Creepy Facebook Add

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>So I'd like to make friends with people my own age at university (I'm up a year + late birthday). I met a group of pretty cool people at this training they had for orientation leaders, couple + friend. So i met them twice, about 6 hours long each time. I foolishly forgot to ask if they had facebook or if they wanted to hang out. We got along well enough, and facebook is the only way I can ask about hanging out before the school year starts. Is it creepy to add them after only meeting them twice at an orientation training? Also, we don't have any mutual friends, except for the gf I have a mutual friend with her, but if I only add her, I may end up looking kind of pervy, ya know?</p>

<p>I know I overthink things like this, but can't help it. Anyway, some personal opinions would be cool. Thanks</p>

<p>No its not weird. You are overthinking it waay too much man.</p>

<p>I think you are overthinking it. Just go ahead and add them. Its not a contract or anything.</p>

<p>You're trying to make friends at a new place; it's COMPLETELY acceptable to add those people!</p>

<p>It's just facebook, don't worry about it.</p>

<p>for a guy, you seem to be overthinking things.</p>

<p>People going to my college who I haven't even met added me on Facebook, because we're both in the Honors program or we're both non-partiers...and I don't even blink at that. You're definitely overthinking it- just add them.</p>

<p>If you know their name, it's ok. It's not like you were stalking them....and it's not like this is a serious, life changing decision.</p>

<p>You must be new to facebook.
This is what people DO with facebook.
Add away.
If they don't want more friends, they will ignore your friend request.
No problem!</p>

<p>i was bored one day and added half my freshman class on fb (small school lol), and I haven't even started school yet, so I've never seen most of the ppl I'm now friends with. But it's a good link to have with people, since it's the way most of us communicate nowdays. Most people just hit 'accept' and don't think about it :)</p>

<p>Thats not creepy if you've met the person. What is creepy is when someone adds you that you've never ever met, doesn't go to your school, or live in the same country. This seems to happen to me a LOT. Like twice a week I get a random friend request from a creepy looking guy, and sometimes there's even a message saying how good I look in my picture. Those get rejected immediately. </p>

<p>A lot of pre-frosh add each other before school starts, even if they've never met. That happened last summer before I started. I had like 300 friends at my school before I even got there. About 100 of them I had met at orientation, but people just randomly added me w/o ever meeting. I accepted those, but then a month into fall semester I went and removed everyone I hadn't met or wasn't friends with.</p>

<p>def not weird</p>

<p>Everyone does it. Sure, it's awkward but that's how it goes. Just remove them if you're not talking to them or they seem just way too creepy. (Or put your profile on severely limited.)</p>
