Facebook is handy. You can decide before any potentially uncomfortable dates wether you are in the least compatible or not. If you’re a cynical Atheist and it’s obvious from his page that he’s a devout religious fanatic you can distance yourselves from each other from the beginning. No harm no foul.

Oh god.

Last halloween. At a popular street party in new orleans. Waiting in line at a bar. Redhead standing behind me talking with her friends in french. I spent three years in montreal and one in paris, so I strike up a conversation. She’s a french major, thinks its charming. I buy her a drink, she buys me a drink, we talk for maybe 40 minutes, then her friends want to run one way and my friends want to run another, so we do the “facebook swap”.

I friend her three days later (rule of three has migrated from callbacks to facebook) and she hits me with “I’m sorry, who are you again?”

Either she was so drunk she forgot me or I got dissed big. SIGH!

yeah its the lame way out. if you aren’t man enough to ask for the digits, then you ain’t man enough for me. Yup. there are folks w/o Facebook. My parents don’t have it. (they are in their 60s). My Fiancee doesn’t have it. My sister doesn’t have it. So there are 4 people right there!

I once met a guy at a party who friended me on Facebook. We e-mailed back and forth a couple of times, and he asked me out for coffee. We went out, it was kind of eh, and he didn’t ask for my number, so I figured he wasn’t that interested either. A couple of days later, he asked me out again on Facebook. Geez. I declined.

Hahaha! So timely as I’m going through this right now! He actually went the traditional route and asked me out. We made plans over text and we’ll have a first date tomorrow which hopefully won’t have any of the hallmarks commonly found on this site. BUT do I FB-friend him now, or wait to see how well the date goes? I think the latter, but by not doing it now it feels like I’m playing some sort of game. ARRRRGGGHHH!!!

This just happened to me. Met a guy at a party, talked all night, he said he’d find me on Facebook, gave me a hug, squeeze and cheek kiss goodnight. When I got home his friend request and note was waiting for me. I waited until the next day and sent a short note and accepted the request. Then …. nothing. It’s been three days. Um, I guess some people just like to collect FB friends. Lame.

my boyfriend + i exchanged messages via myspace because when we met we didn’t know each others full names but had myspace friends in common. the anticipation constantly checking my email via blackberry for a new message was stressful enough.

Pursuing a relationship over Facebook is lame. (Yes, I do have a Facebook.) Checking to see if they look like a creeper online is one thing, but if you like a person, it’s just kinda wussy to not give them a call and say you’d like to get coffee sometime. I don’t friend people except for my actual friends, so I probably wouldn’t friend a potential date unless I actually was their friend in meatspace. But then again, I think it’s inappropriate/lame to ask for a date via text message. And no, I’m not 100. I’m only 21.

The best part is when you start flirting with the male’s friends through fb just to annoy them because they’ve been flirting with 1000 women on their wall… The modern world, so insane!
