Do profiles mean anything while online dating?

I learned lessons the hard way because one guy's profile said he was single, but I did find out that he already had a girlfriend, and he tried to set up a date for me after I found out he had a girlfriend through SnapChat. The date didn't happen, and I blocked him after that from Snapchat. That is one big flag. Now that's how cheating could happen. I am texting a new guy and have said I would like to get to know him first. I saw his profile and didn't see "single" on it, but that's not how to find out if he's really single and not lying about it. I didn't know the first guy matched with me had a girlfriend; if I knew if he had a girlfriend, I would just block him and move on to someone else. Are there any good ways to tell if a guy is single or not? What else should I be on the lookout for when looking for only single guys who could have a relationship?
