CadeYeager Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So this morning I was mindlessly on Facebook. My newsfeed notified me that one of my friend just became fiends with this one girl. Curiously I clicked on her name. Ironically she was totally my type, physically. I sent her a friend request and it was literally accepted within a minute. So I wanted to find out if she was single. Her "about me" required me to click the ask button for information I wanted to know like her number, email, and more importantly her RS status. I haven't done anything yet. If I clicked on it, wouldn't be obvious that I'm interested in her? Should I just message her instead? Geez I'm pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites
Kar_M Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah she'll probably have an idea you are interested - be bold though. If she doesn't accept then at least you know. Plus she accepted your request pretty quickly so that's a good sign. I'm the worst person for living in limbo and it's the worst place to be in - always better to know either way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

todreaminblue Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 what is the worst she could say...considering she accepted your friend request? I think it si definitely telling when they dont accept and you have mutual friends.... ....you have a chance so take it...good luck...if she says no just wish her well and move on.....

d0nnivain Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Why would you clicking on her about me signal that you are interested vs. just curious? I click on that section all the time & not once did I do it becaue I was romantically interested in the person. Technology is a crutch & in your case it's preventing you from standing on your own two feet. If you would like to get to know the girl better, talk to her. Link to post Share on other sites

I can view her about me page with no problem. But to see her Relationship status, there's a button that requires you to press to request that information on her part.

You know that scene in Animal House, where the president tells the kid "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son"? Trying to meet women by adding total strangers on Facebook and chatting them up by electronic message is no way to go through life, son. Link to post Share on other sites

Hold on I'm not trying to carry out a conversation with her via Facebook. I'm trying to get her number after a couple of message exchanges. If I could bump into her in person I would, but that isn't an option for I don't know her location. Trying to find that out is a bit creepy. Link to post Share on other sites
shet Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 In my world, this sort of thing is laughable, doesn't happen, couldn't happen. However I have a male friend who gets a lot of traction with Facebook trolling for women. He's shown me. He literally just goes through peoples friends lists and messages hot girls without rship statuses. I don't know what he says but he's cheated on his wife with quite a few women this way, and got a lot more nude selfies and the like besides. The hit rate isn't that high but the supply is infinite. So I say go ahead; FB only just implemented that whole "ask" thing couple weeks ago, so putting it as an option on relationship status can only be for one reason - exactly what you're doing.

iDrumKing Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Dude, just forget criticism you seem to be getting with your question. If Facebook is the only means of communication you have with her, then that's all you can work with right now. I don't know what other moves people are expecting of you. Here's my two cents. Just simply message her asking how she is doing then eventually be blunt and tell her your intentions, which I hope is to the wanting to get to know her. Get her number because I can tell you chatting constantly over FB isn't ideal. If this doesn't go well, then oh well. Nothing lost, nothing gained. Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't you have a thread about going on dates with like 10 or so women/strangers you met over Tinder? Hypocritical? Link to post Share on other sites
