CONFESSED!!! Have you every googled an Ex?

[LynneSin]

I'm not talking to the point of stalking the person but seriously, don't you ever wonder what happened to your HS sweetheart that got away or some over love long lost gone?

I was bored yesterday. I found out one is a bank VP of a local bank and the other one teaches middle school.

I would never take it beyond that.

[woo me with science]

1. Yup.

Happened to google him on the day after he posted his wedding pictures online.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

2. Niiiiiice

That sucks...

[pacalo]

3. Guilty!

Someone posted a site where you could look up a name & find out addresses & phone numbers, plus other info that turned out to be just so wrong, such as income, home value, wealth. I looked up my name first; I could only dream that I was so well off!

But it's fun to look them up anyway. Most of my old boyfriends still live in the same area as I, though. :)

[Bunny]

4. Sure I have.

I found out that one of them is a successful real estate attorney in Las Vegas.

[Brickbat]

5. Many of them, all the time.

I'm always curious about what people are doing, and not necessarily in a wistful or regretful way. I just like knowing because I'm a huge-ass snoop.

[madinmaryland]

6. I have, but...

I actually had to "friend" her on facebook to get a hold of my son. :puke:

[Kali]

7. hard when you don't know their last names

:rofl:

[tigereye]

11. you wild woman you!

:rofl:


to be honest, there were a few in college whose last names I never knew... :hide: But hell, it was the 70s. :evilgrin:

[Capn Sunshine]

13. I KNOW!!!!

really. Was "Sunny" a real name? How about "Starflower"? Or "Crystal"?
:rofl:

[tanyev]

8. Oh, yeah.

Found that he was active in an online motorcyle forum and made an ass of himself there, too.

[tigereye]

9. sure!

One is head of a software corporation (and lost all his hair, sadly) and the other one is an accountant somewhere.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I've tried...

But I could never be sure the names I found were actually theirs.

So, it came to nothing.

I even tried to find the guy who made my wedding ring; no luck at all.

Oh well...

I couldn't even find me! :cry:

[Kali]

12. haHAHAHHAHAHA

"I couldn't even find me!" I can TOTALLY relate!:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Hi Kali!

Glad I'm not the only one!

[quakerboy]

19. I found me

Apparently I am a European soccer star. I never knew. Pretty sweet, I hope I'm the smart kinda sports star who's sockin the money away and living a moderate lifestyle, because when my knees or whatnot give out, I'm gonna need that nest egg.

[GalleryGod]

14. Well..of course I have.

Found out that they've become very successful...corporate lawyer,Nursing Supervisor,Real Estate Agent,AC Casinos publicist and some other stuff.
Sometimes:blush: the images are:wow:

Not a stalker-just interested.:think:

[femmocrat]

16. Many times... but unsuccessfully.

I have tried the usual places online, but have had no luck. I just wonder if one of them is still alive!

[triguy46]

17. OK, I admit to doing this. But in searching for an old HS sweetheart...

how do you get around not knowing her married name?

[begin_within]

32. well there's always

the dreaded classmates.com

[The Wielding Truth]

18. Yes.

[yurbud]

20. facebook has kind of taken the fun out of it

now it's mostly like shooting fish in a barrel.

Two of my ex-gf's are now facebook friends.

[Forkboy]

21. I barely cared about them then.

:hide:

[Angel]

28. Nice to know.

[nolabear]

22. Did I just have a past full of rolling stones?

I can never find anybody. Yes, I went to ten schools in twelve years, and have a couple of ex husbands, but we were all decent enough people that just couldn't stay married to one another so I'd imagine they have lives (and we were very young). Damned if I can find them, nor can I find an old friend whose letters kept me off the roof for a couple of very bad high school years. Problem with women is that we so often take a different last name.

Tips appreciated.

[marzipanni]

23. I like being an internet sleuth,

just to test my skills, and satisfy my curiosity. It's fun!

If the person doesn't have a really common name try Intelius.com, which will search all 50 states at once if you don't know where they live. The search results almost always include age, which is helpful in determining if it's the person you know. It also includes spouse and grown children's names. Any of this information is from public records.
Other information-DOB, Phone, Address, Avg. Income, Avg. Home Value, is available if you want to pay $1.95 - though while looking it up just now I found they are having a "sale" and charging .95 ¢.

Classmates.com lists women by their last name used at school, if they have joined, and if you join (free) you can look up any school and specify one grad year or a span of years. You can also search within Classmates to see if someone you knew is listed in these other categories-people, K-12 Schools, Colleges, Neighborhoods, Workplaces. Almost 1/2 of my class is listed.

30. I like being an internet stalker

it is fun!!!

[Aristus]

24. Every once in a while, I search Facebook for a Jersey girl I loved once.

Her profile has been up and down, and up again, but never with a picture.

I should stop trying...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

25. Yes.

And I don't want ANY of my old boyfriends back.

One of them is now a rabid jesus freak. Thank Zeus I didn't marry him!!!

[JCMach1]

26. No, they just all added me on Facebook

:eyes:

[kwassa]

27. If women changed their last names when they married, it is impossible to find them

so I have no idea where they would be.

On the other hand, I can Google myself, and discover that I am famous in many different fields! The joys of having a common name, which can make someone equally hard to find among the many.

[cbdo2007]

29. I only really have two exes and I'm friends with both of them on Facebook.

So we pretty much know exactly what is going on in each other's lives. It's fun to see what they're up to now and to know they're ok and stuff. No remorse at all (at least from my end) just like to know they're doing well and we'll even chat sometimes.

[begin_within]

31. On a regular basis.

Not to contact them, just to see who has the more pathetic life now. And it's always them.

[Skittles]

33. nope, and can truly say I never have

they certainly have looked ME up though :mad:

[clyrc]

34. I did before Facebook

I found the ones who didn't have very common names. Now I'm FB friends with one of them, but one of them declined my request and one of them unfriended me. There are still two out there I would like to know about, you know, just out of curiosity.

[JonLP24]

35. I can't even find myself on Google

I doubt I could find other people so no.

[Richard Steele]

36. Yes- 3 weeks ago, I finally googled the most amazing woman i have ever been with.

It ended badly.

[mopinko]

37. yeah, i found out he had just died.

it was a relief. not in the 'he is not ever going to haunt me again' sense, but in the 'if i ever bump into him again i am going to have a really hard choice to make' sense.

[Parche]

38. an ex what??

:rofl::hug:
