aerogurl87 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I met this extremely hot guy at my job the other day when I got off work. We exchanged phone numbers and talked on the phone the other day some and he asked me to add him to facebook. I was trying to get back with my ex but he's been acting all wishy washy, so I said why wait around for something that probably won't happen? Plus this guy is cute, smart, and we actually have alot in common as I learned. And he's European!!! Woohoo!!! Ok but back to what I was saying. So I added him to facebook and he shot me a message on there this morning saying he got my friend request. So I kind of wehnt through his profile looking at what he was a fan of, favourite music, favourite movies, etc. Would it be weird if I mentioned I'd saw he liked something on his profile next time we talk? And no I'm not looking for something serious now, but he was way too cute to pass up. Although he already asked me out for next week, so we'll see how that goes.

No biggie, sounds like something I would do...maybe not with a co-worker....but I do it with women I had met at private parties and such.
Malenfant Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 the whole reason people put things up on their FB profile is to show others the kinds of things they like, pictures of them having a good time..whatever. why would it be wrong to mention that you like some of the same things as him that you only knew about from his page? if he didnt want you to see them, he wouldnt have added you, would he?

True malenfant. Well I've never really added a guy I was just interested in on facebook. Usually I only add my friends or a guy I'm dating exclusively. Thanks.

I would be rather nervous of potential love interests fishing through my pics!!! i'm sure there are some not very flattering ones in there!

OnlyJake Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 People very rarely take the time to check out someone's profile, much less actually comment on it. I was very impressed when a guy friended me, then proved he actually looked at my profile by commenting on one of my favorite books. He said that he had read it also, why had I wanted to read it, and what did I think was the point of xyz or what did I take away from it, or something like that. Then he shared his very insightful response. Nothing every came from that, for other reasons, but I was very impressed and willing to give him a chance based on that conversation.

Haha I sound like that guy. I checked out some of his old profile pictures and found most of them to be of him with his family or friends which I really liked because I really like a guy whose close to both his family and friends. Then I read his "info" page and found out his favourite movie is actually Ferris Bueller's Day Off which is a movie I really like. So I guess I was just trying to gauge whether or not our attraction could be more than skin deep.
ShamWoW Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 This thread sounds like a 10th grader wrote it. Is this really the way young women think these days? OMG he's from Europe! What does that have to do with anything, really? So, because he is from Europe, that makes him more attractive, or a better person? He like Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Really? Do you know anyone who doesn't like that movie? And I continue to realize why I am single.
Art_Critic Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 AG.. He wants to to see everything on his FB .. that is why he friended you
ShamWoW Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 A lttle more insight might be needed with this revelation If you are socializing in the same tone as you answered this thread then that might very well be a little insight as to why you are still single Sorry, bud. I don't need your shrinking. Being single is a gift, it doesn't bother me at all. Besides, I am EUROPEAN - God's gift to women.
OnlyJake Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 He like Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Really? Do you know anyone who doesn't like that movie? It's a terrible movie. I would never date someone who listed this as his "favorite" movie for all to see. Probably, he would want me to watch it with him. Ick. It's best for AE to find these things out now, before she's invested emotionally. Thank goodness for FB.
streetlamp Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I think it's creepy to only reference things you found out about someone on the internet. Stalker, much?
Art_Critic Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Sorry, bud. I don't need your shrinking. Being single is a gift, it doesn't bother me at all. Besides, I am EUROPEAN - God's gift to women. Good luck.. by the way.. I'm not your bud...
ShamWoW Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Good luck.. by the way.. I'm not your bud... You're right. I am smoking it.
ShamWoW Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) It's a terrible movie. I would never date someone who listed this as his "favorite" movie for all to see. Probably, he would want me to watch it with him. Ick. It's best for AE to find these things out now, before she's invested emotionally. Thank goodness for FB. I think you missed my point, lol. Are people really that superficial that they wouldn't date someone because of a movie they liked? Really?? We're all going to hell in a handcart, because obviously people have no idea what it takes to make a relationship or marriage work anymore. While you're at it, you might as well find someone to date EXACTLY like you, so that you can die a slow, boring death together. Yeah, I ditched my last girlfriend because she didn't like "The People vs Larry Flynt". I'M THAT GUY Sounds like some of us are stuck in high school. XOXO Edited January 15, 2010 by ShamWoW

I just thought you were rude, and that it probably shouldn't bother you if the OP has a crush on a guy and feels all mushy because he likes the same movie. I do very much agree with the bolded point. But no reason to berate the OP over it.
ShamWoW Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I do very much agree with the bolded point. But no reason to berate the OP over it. I wasn't berating OP, I was berating our society. Her attitude seems reminiscent of many young women. "OMG he is European" "OMG he is in the Military" Neither does a good man necessarily make.
lordWilhelm Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I think it's useful because it gives you an idea of what they're interested and what to bring up in conversation. But be discreet about it; I wouldn't preface a conversation with "so, I saw on Facebook that..." -- that does sound a bit stalkerish.

And no everyone does not like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. My best friend thinks it's up there with the Notebook in being one of the movies she hates most. And I think you may be single because of your attitude. You come off a little bitter and negative. Is it wrong to be excited over meeting someone new? No, and if I dated someone and they weren't excited over meeting me, then I'd see no point in dating them. But that's just me.

I think my concern may come from the fact that I had a friend date this guy a year ago and he turned out to be what I call a "facebook stalker". He commented on every post she wrote, all her statuses, almost every new picture she'd put it. It was very weird. So I don't want to seem like I'm even venturing into that type of crazy territory. Although I just glanced through his stuff to get a better idea about who he was.
harmfulsweetz Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Oh I do that. If I like a guy, and he's on my FB list, he's getting snooped on not in the 'what the hell is he up to' way, just hm, aww look at the pic, he's joined that group, he likes that band that I like. If he didn't want people to know, he wouldn't put it up. It's not stalking, it's research Nothing wrong with it IME, plus, FB doesn't allow people to find out who has looked at their profile. One of my fave features
gsly Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 honestly i think that if a girl looked at my facebook profile and brought it up on a date i'd be what's the word im looking for happy..that way they know a little bit about me before we go on the date..
