Internet stalking...

[Tesla]

is it wrong?

I mean, people like to use the same username... so, if they happen to have a myspace, OKcupid, livejournal, and youtube account with the same username, it's not like it's hard to find all of this stuff.

I've been stalking a girl I've met.

For a couple hours.

If they use the same user name they are asking you to do it

[Icequeen]

I really doubt a couple of hours can classify you as a stalker. 

Now if it becomes a daily habit you may want to seek help.

[El]

It's normal IMO.

Just don't take it too far.   Move onto another person that is hotter, more interesting and more intelligent.    There is always another one of those.

I asked her out.  She said she'd be happy to... 

Suhweet.

Its not if no harm is done from it.

I've "stalked" people, but it's onlt been as bad as looking at the online list on a website all the time. It's more of a short lived aspergers obsession with me. I once fished out about 10 internet profiles on a girl, just to see if she was lying about what she said. None of these people knew about this, and I doubt they would care.

I don't know if it is actually "normal,"   but isn't that the whole point of all those types of sites. I think it's like what was already mentioned, if someone continually uses the same name across several social sites, they are certainly inviting you to search them out, contact them and also making it very easy to do.

I see no harm at all, as long as it remains a passing fancy or like Tesla attempting to make straight forward, honest contact is why these sites exist and thrive.

Very sensible comment from the Dawg.

Give her one for me Tesla! (Not quite as sensible comment from Sir_Les_Patterson)  :lol:

Browsing for a person's social networking page isn't stalking, you ass. It's a quiet obsession.

I usually have to bail when they start noticing big locks of hair missing. The annoying thing is I could still pull it off, but I just get so...greedy...in the moment or something.

Depends on context, but I'm actually starting to think that in this day and age it's at least unsurprising if not actually normal to google/ferret out some online info about people you've newly met (or, in the case of people you've met online, are considering contacting/meeting).  I kind of assume people will, at least in said context.

The same as I just assume I am now on camera every time I go in a store.

I'v googled the names of people from my past, not to stalk, but, to see if there was any news about them, curiosity is a powerful thing.  I certainly don't intend to contact the people I look up.  Besides on several info sites, it's expensive to get the address and othe info needed to contact.  I'm too lazy and can think of other things I would rather spend my money on.!

I have been stalked somewhat over the internet, although it didn't last long. That's what I get for giving them my email address. Now I am very careful who I give the address to and I don't really like PMing anymore either.
