i just had a question out of the billion thoughts i usually have in a day, is it already stalking if you are searching a guy on the internet like knowing everything about him?! well in my case im just so interested with this guy and have the adrenalin to know about him. but i have no plans on knowing his address and his schedules and follow him wherever he go. but i have done knowing his background and all, like knowing his family members and every details about him....

I think that's not stalking. You just want to know him better. Stalking for me is like being obssessed into someone. Your daily activities will be affected if you stalk and worst is the people around you as well. Stalking is too much focus to follow or investigate a person to the extent that you forget that you have your own life to continue.

Getting to know someone you don't know is a bit stalker-ish.. On a level 1 to 10, maybe a 5 because you're not looking for his personal address/schedule/family but you want to know as much as you can about him. What are you interested in? Him to be a future boyfriend or??

im not interested with this guy because i want him to be my girlfriend or something if thats what you think! i have just this deep interest of knowing him because i admire him cause his so talented and i find him so charismatic that i admit i am captivated with his charms that made me want to know him better!! that's all!!

you don't have to go too far. sometimes we do things we think is harmless, of course it can be harmless unless you act on it further, causing people stress, or maybe causing troubles. but if you are just checkng out their facebook pages, i won't say that it is even close to stalking.

Do you look for him on chat sites? If you do then that would be considered stalking. In this day and age you have to be very careful because anyone looking at your internet usage would wrongly conclude it as stalking.

based on what you have done so far, this is clearly 'developing' signs or symptoms of a "stalker", lol! stalkers are accustomed to follow purposely be it physically or through collectively gathering as much detail or info. admittedly on your part, the rush or adrenalin builds up 'interest' on the personality of the person, trying to figure him out and hoping to know more.

hello, Ah well we can say it a little bit stalking? he he Just kidding Well, seriously for me it is not a stalking you just want to know who he is. right? If he is a good person or not. You just said that you dont follow him wherever he go(if you do you are a stalker he he).right?Well, it is just natural to know a person that you have a crush on and in your case you just thinking on how you will know the person.

Honestly, yeah it may be stalking.. But I can pretty much guarantee you 99% of girls who have internet are cyber stalking ATLEAST one person without even realizing it. Seriously whenever one of my friends is on Facebook, there is always a guy they are checking up on.. Along with a bunch of other people who they barely know. That's what Facebook is, for girls to stalk.. Maybe some guys too but they really can't be bothered to waste time on that like us girls.
