In another of AOL's disturbing featured articles - another recent one was how to take simple things like he's had a hair cut as signs of cheating - AOL brings us how to stalk the guy or gal of your dreams.

Mr Right

Both pretty much follow the same pattern: how to systematically spy on someone in order to "learn" about them, so you know what you're getting into.

Examples? Her: If she has flowers on the table, she's looking for a serious commitment from you, man. Make sure you snoop in her bedroom so you can see if there are any guy's clothes in there. You never know if she's sleeping with someone else! They seem to imply too that flower gardens are an indicator that she's easy. No, I don't get the connection either.

Him: Take a look in his medicine cabinent to check for scrips for herpes. And, apparently the fact that he owns a small dog, or god forbid a cat, means that he's a closet case. Nice. Even though they give you nine or ten places to "investigate" they do tell you not to look in his night stand. That's private. Unlike his medicine cabinet and other places you should have been raised better to look in without an invitation. 

I think this is advice to live by. Especially if you want to destroy a relationship on your first visit to their home. Honestly, instead of calling itself "Love on AOL" they should just call a spade a spade: "Really shity advice on AOL that'll make you paranoid and creep him/her the hell out." I know it'd be a longer title, but it's worth it.
