<p>do you add someone as your friend on facebook if you have just seen and talkd to him/her once very briefly. this question only concerns opposite sex.</p>
<p>Why not? d dddddd</p>
<p>I don't usually add people under those circumstances but always accept their friend requests if they add me. </p>
<p>The only times I ever really add someone after meeting them once is if we really hit it off...otherwise I'll just add them after we've talked a few more times.</p>
<p>My rule, for both guys and girls, is that you have to talk enough times so that they can remember your name and will say hi to you on campus. Otherwise, you end up in an awkward situation where you have to keep reintroducing yourself even though you're both Facebook friends. It just sucks when you're friends with around 300 people from your school but you're only comfortable talking to only about a third of them. </p>
<p>My only exception is when I meet awesome upperclassmen that I don't think I will encounter many times again. Then I just whore myself out.</p>
<p>i am wondering that sometimes too,are people who have 300 + friends, especially from one big unversity, really friends with that many people? Or are they just so popular that people want to add them or they are just facebook addicts who constantly look for familiar faces to expand on their friend lists?</p>
<p>people do that to boost their false image of self importance</p>
<p>people who ive met once add me all that time
(usually girls, because they just love image and attention... either that, or im just too hot) rofl</p>
<p>Nope, I only add people who I actually know (not people who I have met once). I have 100 something friends (in the 120's?). Facebook was not around when I was in high school so I don't have tons of friends (I've seen people who basically add everyone from their high school).</p>
<p>I have rejected people who requested to be my friend because I didn't recognize them. This is not myspace, I dont want random people adding me.</p>
<p>The big thing for us prefrosh is to add people from our facebook groups. From the Penn Class of 2011 group, I must have added close to 50 people, some I requested, others (most) requested me. It's a nice way to chat with people before getting on campus. For my high school, when I first got facebook, I added everyone who knew my name, but now I've slowed down and a few people will add me from time to time.</p>
<p>I only add real friends. :p</p>
<p>Thus I have around 40.</p>
<p>^^Same, I only have around 100 or so on my list (from my uni), but the rest are people from high school. I'm going to cut down my list to about 30 though, lol. I don't really put myself out there. My privacy options are set so that no one can find me in searches.</p>

That's actually not a bad idea. You could always remove the people you don't end up meeting from your friends list later on.</p>
<p>I have quite a few friends from class of 2011 groups. especially going to a small college, it's likely I'll end up meeting a lot of them next year.
usually I talk to people several times before adding them on facebook, unless we talked quite a bit and planned to talk more or something.
I will admit to having a few facebook friends from CC too...</p>
<p>I usually will only add people once we've either hit it off, met up a number of times, and/or are involved in something together, although I very rarely turn down a friend request (usually I just don't accept it it until I know the person a little better--especially if I don't recognize them!). Despite this, though, I have almost 400 friends from my school (560 total) and I know all of them -- not to say we currently hang out on a regular basis, of course, but most of them I know from a variety of things I've been involved in (many are from working in orientation, TAing or other leadership stuff I've done).
My school is super community-oriented, though, so knowing several hundred people isn't really that uncommon and most people here have core groups of friends that are probably 5-20 people in size...lots of extroverts here!</p>
<p>It depends from person to person. There's no "rule" for how good friends you have to be with someone to add him/her on facebook. Do what you feel like.</p>
<p>I added:
My HS friends
Some elementry school friends
My sorority sisters
My fellow Circle K'ers (school and district level)
Some of my classmates</p>

No. </p>
<p>I add:
- Most people who add me unless I have no clue who they are
- People from my High School/Middle School/Elementary School
- People who I have met from clubs/organizations/teams (even if I have spoken to them only briefly)
- People who I have not met from clubs/organizations/teams (knowing fully well that I will meet them eventually)
--- People from c/o/t who add me - establishing some sort of networking
--- I have used Facebook to send messages to people at the head of c/o/t when I have questions/whatever... so this works out
- People who will benefit me (and vice versa) evenly -- mostly IRT networking or finding out about events, whatever...
- People I meet through others even if we have only been introduced v. briefly... usually found by looking at a mutual friend's wall posts</p>
<p>It's not the best idea to add everyone in your Class of 20__ group. You don't want to be that-guy-who-friended-half-of-the-freshman-class... in moderation folks!</p>
<p>Can you un-friend people? B/c I friended like 80 people from the Rochester group since I was ED and we all were kinda psyched at that point. When I actually go there, however, I think it would be strange to keep around all these random people that I may never talk to.</p>
<p>Do people get offended if you un-friend them?</p>
<p>And do they know when you un-friend them?</p>
<p>And how long should I wait after going to Rochester to see if I get to know these people in real life before possibly deleting them?</p>
<p>In response to the OP, if you feel comfortable posting on their wall you are fine to ask them, if not then talk to them a few more times to not look like a creeper.</p>
<p>but you guys are making waaayyy to big of a fuss about it. Who cares how many friends someone has on it and who cares how many you do? It does not matter one bit so why take the time to unfriend someone? although like Emmeline said.. dont go overboard and look weird or be the person everyone is like "who is this weirdo"?</p>
<p>not friendster...</p>
<p>more like aquintanster...</p>
