#49: Internet Stalking Anonymous

Shutup, you know you do it too.

Of course with the advent of Facebook, LinkdIn, Twitter, Youtube, etc. etc., finding a person's profile is easier than ever.  My coworkers and I do it all the time with clients, and I'm sure our clients do it to us.  But I'll take this conversation outside of using social media as a way to network.

Let me take this to the dating/interest/crush scene.   This is how it normally looks like...

Hey, I'm just saying that's what the conversations usually sound like. And then all of the girls (in my situation) will gather around and put in their 2 cents.

Facebook used for dating and telling crushes you like them

Don't get me started on this.  I was at the Houston Aeros Charity event the other day, and I overheard a groupie talking to her girlfriend and the conversation went something like this. (I will use another name to protect the innocent).

Miss Iam Interesded: Oh my gosh! Pat is SO hot. He totally knows I have a crush on him.  I wrote on his Facebook page before I came here.

Miss Tagalong: Wow.

Me: [thinking in my head] Wow, that is so lame.

And what happens at the end of the night? She leaves with her friend and without the guy.  And the guy is with his teammates acting like, well, like boys.

Anyway, I can't diss too much, I belong to Internet Stalking Anonymous. I Google guys and girls before my friends date them.  You never know about crazies these days!
