'It's a huge red flag and you know it': First date gives man the creeps after she spills her invasive 'research'

One guy took to the r/ask subreddit with a burning question after a first date took a strange turn. Is this how dating works in the modern age? 

As he explained, he went on a first date with a woman, and it seemed to be going well. But after the date — and spending the night at her place — he realized that she had spilled a little too much information about him. She had researched him beforehand, and just rattled off all this personal information. At the time, the OP thought it was really weird, and asked the Reddit community if she was justified in researching him beforehand.

In the comments, the OP did add that what his date found was uncovered from publicly available information, like social media. The things she knew about him, like previous states he'd lived in, could be found that way, but she went even further and dug up information about his whole extended family. 

In the comments, people were quite divided on if the woman had gone too far, or if she was justified in researching publicly available information. In today's day and age, you have to do your research before you meet IRL. But there's no need to just lay all that information out on the table from date number one! Just make sure you aren't dating someone with a troubling history. 

Then, check out these cursed lattes and frappucinos that have more sugar and flavoring than coffee.
