Is it normal to social media stock your crush?

So I am totally in love with this dude... Yes he knows I exist because he's said my name, but we've never had a conversation. Ever.
I am too scared to ask for his number which is stupid because I have a whole bunch of random people that I barely know's phone numbers. I made a fake Instagram account so that I can see his (his is private) and I've even looked at all the girls' accounts that he's interacted with.
I know I'm not truly crazy nor am I some kind of stalker, but at the same time, it just feels wrong. Is this normal?

    As long as you're not doing it all the time, I guess it's normal to check a crush's profile. But the "fake account" sounds troubling. You don't wanna go down that road.
    Just talk to him.

    Just a normal girl with time and an internet connection. Be charming, be nice and try getting into his group of friends naturally (via shared interests). Ultimately it's his choice to pursue you.

    Yes, these things happen when you like someone
    my opinion take things slow cause he could be
    anyone but you need to tell him your number
    but be sure this guys not some crazy person
    cause it can go that way too.

      I know him in real life and he isn't crazy, I'm just too shy to talk to him. I've subtly tried to ask for his number, but he gave me a fake one. I don't even know if it was a joke or if he really doesn't like me.

    Normal, bad habbit. Learn more about him by talking to him yourself, in person.

    I don't call checking or following someone's facebook or insta as stalking. I feel there needs to be another word created for online stalking. Because is there anyone who's had those accounts and yet has never "secretly or habitually followed/viewed" another? Come on now, anyone with half a brain knows those apps/sites are specifically designed for that sort of activity. Facebook was originally made so you could stalk your classmates or see which class other people are in, more so than keeping in touch with friends.

    Anyway, semantics aside, I've done it several times for all sorts of reasons myself. Few rare times the stalking has turned into a mini obsession but I don't make a fuss of it because I'm always in control of myself and grounded even when smitten over someone. The fact you say you are "in love" with someone you have never even talked to was slightly worrying. But then your last statement is reassuring. See riffraffy's comment. Great level-headed stuff right there
