The Web site www.mymatchchecker.com lets you request background checks on dates.

Two retired police officers, who also happen to be protective dads, have created a new Web site for online daters. The Web site www.mymatchchecker.com lets you request background checks on prospective dates, for less than $15. The former cops-turned-dating-sleuths say having daughters inspired them to try to make online dating safer for everyone. You can also download a new app to check out future dates. "Look Up Before You Hook Up" is marketed to women who want to perform a quick background check on would-be romeos.
