to Delphi lately?

Please help me with my plot

ETA: This isn't a paranormal romance, but a contemporary fantasy with a romance element. And the plot element discussed here is not the main conflict, but feeds into the main, more serious conflict.

I'm trying to get outside my own head here to see what other people might do given a certain set of circumstances. I know what I've written, but I can't help thinking it needs a reality check. I seriously want to know what people might do in these situations.

Here's the situation, Part 1: You've just met someone, but the chemistry is terrific, and everything you learn about him/her is terrific, and you come to believe in his/her sincerity, sensitivity, and many other endearing qualities. Even though it's only been a few days, you think you might be falling in love. Then someone you don't know sends an email saying there are things about this person you don't know and should know. Almost no one knows you've been dating, so how did this person know? They direct you to a website where you can learn more about this. Do you...?

Here's the situation, Part 2: Let's say you click through and check out the website. It thoroughly trashes your Potential Beloved's reputation. But the stuff it's talking about happened many years ago when your PB was only fifteen. Let's say you yourself got up to some really crazy stuff when you were fifteen, too. Let's further say you have real issues with deception. PB's shady past involves sexual pecadiloes and dishonest, if not quite fraudulent, behavior. As far as you can tell, he/she has led an exemplary life since. Do you...?
