irc333 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I have friends on my FB of course, but sometimes I tend to look at their friends profiles. Even though I've never met these people, I have noticed they're MUTUAL friends with several of my friends. That being said, do you use this as a way to approach a woman? "Hey, I browsing my friends profiles, saw yours, and noticed you're friends with several of friends I know....how did you come to know <enter names> and then introduce yourself" Ever do that?
Cee Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 The better approach is to ask your friend about their mutual friend first. Then you can find out if they are single, living in your area, heterosexual, etc. I did that once. The friend told me the guy was great. But once I met the possible love interest, I ended up keeping it platonic. The guy was kind of crazy, but cool. So I am now friends with him IRL.
Star Gazer Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 This has happened to me, and I find it CREEPY. I've also had someone use my FB page to look for people to approach and contact them. I find that rude and creepy as well, and deleted them.
Author irc333 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 I asked one of my mutual friends about her, they said they went out to the beach together, he doesn't know her well, but he told me she seemed pretty cool.

Asking the mutual friend is better than bypassing said friend. The mutual friend can introduce the two, sort of like your wing (wo)man. This is no different than going to a party, meeting friends of friends, then splitting off.

Meh, I think even her mutual friends don't even know her that well. lol They're all probably not that close, I asked one of them about her, and he's like 'Yeah, I met her, she seems cool" but that's all he knew about her.
