SAFETY DATING

Single men and women are using investigations to identify stalkers, rapists, liars and ex-cons in the dating pool.

Los Angeles, CA -- Background checks arent just for corporations any longer. More and more single men and women are using such investigations to identify stalkers, rapists, fakers, liars and ex-cons wading in the dating pool.

Global One Security, located in Hollywood, offers a background investigation service called Safety Date. These investigations can be very rudimentary or extremely thorough. Julian Gomez, Global One Securitys director, said a greater number of savvy singles are proactively protecting themselves in the tumultuous world of romance.

"Many people are just looking to make sure their dream girl or Prince Charming are not harboring dangerous, hidden secrets." Gomez said. "Most of the background checks turn up only minor infractions at best. But every now and then we have to inform someone that their dinner date has a warrant, a restraining order or may even be married."

The massive increase in e-dating is partially responsible for the influx of Safety Date requests, according to Gomez. In Los Angeles, where many people pretend to be something they are not, Safety Date has become popular with actors, actresses and models looking to thwart unscrupulous suitors. For example, one Safety Date client, who is an apparel model, used the service to learn that a man she was dating had been married twice before -- a fact he had left out of all dinner conversations.
