I've been dating this guy for 6 months. We are exclusive, he has met some of my friends and I've met some of his. Neither of us have met family. We are both in late 20s.

 

We go on dates 2x a week, have sleepovers, intimate, have a toothbrush at each others place. We have holiday/ticketed events coming up that we are going to together. We do a lot of couple based things.

 

I know FB is considered "lame" perhaps. But I DO I want to be FB friends with him. I'm not going to go crazy and tag a bunch of pics or anything or flood his wall with comments. I'm just curious to see more of his life/pics on it, just want a look basically.

 

I found his FB and he spells his last name incorrectly for whatever reason. He had me follow him on a music app (which was connected through FB) so that's how I know his FB name/incorrect spelling. He even told me the music app was connected through FB. We also met on Tinder, so he obviously has to have a FB.

 

I didn't realize until recently, that I had extreme privacy on my FB and only "friends of friends" could add me. I recently opened up "everyone" can send me friend requests.

 

My question is, should I friend him on FB?

 

It would just be a little awkward if he didn't accept me, or if I had to ask him to accept me which is what I'm nervous about. ( He has a bunch of ex pics and dated for about 4 years). I also hope he remembers I found his FB through the music app he shared with me since he spells his name wrong on purpose.

He's your boyfriend - friend him. If he doesn't accept then get rid of him. Seriously. If he doesn't accept then he is hiding things from you.

Did you ask him why he spells his name wrong purposefully?

 

I think FB has this recognition software where they check your identity somehow and your name has to match someone in cyberspace or you risk your account being deactivated. I guess it cuts down on spam/scammers. I'm surprised his account didn't get deactivated.

 

Anyway...I'm old school re: FB. I only have people who I've known for at least 3 years or are relatives. I'm not into the whole friending/unfriending thing. Maybe he feels the same way. Ask him his FB philosophy. You'll then know your answer to the question of "should I friend him."

 

How were you able to see the pix of his ex gf?
