Requesting a background check on your girlfriend raises concerns

“Since then, her friend who works for the federal government has been doing background checks on people to make sure they’re safe. And because our relationship is moving forward, she needs to know that I’m a safe partner for her. So, she wants my Social Security number to check my criminal history,” she said. “

“Now, for the record, I don’t even have a parking ticket. I’m a gym freak, all I do is work, go to school, play Dungeons and Dragons, come home, watch anime, rinse and repeat, so I don’t care about the background check.” She won’t find anything.

But I won’t give out my Social Security number. “I don’t feel comfortable enough to offer that to her friend.”
