Do Stalkers Have It Too Easy?


If you have a crush and you want to find out more about them, it's pretty easy to get the 411. There's Google, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Foursquare, Youtube, Linkdn, blogs… is that enough?

People who aren't stalkers become stalkers, and people who are stalkers, only have more ammunition to find what they are looking for. With so many advances in technology, it's hard not to stalk someone that you're interested in. How many times have you clicked on your crush's Facebook page and looked at their pics? How many times have you google'd your date? How many times have you checked to see where your boyfriend is on Foursquare? Yes, we've all done it.

Whatever happened to the days of driving past someone's house to see if they were home! Now, all you have to do is log on to Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare and you'll know exactly where they are and what they are doing. Sometimes I just wish we could go back to the days of Zack Morris phones. Life was so much easier back then.

Is it better to know absolutely everything about your significant other, or is it better to be left to the imagination?

Definitely better to be left to your imagination. I miss life before facebook/myspace etc. Though I will admit that I found my hubs online, and of COURSE I researched him to make sure he was a legit person. So there's pros and cons. So long as you don't let the facestalking get out of hand I guess there's no real harm in it. Plus, if you don't want creepers checking you out, then set your profile to private!

"Stalking" is an integral park of the dating scene these days, and an important one. This is how I found out someone I was dating was a felon and someone else was married. So, with that I say....."better stalk than be sorry."

Better stalk than be sorry. This is how I found out one person I was dating was a married and another a convicted felon.
