how often, if ever, have you googled an ex?

[momophile]

seems like I google my high school sweetheart every couple of months or so. I'd love to find a picture of him and know if he is happily married.

1. A couple of times

one time I thought I found the guy who gave me my first kiss. I emailed him. But it was another guy by the same name :(

[momophile]

4. how funny. you're braver than I am.

I've found a phone number, but I won't call.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. That was years ago

I wouldn't be able to search for him now. I forgot his last name. His first name was Jeremiah .... sigh .....

[graywarrior]

2. Thanks for reminding me.

[momophile]

3. get on it, girl!

do I have to send out reminders every few months?

[graywarrior]

7. Yes.

Then I wouldn't feel guilty. It would seem more like a duty.

5. only to see if she's in prison again

maybe once a year.

8. Heh, yeah, I have an ex like that.

I can almost always find his current address through the public case search in the state. He always has some new charge I can look up and remind myself why exactly I'm far better off without him.

He's in jail awaiting trial as I type.

9. I looked one up on myspace once, but I've never googled any of them.

And with that one we were fairly amicable the last time we talked, we just kinda drifted off in seperate directions and lost track of each other.

10. Once

several years ago. It didn't turn up much that was interesting. I would probably try it again, but I can't remember her married name. She could find me easily on the web, but I haven't heard from her, so...meh...

11. My ex boyfriend / fiance from Germany did that to me recently ...

he did some serious stalking ... he found my blogspot blog and e-mailed me via the e-mail address that I have on that site. I thought he was dead. I have'nt seen him in 3 years. I have a different life now and I have moved on ... he beat me up and stuff - too deep to explain but I don't hate him. I am just a different person now. He e-mailed me and told me he still loved me. I can't take time to stop and turn around because it would'nt be fair to the one I care about now. So that is life ...

12. sure, my first high school boyfriend is a software rich guy!

he sure doesn't look like he did when we were in high school though.

:rofl:

[Lyric]

13. Yeah, usually a few times a year.

It makes me feel a lot better to see how badly he's aging. :D

[Der Blaue Engel]

14. I google "the one that got away" regularly and still can't find her

I had a friend in college that I didn't realize I had feelings for until we had a stupid fight and I moved out of state without saying good-bye. At the time, we both thought we were straight, so our "inexplicably" deep bond was confusing to us both.

I don't know whether she identifies differently now, but I keep looking her up every so often. I've gotten close to finding her, but she keeps slipping away. :(

15. Tried it

For a former boyfriend. Problem is he shares a name with a character in a soap opera. I wasn't willing to sift through a million hits to find the real human being. Very smart guy. I was expecting to find him arguing before the Supreme Court or something.

[jgraz]

16. Two or three times, but we were both single and we'd had a few drinks

Oops, sorry -- you said "google". Nevermind.

[MorningGlow]

17. About once a year or so

Not that I'm proud of it. :blush:

Just one ex. I don't want to contact him or anything--I guess I'm curious about how he "turned out". I also googled a guy I had a crush on in college (although we never went out) and although I thought I'd find him plastered all over the Web, he's nowhere to be found. :shrug:

[catmandu57]

18. A couple of times

but it just feels too much like stalking and I'm not comfortable with that, but, curiosity got the better of me.

[CBHagman]

19. Just once.

At least I think it's my ex, still in Ohio when I've moved about a half dozen times since then.

[BarenakedLady]

20. I've tried once

But he shares a name with a famous person, so it's impossible.
