l2hvn Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 ever googled your current s.o./ex/potential mate and found out something that you NEVER knew about? how would you handle it? would you wished to have never googled it in the first place? or would you be glad for that info?
NTB Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 depends on what i find out but i guess in any case i would rather know than be in the dark
Skullcrusher Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Unless you're in a court case or been a physical victim of something, searching for personal info "just because you can" is weak and pathetic. I let my experience with the person inform me not someone elses.
Author l2hvn Posted April 27, 2005 Author Posted April 27, 2005 skullcrusher: what if that other person never told you about it, and don't ever plan to? this whole time, you thought they're who they say they are, or who you think they are, but they're really not. they live double lives. and the reason for googling (at least for me) is not "just because you can"... sometimes you want answers.
LucreziaBorgia Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I Googled myself a while ago, and much to my astonishment found myself mentioned in someone's blog - a single encounter more than 15 years ago which apparently made quite an impression on the person. It was a trip re-living that one, as I remember it being pretty fun. I had no idea it would pop up in such a way. Its pretty amazing what can turn up like that. I'm sure a lot more people Google their mates than would ever let on. I've Googled lots of people I know, mostly out of just pure boredom or just to see what would pop up. Never found anything really good though, or that I didn't already know.
Author l2hvn Posted April 28, 2005 Author Posted April 28, 2005 yeah i googled myself a bazillion times too.. just curious to see what's out there.. found none. so i guess that's a good thing. oh, actually one site.. my alma mater.. heh.. i know that doesn't count. i personally don't see anything wrong with googling. i actually encourage it just to see if the person i'm with is really the person who he says he is. the reason i posted this thread is because i found out something about a guy i used to see a while back... it turned out i was dating a married man.... i had no idea!!! he never told me about it. in fact, he told me he's never been married. so he lied to me. it all makes sense now... how he has two houses in two different states.. how his cell phone # is from the state that he doesn't even stay at regularly... how he spoiled me and pampered me just because (out of guilt perhaps).... how things have happened between us... because he pulled that disappearing act... *poof! no more phone calls/emails/text (when he used to do it everyday)..... so one boring afternoon at work, i just surfed the 'net and googled his name just to see what comes out of it. and voila! there it was... tons of info. pictures too... the funny thing was, i googled him before (when we were together) and nothing of importance/difference came out at the time.. weird. yep.. it definitely makes a lot of sense now.... gee... i should've known it... there were clues out there the whole time.. i didn't pick up... but that was from my past... i mean, in a way it bothered me a bit but now that i think about it, i'm glad i knew about it.
