so if you were in a relationship with someone you wouldn't be fb friends?

Maybe if we were dating a long time. It's just such a bad idea. What do you think will happen? You will see pics you don't want to see or she will and then it'll become a topic of conversation. Then.. when are you guys official? are you fb official? Are you breaking up? Are you fb broken up?

Just avoid

And on the off chance you guys are dating for 3 months and she turns weird and asks you to erase old pictures, it might turn into an ultimatum.

Doesnt it happen that you get to know someone somewhere, they add you on facebook and it progresses from there ? This often happens after going to a big party or whatever and some chick adds you or vice versa.

(I totally agree with the whole dilemma if you didnt add each other yet obv, no go)

I don't think being fb friends with someone you're dating is a big deal. I also don't post much personal info on there. By date 4ish is probably normal. The dreaded fb relationship status is another story and I always avoid that

You have to ask yourself. Do you want her lurking you? You don't what kind of girl she is... she could seem cool, but once jealousy comes out isn't it just straight poison?

If you met through mutual friends add her, but if it's through 0 mutual friends and an online dating site. Why bother, really

as far as relationship status goes who cares? I mean i don't really give a **** about it as long as it's reasonable and would just let the girl do whatever she wants with that. Obv if you break up you change your status?

This isn't a big deal for me, but I'm curious as to when you guys reveal your last names to online dates?

The girl I saw last night texted me today saying she meant to ask me, but forgot to ask what my last name was and then gave me hers.

Didn't have any issues with it at all. It just got me thinking that it is something that doesn't really come up early in online dating unlike IRL where you often have a bit of background info on the person.

Of all the dates I've had over the last few months, there is only 1 where I knew her last name.

I dunno, I've just been on the receiving end often. Where a guy friend gets a new gf and I'm erased. They break-up and there's a request to be added again. If you want to do it, then do what you gotta do.

I say avoid because the likelihood facebook will cause any sort of problem in the future is high.

Example, swedish girl knows my last name because i've used it a couple times to make restaurant reservations. I might be somewhat hesitant to just give it out to randoms online but if anyone who seemed like a non psychopath ever asked me on a date i'd just tell them and not really think twice about it...

Hah I actually saw her post saying she'd review people's stuff and I sent it to her. I assume she has been bombarded with lots of lurkers wanting similar feedback.

I am behind ( -_-) I'm sorry. I am getting there. I like to do them while I'm lunching at work, but work doesn't start until tomorrow and I have 6 in queue.

Hah it is no problem at all. I knew you must have had a long list. That's why I checked for some initial feedback from anyone else willing.

Also, Penelope, Swedish chicks are awesome.

I may just go to Sweden and make some chick marry me and move with me back to the US

Is it common for girls to not like divorced men? Came up last night when I was talking to a girl at a party.

She was 25 and we were getting along well. She asked me about my last long term relationship and I said. "I was with her for 10 years a married for 3." Or something along those lines.

All interest immediately vanished.

Maybe it was a stark reminder I'm old?(31)? It was so weird. I'm not too fussed, but its the third or fourth time it's happened.

Maybe it's that I've only Been divorced for 5 months?

For younger women being divorced is definitely more of a turn off than for women in their 30s. Divorced means you committed to a life-long relationship and failed. Not really a positive, to be sure. Also, studies show people who divorced once are more likely to fail in future relationships as well. That makes sense to me. I'm divorced too, btw.

It's just a symptom and not a cause. Having said that, I don't do the fb thing unless she friends me and then I feel like I have to accept.

+1. Don't let it discourage you from getting out there but don't be surprised. Most 25 year olds haven't been in real serious relationships let alone marriages.

I'm sure there are ways to spin it in your favor based on the personality of different girls I just can't help there
