<p>We're ridiculously compatible, so it isnt an issue :)</p>
<p>I don't think I would hook up with anyone I met on facebook (how do you know they aren't 100x sketchier in person??) but it's definitely useful for looking up info on guys I meet in other places (ie, ascertain if they're single, what they are interested in, etc.).</p>
<p>Well obviously I'm going to meet her soon. If she's sketchier, she's sketchier. I dont understand the problem you see AU.</p>
<p>I'm in a strange online situation with meeting a girl. It involves CC and facebook. I'll see where it goes, but I have 0 expectations unlike loslobos. Right now I'm more interested in making friends in college before jumping into a relationship.</p>
<p>Seeing my newsfeeds every day, it seems like one Asian guy in my entering class is trying to facebook flirt with every other asian girl on facebook. That's just bordering creepy in my book.</p>
<p>Well, with girls it's different (less likely to be a total creep than a dude). I was saying as a girl, I wouldn't try to hook up with a random dude I met on facebook because of the possible sketch factor. Girls are in general much less sketchy than guys.</p>
<p>Usually. But I'm saying she's obviously going to meet me. I'm not gonna just hook up with her right away (at least I dont think so...)</p>

<p>Just be sure to avoid my ex--who's goin to Penn ;)</p>
<p>Care to share her name loslobos so I can tell her "no i will not go out with you you hurt this guy i know from an online forum" :)</p>
<p>PMed you Ven.</p>
<p>my friend sent me an article a while back about this guy who randomly poked a girl he didn't know at his college. they exchanged a few messages and then finally hooked up. i dont remember if it was a joke or not, but is someone here actually hoping that something like that occurs?</p>
<p>Hmm... I don't know... I'm personally not a fan of meeting people online. It seems pretty difficult to get to know someone and determine whether or not their "datable" over the internet, but that's just me.</p>
<p>Besides, there's lots of other places to meet people... school, extracurriculars, clubs, bars, dorms, cafeterias, sports, even model un :D...</p>
<p>actually i know one story where somethign liek this did happen. </p>
<p>one of my good guy friends is one of those rediculous guys who has a myspace and friends 297438974 girls. turns out one of these girls was from a town real close by so they decided to hang out one day. then her and her friend came to one of my friends houses for a party.. about four months later we still hung out with them at least once a week and the girls friend started dating another one of my good guy friends. that was in feb and theyre still dating now. yeah.. myspace is 1000x worse than facebook and i dont have one but this situation acutally worked out and the girls are acutally real sweet and fun to hang out with</p>
<p>Honestly, I don't think there's anything wrong with meeting people on the internet, but I don't think you can really determine compatibility and chemistry online either. I tend to side with a friend of mine who says that the internet is for finding out if someone's mildly interesting and doesn't need to wear a bag on their head. Beyond that, you really need to meet to find out if there's anything there--I've known too many people I couldn't communicate well with online who were wonderful in person (and vice versa) to trust an internet perception.</p>
<p>Once you're building up all sorts of expectations based on someone's internet persona (even facebook, which is probably the most realistic online portrayal of any of the social networks), I think you open yourself up for some serious disappointment.</p>
<p>meeting people on line is for losers.</p>
<p>I need to make a facebook.</p>
<p>AND MY 1000TH POST!</p>
<p>I don't have a facebook....what is "poking"?</p>
<p>Well, I'm a freshman starting school in about a month and Facebook has definitely turned out to be an icebreaker on more than one occasion already. When I went to register for classes, there were a few girls who I probably would have walked right past if I hadn't recognized them from the Class of 2011 group on Facebook. Not to mention the guy I met, lol. We met originally on Facebook, but then we also met in person at registration when we recognized each other. He's totally wonderful, so I'm hoping that it goes somewhere when school starts this fall! ;)</p>
