I've been a 'not stalk' kind of person since I've started dating post separation/divorce. Honestly, it's a rabbit hole that has in the past found me up at 3 AM knowing what kind of cereal someone eats. Buuut, I *think* I'm on the verge of change. Just ended a 7 month relationship with someone I met on a dating app. He went from saying he was divorced, to separated, to she moved out a half a minute ago. His recent separation ended up being *the* issue. I stalked him only when I was going to block him and IF I'd done it earlier, I'd have seen all the evidence of their 'complicated' relationship. But I like to meet people where they are, not where their social media is. All this said, going forward, I think your post 2d date rule has some merit and I'm going to keep it in mind.
