Return of Fish Boy
05.24.07 (8:53 am)   [edit]

I hate those mass additions that people do on Facebook. I have gotten friend requests from people I don't remember or don't speak to.

I got one of those from Fish Boy. We went out one time over a year ago and never spoke again after that. There was one email exchange. 

You can list friend details on Facebook. This is where you can say how you met. I love those details! For him, I said we dated only once and no longer speak. I guess he thought that was a little harsh because he only confirmed the dating once thing, and he sent me a message to ask me how I was doing.

If I am not interested in a guy, I don't want to be friends after we date. Anyway, our date was okay...nothing earth shattering, but I would have been okay going out with him again. (He also creeped me out even before we had our first date because he was telling me was smitten, etc. and we hardly knew each other.) 

After the date, I sent him an email and thanked him for the lovely afternoon and suggested getting together again. It took him a while to reply and he said he was debating about whether to see me again, and finally decided no (something about deciding that I wasn't what he was looking for long-term). And he added the bit about being friends. That is something I'd never suggest, and against my better judgment, I was like "okay." 

Needless to say, we never became friends and never spoke.

And to get a message from him just pisses me off. Insincere people piss me off. I have no interest in reconnecting -- not even in a small talk kind of way. Waste of time.

yes i've come the the conclusion that facebook is just evil. Thought it was kool at first but now i don't. After T ditched out on dinner because I denied him sex, and finding out last night that the wife has signed up I said ciao to facebook. I do not wish to connect to ppl I don't want to ever see again, especially that duo.

Facebook is my new addiction but thankfully, I haven't encountered anyone that I don't remember/don't want to talk to. Yet.

Facebook does open you up to former "relationships" or otherwise disappointing people from your past, but the best part is that you can just ignore his request for friendship. Seems like the guy was a bit lame anyway. I never do the friends thing. My favourite response is "That's okay, I have lots of friends."

What a nerve, wanting to be friends now.

The people I'd want to reconnect with -- I've already looked for them. How long have you been on facebook?

BWAHAHA I accepted his request anyway, and changed the details back to not speaking. He's kept it! YEEEEAH! I wish I had thought of that response!

If you have to 'debate' seeing someone again, then I think that's a fairly big clue - ya know?

It's a shame you can't rate the person and spill the beans about them on Facebook. I have enough challenges keeping up with my blogs, my myspace, my emails, IM's, and life...

I was on a dating Web site where you could leave testimonials for people, but you had to be on their Favorites list. Only good for raves and no rants. Too bad!

Well, that's not very good! I went on a date with a guy that offered to let me speak to some of his ex-gf's. I thought that was odd - I mean, like he's going to let me talk to someone that would say he was a shit?
