Answer 7

If you do it once, it's just "checking out". If you were paid to do it, it's called "character investigation". If it's to help you analyze his character, just one time, then say it's "research". However, if you do it in all social sites habitually day in and day out, trying to learn everything about him through the internet without really speaking to him face-to-face then that's stalking!

No is the short answer if that is all you do.
