Advice for fellow men, don't look up the girl you're dating

Interesting girl I’ve been talking to on OkC for a while now, I finally get her number (she’s hard to get a hold of).

“Ah, but I’m at work and I don’t have her name! I’ll just Google the number first and see if I can get it. Easy enough.”

Long story short: in under 10 minutes, I found her Facebook account, her mother’s Facebook account, her mother’s place of business, home address, and Twitter account.

I dabble in Information Security as part of my job and as a hobby, so I thought I’d take a moment to contact her on Facebook. The idea was that she’d ask how I found her Facebook info and I’d start a discussion on how she could better protect her information on the Internet as what she thought was private was anything but.

Let’s just say things went downhill very quickly.
