Scotty Riggs Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I had an awesome first date Monday with an amazing girl. At the end of it she mentioned how her Facebook is restricted and impossible to find but mentioned something about how she'd show me something "when I Friend you." Out of boredom, I found her Facebook on my own and accidentally hit Send Friend Request. Now I feel funny about it. Should I just ignore that it happened and hope that she accepts? We plan on seeing each other again but can't for another two weeks when she returns from a vacation. She won't bring her laptop but told me to text her during the vacation.
The Way I Am Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I think you shouldn't mention it. If she mentions it, don't act embarrassed about it. Don't say what you said here about finding it out of boredom. That makes you seem kind of lame. Also, don't say anything like "Don't worry. I'm not a stalker". People say that to make themselves seem less creepy, but in my experience, it just makes seem creepier. If she brings it up, play it off like you almost forgot you did it, because it was just an afterthought among the many things you've been doing since you last spoke to her. Then tell her that when she said her FB was impossible to find, you took it as a challenge, and you never lose a challenge. 1
Author Scotty Riggs Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah, a lot of people are saying it really isn't a big deal, that a lot of people don't take Facebook too seriously. We plan on seeing each other when she gets back and she did say she'd Friend me anyway. I just can't help but worry that it's going to confuse her perception of me and mess things up. She's cool as hell and I really look forward to seeing her again. This is like something out of Seinfeld.
The Way I Am Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The more you worry about how it'll affect her perception of you, the more it will.
Author Scotty Riggs Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 She accepted and immediately posted on my wall. So it's all good! 2
The Way I Am Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Awesome! See nothing to worry about. For anybody else happening upon this thread in a similar dilema, don't cancel a request. If they've already seen it or gotten an email about it, it'll just look like you chickened out after sending.
Casablanca Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Never once have I accidentally friended someone...also does it pop up a confirm you want to send the request? Glad it worked out though
darkmoon Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 i'd want a fb friend if i was hooking up, boyfs should be friends, i see a nice gesture
The Way I Am Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Nope. Just tried it. No confirmation after you click the button. I've never accidentally sent a friend request either, but I did accidentally like a photo when I was using the mobile app. I *did* really like the pic and probably looked at it way more times than is normal, but I'd never intentionally like an old pic of a cute guy I just met. That was a much worse faux pas considering I had to look through his photos to get to that pic to like it. I was mortified for a second when I saw that in my activity but played it cool and also made sure I liked a decent amount of other people's stuff too.
oaks Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I had an awesome first date Monday with an amazing girl. At the end of it she mentioned how her Facebook is restricted and impossible to find but Make sure you tell her that she clearly needs to check what "impossible" means, because you found her.
