With all of my romantic interests, I’ve always stalked their Instagrams before speaking to them or going on a date. It felt better to “get to know them” by myself and then make a decision on them, rather than doing it more organically. Sometimes there’s positives to this (safety being the main one) but ultimately I think it’s a negative, because all we have to go off of in this scenario is our perception of them. On the flip side, when I am talking to a romantic interest and we exchange Instagram profiles, I always get excited to imagine them stalking me and wonder how they perceive me, especially because sometimes I feel like I do a better job of presenting myself online than I do in real life.
