    I was out shopping in the mall. I walked into a store and opened a small conversation with the clerk. He noticed a musical theatre shirt I had on and told me how much he loved musicals and stuff like that. We talked for a good 25 minutes. He was very mature acting, I pinned him for 21 but he was actually 18. :frowning2: Not so good luck there. Anyhow, he's involved in the theatre world a bit here and I found him on a friends Facebook, it seems as if we have a couple mutual friends. Is it weird or cyber stalking if I send him a friend request saying that I found him on a friends page, I enjoyed our conversation and just wanted to say hello! ??? :slight_smile:

    no, but leave it at that.

    Personally, I would think it's a bit strange, but nothing more.

    Well, two options. One - friend him on facebook. Two - go back to the mall and see if you can find him again. If so, say "I loved talking to you the other day, but don't want to bother you at work. Can I contact you on facebook or something?"

    I don't think so. I mean you didn't intentionally go out find this guy, you found him through mutal friends.

    I like Lex's 2nd option, but if you do go and friend him on Facebook, you can always say that you were looking through so-and-so's friends list (one of your mutual friends) and recognized him and thought you'd friend him. That eliminates the stalker factor :slight_smile:

    ^ ^ agree.

    facebook friends really dont mean very much. hell, just about everyone that i have met is my "friend" on facebook, and it doesnt mean that i really like them or talk to them a lot. people on facebook seem to have so many "friends", my friend for example has 450++, so friends on facebook hardly relate to your status in real life. Just say that you noticed you had a few mutural friends, and it doesnt seem weird at all.
