Because it's a smart thing to do before getting super serious with someone. I'm not the OP.

Employers do it too, just FYI.


Is OP dating and getting serious w her/his employer ?


You think it's prudent to run a background check on a potential employee but not on someone you are considering sharing your life with?

What is it that you are looking for?

FWIW, I actively scrub my information from those places. Most people should. Too much potential for invasion of privacy or misunderstandings.

For example, I recently found out that someone with my (unusual) name down to the same middle initial is on a registered sex offender list. They're 10 years younger and live in a different state, but even so...


You can't scrub court records, FWIW.

If you’re dating someone, I think it makes more sense to just learn about them and verify the things you can if you’re nervous. Most of us are pretty searchable.
