    Why You Should ALWAYS Facebook Stalk Your Date

    So much to know, such little time.

    So, you’ve met someone new. And everything seems to be going so well... too well.

    But the internet is a wonderful thing with which to allay your fears.

    You could check out their exes.

    You can check out their pad without leaving the house.

    Check out their friends…

    See what your kids might look like.

    Time to assess their ‘likes’.

    Then maybe check out their style.

    Finally, you’re all done.
