Have you ever googled someone out of curiosity? Of course you have (this is 2014).

And while it’s okay (sometimes), there does reach a point where an innocent search on Google can turn into a full out stalk-fest that you certainly never intended – or did, in which case you should step away from the computer. Right now.

But from here on out – if you ever find yourself in a situation where you aren’t sure if googling an ex is okay or kind of psycho, we’ve got you covered. Below is a flowchart mapping out all of the dos and don’ts of searching for someone online.

The flow chart was created by writer Caroline Paul and illustrator Wendy MacNaughton. No longer will you have to wonder “Should I google this person?” because from here out, you’ll have an answer.
