Guys, I can tell you that 99.9% of the time, if you give a woman your first and last name, she is going to Google you. It's just a fact. Some of us even get Google alerts on ourselves. So when the time comes and I present a gentleman with my first and last name, I have to wonder....do guys Google?I am Googleicious. If roles were reversed and I googled a guy and 1/2 the stuff that comes up on me, came up on him, I would think I hit the jackpot. My whole life shows up. Including this blog (hence, the whole my whole life thing). A guy that I just started seeing could type in my name and all of a sudden, have access to my past, my present and my future. He could immediately know all of the 100 things I want to do before I die. See ugly photos of me. Learn about my speech impediment. Understand how seriously I take the art of cheese. And of course, while on that subject, my picky picky eating habits. He could probably single handily from this blog, decide he never wants to see me again.
In this day and age, thanks to this world wide web, a relationship could end before it even begins. With Facebooks and MySpaces and Blogs and Twitters....and even if he did decide to see me again after reading this blog...WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT? I give HSCOOC all my best stories.
Don't get me wrong, this blog is my heart but it does take the mystery out of getting to know someone. This blog is me. Meet me. Katie Knoch. My whole life is an open URL for your reading pleasure.
So, guy...is that you? Did you Google me and you're reading this now freaking out because I'm totally on to you and your antics?
Or am I just being paranoid? Either way, this calls for a poll. I would imagine that like .02% of my readers are actually male but girls, maybe you could ask your men...did you ever Google me when we first met? Holler with your findings over to the left.

Not having been on the dating scene in quite some time, I can't say that I've googled a girl. But I certainly have googled people and am a complete facebook stalker. ha! I think if guys are hitting it off with someone, they are less likely to google. However, if they are having trouble getting together with someone they are interested in, then I'm sure they google to find that angle or see if it's worth the struggle.
I think it totally depends on the guy. For instance, I just asked Jake and he said "yeah, of course." But, he's a journalist. He's all about researching a subject, ya know. Honestly, I think a lot of them are just as bad as us when it comes to this stuff.
hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
