There's no guarantee that she will even have logged on to linkedin anyway.

I have an account but haven't checked it in a long long time.

Just dump the linkedin profile here.
We all will visit her page and that way we will push your "view" out of the last 1 million visits she had on her profile

Or go with Almighty's advise. That might be a safer solution.

As said above, it only leaves tracks if you log into your own account. Otherwise you can see info without any traces, most don't have their privacy settings configured to stop this from happening

Most people will have email notifications on their smartphones. LinkedIn will send an email as soon as he visited her profile.

I may be a bit old for this, but surely if someone is being asked out they will sort of automatically assume they've been stalked online already.

I know in my day we had to depend on what was written on the lavatory wall.

Tell her you wanted to 'network'.

Network and chill, as the kids say.

I don't know whether I have much to say to her, so today I googled her forename & her workplace, just to see if we had might have common interests; we both work in the same area.

Just avoid any of the topics you typically post on here and you'll be fine for conversation.

How can I reassure this girl I am not Larry Murphy? She will see my grisly pawprints all over her page, inexplicably, and forever refuse to accompany me anywhere not serviced by public lighting

As the old saying goes; you can't make someone love you, but you can stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I havent been in the world of courting for a while now, but I thought it's common enough to do your research before a first date.

Just don't get too specific like 'remember on 12th Dec 2011 when you said you liked having your Christmas shopping wrapped up, I thought that was hilarious.'

Linkedin only leaves tracks if you were logged in at the time. Even then it's not likely she will check or even care if she see you checking her profile.

Just act like a normal person and you should be ok.

Yeah, if you can just fake being a normal person, you'll be fine

sheesh · 06-10-2015 12:52PM

yeah this happened to a friend of mine the guy told her about it at the date and laughed it off saying at least she was showing some interest. Don't mention it unless they do.

LinkedIn is designed for networking in a professional sense. If she asks or it is ever brought up, just say that you were looking into extending your professional network and you felt she might have some good connections.

But since this is also AH .. <mod snip>it is AH, but there is a line</mod snip>

A very important point, has she looked at your LinkedIn profile, think of it this way you are going on a date and are keen enough to look her up, however is she keen enough to look you up before the date could tell you a lot about how interested she is in you.

But the LinkedIn profile will only really give you a sense of them from a professional viewpoint, so is that really a good indicator?

Tell her that you were advertising the job of being your girlfriend and her profile seemed a good fit.

And you're a good person to work under.

Ha. I was so confused for a second and I thought, "but I can't remember typing anything about there being a line..."

Agreed, OP look at Bebo too.

In all seriousness, if she asks you just say you were on LinkedIn and her name popped up in the "people you may know" section, and you clicked on it out of curiosity.

You've asked her for a drink, she knows you're interested in getting into her pants, so it's not weird.

Ignore this OP. Go with the murder plan posted earlier.

The article doesn't reveal whether or not he managed to get to the computers before he made his escape. The suspense! OP come back...
