Do you do OSINT¹ before going on a date with / meeting someone in person?

¹ Open-source intelligence (e.g. web searches, background checks, social media tracking, etc)

² I've opted to split this into masc/femme-presenting categories; please pick whichever you think is closer to your typical presentation.

³ If this poll doesn't resonate with you, don't worry, there'll be others.

	I'm masc-presenting; No
	I'm masc-presenting; Yes, some
	I'm masc-presenting; Yes, a lot
	I'm femme-presenting; No
	I'm femme-presenting; Yes, some
	I'm femme-presenting; Yes, a lot

Poll ends at Mar 27 at 8:55pm.

@alice It doesn't resonate with me, or does it? Here is the thing, I don't date unless I have known the person for a while, usually friends already. So, no web searches, etc. But it also means I have been "observing" the person for a long time and I guess that is OSINT too. I guess getting to know someone is OSINT, just analog.
