Guys, I have a question for you. There is something I'm seeing a lot lately and I just can't fucking figure it out.


I'm a kinky female. I'm into some rather dirty things, but otherwise am a 'normal', functioning member of society. I go to school, work, have friends, travel, do normal people shit. I'm a genuine person, and would like to think that one day maybe I'll end up dating a kinky guy who is also a normal functioning member of society.

Because of my kinks, meeting said kinky guy isn't something that can be achieved at the bar down the block. So, occasionally, if I happen to be in a topical chat room and spend time chatting with someone who seems interesting, I'll exchange contact info.

Obviously, I have a fake name and a non-descript email address for early interactions. If things go well after a while, I bump them up to my normal email. This recently happened with a guy I was chatting with. He seemed interesting and cool, etc, etc, outside of his filthy mind. My bumping him up was a sign of trust, right? Right.

Well, in our conversations, I mentioned that I had been on television and I disclosed the channel name. After I sent him the first email from my normal address, he responds back "Yadda yadda, P.S. You looked cute on Enter Channel Name Here."

Which, anyone with half a brain can guess means that he googled me. Yes, I gave him my name, and knew that would give him access to whatever comes up in a search for my name. However, it's my personal belief that even if you are given someone's full name in this sort of situation, googling that person is an invasion of privacy. It's like googling your date before you meet them. I don't think it's cool.

So, I responded by saying that I wish he hadn't googled me, trusted him with my name, not regretted it. He then tells me that he was joking. That he "was just being cute and whimsical". He said he guessed he didn't realize that in text, "cuteness is hard to see."

Cute and whimsical? Seriously?


I've had this scenario act itself out a couple times lately, though the previous occasion was less invasive and had nothing to do with my personal info.


When chatting with and genuinely hoping to get to know someone, is it a common occurrence for you lot to make jokes about stalking them/doing internet searches on the person?


I really do not believe that he didn't google me. Unless you are purposefully trying to freak someone out for a laugh, I really can't even find a perspective to look at this through that makes it funny.

What the shit is this shit about, man?

" trusted him with my name, not regretted it. "

Oops! OP here. "NOW regretted it" is how it should read.

Once you've given out your name, you can't get it back. Always assume the other person you're talking to WILL Google you to find out whatever there is to find. Also, I'm not sure that your contact was entirely clear on the trust thing. In the future, make sure to spell out in no uncertain terms what you expect him to do/not do. Vague Disclaimers Are No Ones Friend.

You're right, plain and simple. Just because someone can Google doesn't mean they should. Here's hoping that you find a gentleman in your future.

Trust becomes rust. Gotta keep polishing the metal to keep it clean.

Really? I mean, really, really!?

I would have googled, and expected you to do the same, purely for safety reasons.
And I don't think the word 'privacy' applies to stuff on the interweb that anyone can find.

(not slagging you off, just completely unable to understand your point of view)

Did you at any point make him aware of your preferences? And I agree with the other posters, if I meet a stranger off the internet and they tell me that 1) they've been on tv and 2) their name is (name here), then unless I've been explicitly instructed not to look this person up, I'm going to look her/him up.

An invasion of privacy would detail something like stalking someone on Facebook and finding out where they live, what they like, what movies they watch. Googling a public tv channel appearance strikes me more as a matter of curiosity than anything. If you were so concerned about keeping that shit private then don't disclose specifics when you don't have to!

You're too paranoid. Anyone who says they wouldn't Google you is full of shit just in the hopes you'll talk to them.

To even care is stupid. Think of how many people give out their Facebook instead of their number or email. Would it then be an invasion of privacy to go looking that their Facebook?

Only a fucking idiot doesn't check on people before meeting them. Thanks Google, both for compromising our privacy and helping us to keep it at the same time.

privacy is a very sensitive issue.
HOWEVER, googling someone is in no way breach of privacy. It's like 50 years ago when people would go around and ask about a person from those who knew him/her. now it has become faster and easier, like Everything else.

Don't give out your real name. give a fake name, but if you want more contact, give them your real phone number. even set a date, still with that fake name. That name wouldn't change anything apart from giving them the ability to look you up, and you know that too. So in case you don't want them to search for you, don't give out your real name.

Personally, I wouldn't date someone if they tell me their name and ask me not to search for them in the Internet. That's so awkward.
