Joanna Pearson recounts in the New York Times how her Googlosity killed any chances of ever getting a second date with a guy who could’ve been the man of her dreams. She met this guy in a bar, and, in addition to drinking socially, they found out that they had other things in common, too. Both went to college and both enjoyed running.

Then Joanna went home and Google-searched him. She was horrified to discover this guy’s record-setting mile time, then - defying every rational instinct - dug further to discover where he went to college and business school, what his GPA was, and even what his sister’s name was.

Then, on their pivotal first official date, Joanne confused the information that he told her with the info that she already knew. So, with one slip, she went from being a promising date to a creepy Google stalker.

Way to go, Joanna.

The moral of the story: Google + Curious Single Woman = Spinster.
