I always run background checks. There's nothing wrong with this
Well, maybe there's nothing "wrong" about it exactly. But the fact you always run background checks does suggest you are an extremely suspicious person, a person who immediately regards newcomers to your life as potential threats. That is a rather paranoid, hostile worldview. I hope the people you run these checks on know about that aspect of your personality.
I couldn't imagine running a background check on someone. So I find a DUI from 4 years ago or a possession charge when she was 18. Seriously, who cares?

Canada Customs. You won't be able to cross the border with her.
Ever run a background check on someone your dating? Thinking about dating? Or marrying? Parents, would this be useful when your daughters start dating? Judiciary case search websites will pull everything up from texting while driving, to DUI's, to domestic abuse, bankruptcy to felonies.
I like to figure people out on my own. I trust how I feel when I feel about our interactions.
People can also be falsely accused of something they didn't do.
What's more useful for me is to run a credit check on the person I decide to marry. I think they way a person handles their finances is also VERY indicative of what's to possibly expect. Unless, credit fraud messed up their score.
How do you get a background check if you only have a first name and a cell phone number?
Reverse Phone directory look up is usually a dbase one of those type of sites has access too.
To the OPs question, I never have run a background check on someone I dated, though once in my early 20s when I had a friend in the PD had them run the plate of someone I was interested in to verify something.
It really would depend on level of interaction. If I was a landlord I would do so regularly on potential tenants. As for potential life mate I'd likely find most stuff via internet in today's age unless there was some red flag that popped up when I had never expected it. There's a good amount of stuff out there if you know where to dig.
If I had children, I would for there bf/gf, especially if the children didn't seem very good judges of character and I had never met them or the other kids parents. At a past job, I had a colleague do so for his daughter's bf who he had suspicions about (shady behavior). I'd be more concerned with certain types of behavior / patterns of issues, etc... not so much a one off incident of something someone could explain in context to assuage concerns about, i.e. they learned from their mistake.
