We seemed to have completely ignored "burlesque bar"

[Alison]

You mean that she was a tad undressed in a burlesque bar - makes far more sense now.

All in front of Nick Rhodes!!!*gush/faint!!

I have no friends in common with any of u....... yet!!! as had no requests from any grapes, i'm to shy to ask people to be my friend....... sob sob....... lol

I can't find you!!!Have you introduced yourself on the "Who am I"...or is Veggielover your real name?...I fear rejection too,so I'll only ask if you promise to say yes!!!

[Farmer_Gyles]

...a couple of witches added me as friends - I thought one day I'd maybe ask to photo them so I added them.

...

one is in NYC and when we were waiting for a bus out of East Village whilst we were over there - they walked past me ....

so .... a facebook "friend" walks right past you and you don't say hi? and you have to wait until you get home on the other side of the world to contact them via computer?

to me, that just isn't "friends" .... without being rude, it comes across as some kind of lack of social skills thing? could that be why people collect "friends" on facebook but never speak in real life?

if i see someone i recognise, i'll say something .... especially if they were on the other side of the world ..... having said that, i've walked right past long-term real life friends in the street because i'm often daydreaming or whatever ..... but i would never ignore someone until i got home to my computer ....

Also guilty of that one FG, tend to be in a world of my own when out on my own..

[veggielover]

LOL - it was when we got back to the apartment about 2 hours later but as I said - I was a tad underdressed for an initial intro.

Me: jeans, t-shirt and cheap sunglasses and ultra hot, sweaty and knackered [it was 94 degress that day and we had been walking for hours]

Him: Full Joan Collins in uber-glam mode, no doubt smelling fresh as a daisy, straight out of the shower and looking a billion dollars

Me: With OH who raised eyebrows without even knowing that I was a facebook 'friend'

Him: on phone dahling

If we had been in the bar, and I was dressed for the occasion I would definitely made an intro - but sometimes you got to know when to walk on.

ETA: Just reread the social skills line - ROFL

Whoops! Didn't realise that! Think i have changed it now

[jackie j]

If I get a friends request I also look to see who the mutual friends are before deciding to accept or not. If I am asking them to be my friend I tell them who I am ie. ( hi its jackie j from the vine here ) or however I know them, family, friend, work, school.

[jackie j]

I would go on facebook too if I only knew how. I think it is a wonderful way to keep in touch if daily, monthly or only yearly.

Polly I will come round and show you if you want me to anytime suits me.

[MrsC]

but it's them adding me, not me adding them .......
if i meet someone and want to be friends with them, then of course i make the effort and keep in touch etc ....... but it's totally different (normally) when someone adds me on facebook because that's all they do .......

Hi FG

You invited people to add you if you check your reply to my thread on it a while back:

"i'm on facebook - sort of - i'm a single parent so no OH to chat to, work from home and kinda trapped at home when the kids are in bed - facebook relieves a bit of boredom sometimes - would much rather have a "normal" life with an OH and the ability to get out more with real life friends .....
if anyone wants to check out my facebook thing and add me as a friend, PM me"

yes, you say 'real life friends' but you gave the invite. Not being funny but if you offer an invite to people to add you in this 'non real life friends' facebook life (as you say) why then ask why they added you in the first place? Not being funny or anything

[squashysu]

The bit you quote asks anyone who wants to be a friend to PM, not just click the 'add a friend' box! My impression (as one who likes to make friends AFTER conversing on a message forum) is that there is a bit of 'cross purposes' going on here.
