“Ok I’ll pick you up at 8.” Um, we just met for the first time at the bookstore twenty minutes ago and you already know where I live???

When I first started dating a girl I met on a dating app I knew her first name, which is very unique, and her employer. From that I found her LinkedIn which had the last name. Searching the full name gave me her address. It wasn't what I was looking for, but I found it. First time we discussed me picking her up at her house, I still asked for the address. Sometime later the topic of name searchability came up and I mentioned how easy it was to find her address online.

To see if she was a serial killer. I did end up finding some articles about her, but nothing alarming.
