Since becoming single I have become a Facebook addict, becoming a dab hand at using applications. This is the reason why I thought I would talk about Facebook on this forum.
It dawned on me this weekend that I had been dating someone who I had indicated was attractive on the Sparkey/ Chainn app when his picture popped up, earlier this year. Obviously as I have lots of things going on it didn’t dawn on me that the guy I had anonymously said yes to ‘Would date’ was actually sitting next to me when I first met him in the flesh.
In fact it was Pretty Man and as I have indicated previously the guy looks so delicious I could eat him. Since we started hanging out, we became friends on Facebook and its tempting to check his profile to see if there are any flirtations on his wall. Especially as he is still not my man and I may seek to justify why his interest in me does not seem as keen as it was when we first met.
The main thing that stops me however is that any reader of my blog will know that Pretty Man is not the only guy I have been seeing so if he is anything like me, any flirtations with potential relationship contenders would not be taking place on the public wall. This is not only because:
- it is visible to all visitors to my page, and
- potentially sent to all my friends in the news feeds.
Real flirtations for me take place via facebook chat/ MSN or offline on the ancient contraption called the phone. With the phone and IM you can see if someone has instant wit and charm, as well as whether they understand me.
As I have got this sense of perspective I hope I won’t turn into a bunny boler for Pretty Man or anyone else that I may meet…via Facebook or in the real world.
