Tinder will let people run background checks on potential dates beginning this week.

They're offering two for free, and then after that they'll cost $2.50 each. The goal is to arm online daters with information and make them feel safe about their dating choices.

The background checks won't provide identifying information like address, or history of where they've lived in search results.
