      Do not, I repeat do not, keep a spread sheet[^] of all your dates. If you should, do not send it to one of your dates.

                Seems like a reasonable way of keeping track if you're dating lots of women and are a complete twat.

                      I feel really sorry for the guy, liked a girl, trusted her and then... The article is quite exagerated, says is a "detailed" and "creepy" spreadsheet... you gotta be kidding so detailed and crepy means he has a photo, username, thoughts of the date, number of times they messaged and the contact info. Sorry but that doesnt look to me crepy nor detailed, and yes if i had to look for dates on internet i think i would create a spreadsheet.

                          There's nothing wrong with this at all. With all the crap you have to remember these days it's no wonder people resort to what in ancient times would have been called "writing stuff down".. I mean half the people on here probably have no issues with running their social lives through facebook or some other social media rubbish - what's the difference? He even kept a note of the one who stood him up and gave him a clearly bollocks excuse, 3 days later. Now he can give her the spreadsheet wrapped in half a ton of early 90s laptop round the back of the head for being a lying bitch.

                              It took me all of 30 seconds, including typing time, since I saw it. Some of us have lives and are not glued to their computers. Some of us have been sitting on the sofa eating crisps and drinking coffee, some of us have.

                                        I feel really sorry for the guy, liked a girl, trusted her and then... The article is quite exagerated, says is a "detailed" and "creepy" spreadsheet... you gotta be kidding so detailed and crepy means he has a photo, username, thoughts of the date, number of times they messaged and the contact info. Sorry but that doesnt look to me crepy nor detailed, and yes if i had to look for dates on internet i think i would create a spreadsheet.

                                        I agree. With all the hype I was expecting the spreadsheet to contain crazy personal information of the women or something more stalker like. I was expecting dolls-made-of-human-hair level creepy...but this just made me think OCD.

                                          If you want to get into shades of gray.. You can trust people* insofar that they'll do what they think is best for them. That's more subtle than it may seem, for example people with morals will evaluate morally good behaviour as "good for them". So the better you know someone, the better you can trust them, because you have more accurate knowledge of their "good for them" evaluation logic. That about sums up all the shades of gray there are (and that you can create - with a little effort you might align what they think is best for them with what you want them to do). * does not apply to those with InsaneTrollLogic.
