4 Zodiac Signs Who Will Run a Background Check Before a First Date

Dating can be nerve-wracking for all of us. Are they catfishing you? Will they ghost you after a week? People with these 4 highly suspicious Zodiac signs would straight-up run a background check before agreeing to a coffee date.

You might say they’re paranoid. They would say it’s just common sense.

Capricorn

You know what a Capricorn hates more than anything? Being played for a fool. They’d rather be alone than be betrayed by a partner. And a suspicious Capricorn would absolutely run a background check on a date. They want all the receipts so they can decide what to do.

If a Capricorn thinks they’re being lied to, they’ll whip out a giant magnifying glass and look for clues in everything you say. They are determined to find the truth eventually—but in the meantime, they might just blow up their relationship.

Scorpio

The Scorpio motto might as well be “Trust No One.” They get especially nervous when things seem to be going well. If a possible romantic partner seems too good to be true, a Scorpio will immediately start looking for the hidden catch.

Of course, Scorpios are the ones most likely to sting their partners. They’re prone to jealousy and very, very intense about sex and love. Dating a Scorpio can be a wild ride—but be prepared to deal with some epic trust issues.

Leo

Leos put up a good front, but deep down they’re hiding quite a few insecurities. They tend to be suspicious—even paranoid—about love. And the more suspicious they get, the less other people trust them. Before you know it, a Leo will be staked out with a telephoto lens to get proof that their romantic partner is up to no good.

What Leos don’t understand is that their paranoia makes other people more likely to betray them. It’s a vicious cycle.

Aries

Oh, Aries. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Aries are self-centered to a fault. An Aries would run a background check on a date to make sure that the person fits into a pre-defined idea of what they want in a romantic partner. They don’t want to waste their time on someone who wouldn’t work out anyway.

You might call Aries the ultimate player, but the truth is more complicated than that. Sure, they might break a few hearts along the way. But Aries has zero chill when it comes to playing games or lying in a relationship. Break their trust, even a little bit, and they’ll be gone.
