Hey everyone, I searched a bit on the forum but i didn't find exactly the same questions. 1- Is facebook a interesting tool to meet new people (for potential dating), or it is just too artificial? 2- Why many (in fact, the majority, at least on my "friends" list) of the LGBT people doesn't show their "interesting in" status on facebook? Is there any advantage or disadvantage? 3- Am i taking facebook to seriously and the best thing to do now is to get some fresh air? :roflmao: Thanks in advance! :smilewave
I've made friends off of facebook, but I've never tried dating off of facebook. I feel like that would be harder, since facebook is really not designed as a dating site. There are a lot of reason why people don't list their orientations (and now gender identities) on facebook. It could be because they are not out yet, or it could be because they don't want to be judged by their orientation alone. Also, some people don't list it because they are only on facebook for friends.
Funny you should mention that... I have a friend who told me that his friend expressed an interest in meeting me (I met this friend very briefly at a social occasion about 3-4 months ago). FB facilitated the follow-up by allowing me access to my friend's friend, so I was able to communicate with him directly (I never figured my friend as a matchmaker...), see what he looks like and what he does for a living. We have a date for this Sunday! Social media: the brave new world of dating!!!!
Thanks for both quick answers! (But more will always be welcome, haha) But, if i am already out, there isn't a real downside of changing my "interested status" to men and women?
People on Facebook tend to be not very friendly or welcoming. I have a few friends I met on Facebook though. People I met through mutual friends and games and I've never met one physically. I would if I could but they're scattered around the world.
It's interesting, I've made quite a few friends on the Internet who I later added on facebook, but I've never met a single one on facebook itself. I met people on YouTube and in the Ultimate-guitar community and things, who I later added. But I've never made a friend directly on facebook.
