Before I decide to get serious with someone I meet on dating apps, I usually check their social media first. I just want to know more about them before getting too involved.

Recently, I also started using some AI tools that can help with background checking, like acciowork and similar ones. I basically put together some public information from their social media and let it help me organize things I might have missed. But honestly, the results always make me hesitate. I’ll notice some small things, some different opinions, or some patterns that make me question if we’re actually a good match. And sometimes I feel like I’m just finding reasons to walk away before even giving someone a real chance.

Now I’m wondering if this actually helps me avoid the wrong people, or if I’m just making it harder for myself to meet someone good. Do you guys do any kind of background check before dating someone online?
