Is it normal to add someone on facebook that you don't really know?

There was this guy in my English class last semester who I thought was really cute. We got placed to do some assignments together in a group but never got the chance to talk about anything not related to the class or outside of class. I was wondering whether it would be weird to add him on facebook and at least say hello.

    You are asking two different questions here.
    Yes it is normal to add people you don't know. I don't think it is SMART but normal.

    Yes, go ahead and add him. You have met him irl so that ebbs off the creepiness.

    It's weird, they are called "friends", don't get people who add every single fuckface they come a cross, like trying to get a high score or something

      I think someone who has like over a 1000 "friends" is more pathetic than someone with 50.

    If you're unsure, ask him for permission.

    Add him...then, ask if he wants to get a cup of coffee or go see a movie together. If that doesn't work, messenger provocative pics of yourself scantily dressed. If he still doesn't get the hint, he is probably gay, or, you are a fat fuck.

    It depends on the person and how private he is, if a lot of his profile is fairly public and he has 100s of friends he will probably be adding people he doesn't know all that well, if it's all hidden and he only has a few friends (or his frinds list is hidden) he probably isn't adding people he doesn't know. Since you have actually met and worked with him (rather than just seen him around) it would probably be ok to send him a message to say hi and ask how he's going but it doesn't mean he will reply

    If he does add you be aware of who else is on his profile, ie there might be things that are said at school but you wouldn't want to say in front of his parents.

    I've added a lot of random people on my facebook. Its a good place to meet people, not only a place for people you know, that can get a bit boring. I even met up with one of the random girls and hit it off with her, we still friends. If you add someone, you can always delete them if you dont like them. Sadly I've had to deactivate my facebook account as my girlfriend thinks I'm too popular with the girls, although its more that shes just very jealous over me.

    I accept everyone that adds me on facebook unless it's someone I already know and dislike. It always gives me a smile if a cute girl adds me. Just be careful, and make sure he isn't some kind of creepy closet weirdo!

    I think it's okay. People I haven't met request me, and I accept if we have mutual friends or I know where they got me from.

  • I added a lot of my classmates that I did projects with last year. They friend-ed me on Facebook and I accepted. We never hung out at the time and haven't since, but we had some pretty good classroom conversations in our writing classes.

    I don't see anything wrong with it.

    Facebook was intended to catch up with FRIENDS not people sitting in your friends list who are really, just people you know, NOT FRIENDS.
