In a viral video, Madi (@immadeleine) detailed a very upsetting dating experience.

She may have thought the guy was “cute,” but his looks weren’t enough to offset the “creepy” factor.

RESEARCHED ROMANCE

One potential way to avoid your own rude encounter is to “seek out” your love interest.

Things seemed to have started well – but no happily ever after was in the cards for this couple.

Asking questions about work and friends is normal, but seeming like you already “know” many of the answers is not.

Another lesson: listen to your gut.

IN THE STARS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Don’t “ignore” something or attribute this type of behavior to someone who simply casually scrolls through your social media.

Instead, conduct your own Instagram investigation.

In this case, his “heart sank” when he realized that his username was very familiar.

In fact, he had messaged her dozens of times over five years.

And that wasn’t all.

He clearly knew more than he was letting on – much more.

He had already responded to several stories about his personal and professional life.

A little honesty would have gone a long way.

After all, it is an important part of any relationship.

LOOK AT YOUR LOVE

His fans weighed in on the mind-boggling subject.

“Shows initiative. He found out where you were going and was ready to impress you haha,” said one follower.

“Yes. That’s scary,” said another viewer.

Others agreed that looking for someone can save you from headaches — and not just in the dating world.

“Always! I do background checks!” said a follower.

“Same for bosses! Always Google it – you’d be surprised to see who you’re working for,” said another viewer.

Some men also gave their opinion on the matter.

“I get so scared when girls look for me before going out,” said one follower.

“My current wife did a lot of research on me before we went out,” said another viewer.

According to a Avast StudyMore than half of all online daters “research” their date before any in-person meeting.
