(disclaimer: I have two ex- and one current boyfriend listed as friends on facebook.)

gwnc had some theory as to why not to friend.

I have not added my boyfriend as a friend on the advice of Diane Keaton. So far, it is working out well!

Sheesh. A couple of minutes yes, the first time, but my refractory period was commendable, no?

Never. Make him friend you.

ETA: To clarify, don't request him as a friend; make him request it from you.

And then wait a week to respond.

AETA: I've been on facebook for almost two weeks. I know what I'm talking about.

There must be some mistake, unless my friend request is lost in the mail.

Isn't that right after you meet someone?

ETA: STP, yes, but Penske underestimates flower.

Oops. I suppose it's good that we email mp3s like normal people, so I have not technically missed my window of opportunity.

First meeting, first date, semantics in my world.

Never. Too many opportunities for misunderstandings/paranoia. Someone leaves a comment on his/her wall and it seems flirty and then the other person is seeing it and wondering, is this a relative being cute or someone who has a crush on my man/lady friend? Even if you don't think you're the jealous type, you might have your moments. Or the person you're dating might have moments like those. Especially while dating, you want him/her to only hear what YOU want him/her to hear from you directly because there could be other misunderstandings as well. I see no benefit. Same goes for having work colleagues on there. Just say no. I do love the Book, though and have friends from all walks of life there.
