Good times on FB

(That is, unless the guy turns out to be a stalker…)

A random guy just added me on FB. I added him back only because I couldn’t see his friends list and wanted to see if we had mutual friends and to ascertain whether I had in fact met him. I only did this after checking his photos to ensure that he was a real person (as opposed to a hacker) and whether he had real wallposts and comments. He had photos dating back to 2009, so things seemed legit.

Unfortunately, turns out I had been lured by some creepy Asian boy from Sydney. Possibly fourteen and prepubescent (at a guess. Not really ). He instantly wall posted me.

Random guy: hey r u who i think u r ?

I PM’ed him in reply: Hi, I don’t think so…considering I was going to ask you – do I know you?! Haha!! Do we have mutual friends?!

Random guy PMs me back: not sure,,,,,,,,,im michael wats ur name.

i mean wat u do n where uy from?

i like the “A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man must seek God to find her…” lol kinder make u hard to get huh… lol

Apart from the horrendous grammar (even if he is fourteen and prepubescent ) and the fact that he cannot solve the world’s easiest mystery (my name? Did you just not add me because of my name?!), you can imagine that I was rather put off by the sudden downward turn of the conversation. DEFRIEND! Shortest friend I will ever have .

Have you ever had any strange FB experiences? People do love their social media! I’ve been asked out on FB twice. I did not see those requests coming, and needless to say, I declined on both counts! (Not that I deterred the asker, now that I think about it. Both managed to acquire long-term girlfriends within weeks after our conversations! Interesting!)

I have to say, the only qualm I have with the whole incident is that I may have leaked my blog URL – if indeed the guy decided to explore my ‘info’ page, then he may currently be viewing this page, which may further create increased awkwardness (not like it was awkward before at all, right?!) In which case, Welcome….to…my…blog…Feel flattered to be the subject of my blog post, not many people get the chance . Fortunately, Feedjit says that no one has perused my blog in the last hour, and my dear friend AP reminds me that it takes a lot of effort and $$ to get rid of one’s IP address. Finally I can sleep safely at night again!
