Love's labors investigated

Have questions about that person you're dating online? Want to be sure they're everything they're claiming to be? Are you ready to move beyond Googling your potential Mr./Miss Good Enough for maybe Forever? Apparently in India, some suitors are hiring private detectives to do just that. And business seems to be booming. It used to be that “on the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog.” As an unintended consequence, people now want to know exactly what kind of dog you are, how distinguished your pedigree is, and what packs you run in. Given the kind of business that online dating services do in the United States, it's a wonder that American private detectives haven't moved more vigorously to fill this particular niche. And while one might hope that “Love Conquers All,” it may have to endure questioning by a nosey, gravelly-voiced middle-aged man to do it.
