How often do you "stalk" someone you like on social media?

Question

I stalk new boyfriends or guys who are soon to become my boyfriend, but no-one else in particular. 

But if you have a crush, how often do you look at all their posts? Do you check them out more if you feel you're about to date?

I'm the same as you, I only do it to a guy I'm dating, or a guy I think I might possibly end up dating.

It depends how often I know they post stuff. If he was someone who posts a lot, I would probably check once a day.. (don't want to miss anything good).. haha. The guy I'm crushing on now doesn't post a ton. But he will every few days, or sometimes just once a week. So I usually look every 4 or 5 days.. I feel a little creepy admitting that.

Oh well, he should make his Twitter private if he doesn't want me reading his tweets.. haha :)

Hahah, when i first see someone that i think is cute i find them on Facebook and just creep them ;p As for the guy that i like right now, when i first started talking to him i was constantly creeping his facebooks and pictures and somehow ended up on his siblings wedding page from like 5 years ago... so that was creepy.

I never "stalk" anyone on social media. Lol Most of the time I'm really not even on any forms of social media (unless you count this site as social media haha!). I rarely get on Facebook or anything else.

i dont have a Facebook and i rarely go on social media so never really. on occasion i meet girls on the internet and i always reverse image search them, because people are so full of shit on the internet. if it turns out they're not catfishing as some model or actress i give em my number. and occasionally if they are pretending to be a model i add that model on modelmayhem to see if i can get an introduction with the real thing. mostly its just to weed out the insane people, the only time i really go Facebook stalking is with people i hate.

I don't stalk anybody neither on social media nor in real life. However, I keep an eye on everybody, but I don't include it in stalking. I (think) can read the people's intentions easily, so nobody is worth to waste my time on. I'm not against of stalking, TBH I try to make people to stalk me.

I don't necessarily check her profile out to see what's she's up to just to look at old pics or status's she wrote about me I think its more of a self centered thing with me hahah 😳

I "stalk" I guess everday, my crush. I use to see him a lot when i was 12 and I haven't seen him until this year. I dont even know why, I think he turned out to be soo handsome and I want to get to know him. I unfortunately think that if I was to say something to him ill get let down so for now im just seeing how he doing by checking his fb. Sometimes when I see that he is upset or mad I want to help, its just not that easy.

Hans222 · Answer

If there's someone I really like, probably every day. But that's on GAG, I'm not on Facebook or other social media except LinkedIn. And I do it by filtering for questions from my followings/followers. And by just interacting with them whenever possible :-)

mikedavis33b · Answer

I think its just plain weird to stalk them every single day or every few hours, I think its okay to do it just to make sure ur not going out with a nut job, but typically I try not to even look or pay attn to their sites, bc I want it to be real between us. js

emilyg25 · Answer

Durty · Answer

young lady, you just freaked out every possible guy who might have been interested in you by posting online to the world that you're an annoying stalker.

lalalovee · Answer

I get curious about the guy and I like to see his photos and smile. Just because. I don't mean to be creepy; I just like seeing how he's doing. And sometimes check if he is talking to any other ladies...

If my bf doesn't respond to a message I can tell if he is on fb by looking at our last recent message convo... that just ends up pissing me off tho lol. I just deleted my fb.

LousyLoudMusic · Answer

I never stalk anyone, sometime some that are friends of my friends ads me on social sites, or start to text me. so I take a quick look on what they look like. but that is it.

Theshaft169 · Answer

You have Major trust issues and very insecure I think.
Your the type that can never be with out a guy. Your allways looking. You start the next relationship b4 you even end the one your in.
On top of that , your in relationships you don't even care about the guy. Just because you have no independence at all. You need to be taken care of. Can't even tvink for your self. Your a follower. Not a leader.
Ring any bells?

dartmaul15 · Answer

i don't. It's more than a little creepy if a girl you just met and clicked with suddenly knew EVERYTHING about your life.  plus, i'd rather share that face to face

I keep tabs on one of our area's registered sex offenders to make sure they don't set up social media accounts. The court forbid them to do so and I'd really like to catch them and see them back in jail.

Anonymous · Answer

Never. I'm fortunate enough to not have that burden with not being on Facebook or anything like that. So I'm blissfully ignorant and ignorantly blissful with someone I might be dating lol

Margo7 · Answer

Every so often. The guy I'm sort of into right now doesn't really post much, though, so there's very little point in Facebook stalking him.

JayB124 · Answer

So all those times girls have told me they have been going through my Facebook... Oh... Yeah. that makes a lot of sense.

TheEnding · Answer

I used to do that much more often, but not so much anymore. If I have a crush, I'll probably only look once. Unless of course she had some really cute picture or something that I would want to keep looking at.

Flowercharm · Answer

I tend to avoid their profiles. I don't know what it is but I just can't bring myself to look at their profiles.  I haven't even looked at my boyfriends profile.
