Google Stalking

My name is Ally and I'm a Google Stalker. I will probably always be a GS - I'm super nosy and that hasn't changed in 32 years. I know I shouldn't necessarily stalk potential dates but don't tell me the curiousity wouldn't kill you, much like the cat.

Anyway.

Today I found one potential downfall to the Google Stalk - the mutual friend. So I've finally reached the email stage with this guy from eHarmony. His email contained his full name and per usual, off to Google I went, barely even reading his email (which, for the record, has been kind of boring with no sign of asking me out - but that's a rant for another day). I found his Facebook page and then discovered we have a mutual friend. I sat on this information for a day and then I had to know the situation. And I got the dirt from Mutual Friend and some of the information paints Potential Date (PD) in a semi-negative light. Nothing that I probably wouldn' t have found out anyway and I'll still go out with him, but I wonder if perhaps I should have just sucked it up and waited.

Thoughts from the peanut gallery? Do you Google Stalk? Positive? Negative?

Next time: Passive guys are online dating because they are passive and how this is super frustrating.

Have a great weekend!
