In the digital age, we've all gotten to test our skills at social media sleuthing. When you meet a cute stranger in public and wonder if you can find them on social media in the hopes of sliding into their DM's, it all seems innocent enough at the beginning. But when does your sleuthing online become more stalkerish than endearing? At what point are you legitimately the creeper trailing the actions of your local hottie–Joe Goldberg style.

The woman in our next story pushed the limits of this concept, orchestrating her own 'perfect' love story with a handsome stranger… at all costs. It really puts into perspective just how easy it is to follow a stranger home, doesn't it? You can keep scrolling to read the undoubtedly entertaining tale of a woman's obsession with a stranger that hopefully doesn't end with a John Doe in the trunk of her SUV.

    I saw this really cute guy at the grocery store the other day
    via savannaxshea
  • 02
    I followed him to the checkout counter
    via savannaxshea
  • 03
    and when he gave the cashier his credit card
    via savannaxshea
  • 04
    I peeped it to see what his name was
    via savannaxshea
  • 05
    and then I googled him and found his social media profiles
    via savannaxshea
  • 06
    and I was able to tell that he was single
    via savannaxshea
  • 07
    so I went through his friends list
    via savannaxshea
  • 08
    and I found his mother's page
    via savannaxshea
  • 09
    and then I looked through his mother's page
    via savannaxshea
  • 10
    and I saw that she was a member of this book club that's in my area
    via savannaxshea
  • 11
    so I sent a request to join the book club
    via savannaxshea
  • 12
    so I went to the book club meeting
    via savannaxshea
  • 13
    and I met his mom there
    via savannaxshea
  • 14
    and we bonded over some books that we both liked
    via savannaxshea
  • 15
    and she just thought I was so nice
    via savannaxshea
  • 16
    and I brought it up randomly in conversation that I was single
    via savannaxshea
  • 17
    and she let me know that she had a son that was single also
    via savannaxshea
  • 18
    that lived in the area
    via savannaxshea
  • 19
    and maybe it would be cool for us to get together and chat sometime
    via savannaxshea
  • 20
    so I gave her my number
    via savannaxshea
  • 21
    which she gave to her son
    via savannaxshea
  • 22
    and this morning
    via savannaxshea
  • 23
    he texted me and asked if I'd like to get together this weekend and do something
    via savannaxshea
  • 24
    so I guess we're gonna go on a date
    via savannaxshea
  • 25
    I'm really excited
    via savannaxshea
  • 26
    I can't believe how many people were interested in my story yesterday
    via savannaxshea
  • 27
    M so I'm gonna go ahead and give you an update now
    via savannaxshea
  • 28
    because I just can't wait until the weekend honestly
    via savannaxshea
  • 29
    So since he texted me yesterday ICIP
    via savannaxshea
  • 30
    C I went to Snapchat and found his public profile
    via savannaxshea
  • 31
    CLP and he posted a story this morning of him walking his dogs
    via savannaxshea
  • 32
    I can see a street sign behind as him
    via savannaxshea
  • 33
    I went to Google Maps כוון HIT
    via savannaxshea
  • 34
    CID and looked up all the streets in our city that have that name
    via savannaxshea
  • 35
    I was able to click on the street views and pan around
    via savannaxshea
  • 36
    CIP until I found the exact surroundings that were in his Snapchat story
    via savannaxshea
  • 37
    CID I don't know if this is the neighborhood he lives in
    via savannaxshea
  • 38
    ICID or if it's just where he was walking his dogs
    via savannaxshea
  • 39
    כני but I did check it out ICI
    via savannaxshea
  • 40
    CIT and it looks like there's a lot of cute little coffee shops
    via savannaxshea
  • 41
    כון? it's a very walkable neighborhood
    via savannaxshea
  • 42
    ICID so I figured I'd get myself ready for the day and make sure I look extra cute
    via savannaxshea
  • 43
    CID and just go on over to this neighborhood
    via savannaxshea
  • 44
    CID grab a coffee at the coffee shop
    via savannaxshea
  • 45
    walk around a little bit
    via savannaxshea
  • 46
    ICIP maybe I'll even take my dog with me
    via savannaxshea
  • 47
    CIP and he'll have his dogs out on a walk
    via savannaxshea
  • 48
    and we'll get to run into each other
    via savannaxshea
  • 49
    he might even think it's fate
    via savannaxshea
  • 50
    CIO I'm really excited wish me luck
    via savannaxshea
  • 51
    So I have the update everyone is waiting for
    via savannaxshea
  • 52
    I went to the neighborhood Yesterday
    via savannaxshea
  • 53
    that I found from this fellow's Snapchat story
    via savannaxshea
  • 54
    and I started to walk around a bit
    via savannaxshea
  • 55
    and I got really lucky
    via savannaxshea
  • 56
    I saw him coming out of a townhouse
    via savannaxshea
  • 57
    I waited a few moments
    via savannaxshea
  • 58
    for him to walk down the sidewalk a bit and get out of sight around the corner
    via savannaxshea
  • 59
    and I walked up to the townhouse
    via savannaxshea
  • 60
    and I walked around back and check the back door
    via savannaxshea
  • 61
    the back door was unlocked
    via savannaxshea
  • 62
    So I opened the door really slowly and peeped my head in
    via savannaxshea
  • 63
    and I didn't see anybody
    via savannaxshea
  • 64
    so I walked in
    via savannaxshea
  • 65
    it lead to the kitchen
    via savannaxshea
  • 66
    which had a bedroom right off the side of it
    via savannaxshea
  • 67
    So I walked into the bedroom and saw a picture of his mom sitting on the dresser
    via savannaxshea
  • 68
    So I knew it had to be his room
    via savannaxshea
  • 69
    so I walked through the ensuite door to his bathroom
    via savannaxshea
  • 70
    figured I'd browse around a moment
    via savannaxshea
  • 71
    um there was an open condom wrapper in the trash can
    via savannaxshea
  • 72
    so that might
    via savannaxshea
  • 73
    that might be an issue that we have to get over in the future
    via savannaxshea
  • 74
    I'll forgive him right now
    via savannaxshea
  • 75
    soll didn't get a chance to meet him yesterday like I was hoping for
    via savannaxshea
  • 76
    but I did learn a little bit about him
    via savannaxshea
  • 77
    and a few obstacles that [ might have to overcome
    via savannaxshea
  • 78
    but I'm really excited to officially meet him tomorrow
    via savannaxshea
  • 79
    I met him we got together on Saturday and had coffee
    via savannaxshea
  • 80
    we chilled for a few hours and hit it off
    via savannaxshea
  • 81
    we really had a lot in common
    via savannaxshea
  • 82
    um he said that it was funny
    via savannaxshea
  • 83
    because his mom has been trying to set him up with people a lot lately
    via savannaxshea
  • 84
    www she's tired of watching him live like a bachelor
    via savannaxshea
  • 85
    so lucky me I guess
