I liked your article, but I do have some things to say:
first of all, it is unavoidable to get an FB account, since most of your friends do, and as crazy as it may sound, you get to know about them through these sites more than you do when you call them.
However, if you know that these Social Networks can go against you, as with this woman that was kind of a stalker, then you should try to keep the information to yourself, rather than uploading it on every single site that’s “in” at the moment.

well, look at it this way, without facebook it could have taken months or years for you to realize that she is a crazy, obsessive, passive aggressive weirdo.

I’ve recently re-entered the world of singledom, and I found it mind-boggling too. I gave out my personal e-mail address to a guy I’d met. That led to him being able to use the URL to get my home address and find me on facebook. Scary. I am now much wiser and give out a throw away e-mail address and pay as you go phone number to potential dates. Times have changed!

Bottom line is that if you’re not happy with all that facebook, myspace, twitter crap then stay away from dating people who are. That said, I’m happily married and have been for many (15?) years.

I feel your pain. You’ll get your sea legs back into the dating game quicker than you think I’m sure.

(It seems like this girl was messed up a bit though… Just saying so.)

It probably seemed safer, given the internet, to give you her email address. You can do all sorts of things with a phone number, now. You can pinpoint a home address and get a satellite image of it, for example just by typing the number into a box on your web browser’s navigation bar, for example. Granted that most people attach all of that too-personal information to their email address somewhere online anyway.

@ REL
Thanks for the heads up

I agree when people say “If you don’t want people to see your stuff online then don’t put your stuff online.” I also mentioned in the article that I was in a relationship for the last few years, and am therefore new to this “new world of dating.” I am doing my best to “get with the times,” and as my first step forward, I will only date robots and toasters.
