I think you’ve done a good job of balancing real vs. privacy. The whole google issue is important. Case in POINT:

I (well, not me, but my keeper, Thursday Girl) was online dating last summer and supposed to meet a guy for the first time down in San Juan Capistrano for lunch. That morning, before she left, it occurred to her that she didn’t even know this guy’s last name… But, she did have his email address. So she googled it.

Oh my. She was glad she did!

Turns out he had posted to a message board about having had trouble getting rid of his gonorrhea he had acquired while in Thailand. He was also a member of a ‘kink’ website.

So, despite the lovely weather and her strong desire to go to the beach…she bowed out of the date. (She didn’t have the guts to tell him what she had found–just that she had a personal emergency)

So anyway, yeah, the whole google thing is good to consider.

Have a great weekend!

Purrs,
