Net stalking

Burnsy2023 · 18 Feb 2009 at 10:27

Ok, would you think it was slightly strange for the parents of your fairly new girlfriend to stalk you on the net? That includes looking at Facebook profiles, OcUK posts, Twitter, Blogs etc?

Would you do it for your daughter/son?

Do I have a right to be scared? :eek:

How would they view your profile on Facebook if you've set it to friends only? I assume you didn't add them as friends!

Good question. I havn't figured that out yet.

No.

How do you know they're stalking you? Maybe they're avid overclockers!

I doubt that somewhat.

You have evidence to back up your conclusion?

My experience of my girlfriends parents?

If I had a daughter it would be perfect way of vetting "candidates" to date her.

Bear in mind we are both 22. It's not like we're kids or anything.

How do you know your on ocuk ?

how you know they reading ocuk?

Because she mentioned to my GF about the 'Post your GF thread' in passing conversation. That's all I know. We assumed that she got the username from the OcUK facebook group. Whether she's been to all my other content like twitter remains to be seen but I think it's likely.

Didn't you say in a previous thread that your girlfriend reads these forums, too?

She's a member, yes.

Thats not a very nice thing to call someone especially your girlfriend!

Hehe

I'm not that worried. I don't post anything online that I definetly don't want to be public. Just a little creepy, that's all.

Finally you are a student, geek, look shifty and use those crazy walking/jumping boots. Any parent would be in their right mind to be suspicious!

Nice vote of confidence there

I'm not sure but is calling your girlfriends parents creepy really a good way to start off a relationship with them? Personally I'd be erring on the side of not, especially on a public forum that you've already said you know they might read but each to their own and all that jazz.

I'm not calling them creepy, I'm calling stalking me on the net creepy. Two different things

In fairness, it doesn't take much stalking. Googling your real name and location goes straight to your twitter, which gives them your username

I didn't realise that....

Was it something they said or did your girlfriend tell you? If they told you then they might be warning you to be careful about what you post in future (no shots of their daughter in provocative poses for instance)

I was told from my GF and as for the 'provocative' poses, if it's ok'd by the GF, then that's all that matters. And I made sure I asked the GF before posting them
