In this episode, we delve into the world of relationships and the delicate balance of gathering information about a potential date or partner without crossing boundaries. We explore the reasons why someone might resort to "online stalking" and weigh the pros and cons of this practice. The pros include fact-checking and uncovering more information, while the cons touch upon the intrusive nature and potential misinterpretations.

The episode highlights signs that indicate when online stalking might be taken too far, such as lingering curiosity after a relationship ends or resorting to elaborate strategies like creating fake accounts. The negative effects of excessive online stalking are discussed, including self-esteem issues and the hindrance of personal growth.

To overcome the "stalking" phase, the podcast suggests practical steps such as removing the person from social media, seeking support from friends and family, and engaging in self-care activities. The importance of immersing oneself in positive experiences, trying new things, and fostering self-love is emphasized as a way to break free from the cycle of constant online monitoring.

In the wrap-up, the episode encourages listeners to strike a balance between gathering information and allowing organic connections to develop. The key takeaway is to approach online interactions with a healthy mindset, fostering genuine connections while respecting personal boundaries.
