Finding Dates on Facebook: Common or Creepy?

I dedicate this article I found to the one and only PP! Since you are the master of FB flirting and hookups! Yep, you’re a ho but I still love ya!

I never ever use my FB to hook up or flirt. Its how I keep up with old and new friends, family and single isn't even checked on my profile. I don't want to add strangers into my FB page because you never know who this person really is or what he / she wants from you. Identify theft is also a big concern for me. But I hear it's a great place to meet potential partners. Does anyone besides PP use FB to hook up?

When looking for love online, one has a myriad of options: Match for the casual dater, eHarmony for those on the marriage track, Fitness Singles for the athletically inclined, and even JDate and Christian Singles for those folks looking based on faith. Plenty of sites advertise themselves as a place to find a mate, but what about the less obvious? What about Facebook? With everyone so plugged in and providing so much information about themselves on the social networking site, is it really that much of a leap to find dates on Facebook as well? Is meeting new people via Facebook becoming fairly normal or is it still kind of out of the ordinary?

In a sense, Facebook is already used as a singles site for those who aren’t in relationships. If your status says ‘Single,’ most will assume that you’re looking for something, whether it’s a committed relationship, a few dates, or one fun night. However, generally, the people who can see this information about you are friends or acquaintances, not complete strangers. But imagine if a total random sent you a message or friend request because he thought you were cute or she liked your favorite books. Is it all that different from a Match email?

Some will answer with an emphatic ‘yes,’ because their intention by putting ‘Single’ on the site was not to attract dates, but just to list information about themselves. These are the same folks who will tell you that if they wanted to find dates online, they would have put up an online dating profile. They’re on Facebook because everyone else is, and it’s a good way to keep up with friends and family.

Others will tell you that Facebook is no different at all, except that it’s free. If you didn’t want people to approach you, why not remove your relationship status altogether? Advances from strangers (and even friends you aren’t interested in dating) are easily avoided by simply omitting this information. Plus, with so many people making new friends from social networking sites - from Twitter meetups to blogger meetups - why does finding dates in the same manner sound so strange?

Still, others fall somewhere in the middle. While they don’t see themselves looking for potential partners on Facebook as it exists now, they would consider using the site for dating purposes if it had a separate component solely dedicated to matchmaking. The site already places ads for online dating services on the sidebars of anyone who has ‘single’ mentioned anywhere in his or her profile. But if a place existed on the free site to outright tell other people in the area that they were single and looking, these people would feel much more comfortable with the idea of snagging a date on everyone’s favorite social networking site.

Facebook has obviously proved to be useful in plenty of other arenas, from business networking to finding out if your high school crush is already married with kids. But whether or not people are ready to make the leap and use it as a dating site has yet to be seen. For now, you’ll just have to decide for yourself: is dating a stranger from Facebook becoming more common? Or is it still a little creepy?

The 10 Worst Ways to Break Up With Someone

Since I am dating sometimes here in Kuwait I find it interesting to write about my experiences in my blog. I ran across this great article on Shine that talks about the 10 top worst ways to break up with someone. I'll admit that I am guilty of a few...the text message breakup and then there was that time while on vacation. I've been on the receiving end as well and it was painful. Largely due to my famous tantrums where I can't take his BS anymore so I force him to do the breaking up. All I can say is that it takes talent and I'm gifted in that department. ;-) Men will put up with a lot of crap if they are in lust. Sometimes you have to give them a little push if you don't want to be the one breaking up with them "the Bad Girl / Guy". As Tyler Perry's movie line in Why Did I Get Married states, "you are so evil!" Lol.

From the Shine Article:  A breakup is a serious, earth-shattering moment that in most cases leads to a long road of emotional recovery. So, why did Berger think it was even REMOTELY OK to break up with Carrie Bradshaw... on a Post-It? Guess what Berger - it wasn't. And it's still not.  (You know I love me some Carrie and Sex and the City.)

Before we get to our Top 10, let’s acknowledge first that there are serious long-term marriages and relationships that end horribly, with lying, infidelity, abuse, and even breaking the law – and that those breaks are significantly more intense than what we’re talking about here. This list covers the ways to break up with someone that movies are made of, the ones that you can pass along to friends with the "can you believe!!!???" disclaimer, and the ones that hopefully, someday, you'll look back on and laugh about.

We asked our BounceBack members, who have been through some of the worst breakups and divorces we've ever seen, to tell us the worst ways they've been left to pick up the pieces and move on.
Some stories are hilarious, some crazy, some embarrassing, and some, truly unbelievable. We've forgone some of the specifics and categorized everything we heard into the 10 worst ways. From what was said to where it went down, this is probably only the tip of the iceberg - so let us know your worst breakup story!

The 10 Worst Ways to Break Up With Someone

10. ON VACATION: Who would you most likely want to be stuck on a deserted island with? Not someone who's just told you "it's not working out," we're quite sure. Not only have you now wasted your time and money, but you can’t leave the situation easily without added plane fares and stress. If this happens to you, break away and turn your trip into a rejuvenating self-improvement retreat... you'll need it.

9. IN A TEXT MESSAGE: Ah, the text. The modern-day version of the Post-It. Too wussy to do it in person? Text away, wuss.

8. ON FACEBOOK: Nothing like logging on to find your loved one tagged in a compromising photo with a complete stranger...to you, at least. Why this is called the "World Wide Web" and some people can't figure out how they got busted is beyond us. Besides, it's way too trendy these days - be original, people!

7. AROUND THE FAMILY: Don't make it a family affair - you'll seriously regret it. Whether at a sibling’s wedding (see #6), a family vacation (see #10), or meeting the family for the first time (really!?), this one is clearly ridden with minefields that will lead to nothing but trouble. If this happens to you, at least you've got your "people" nearby to protect you, support you, and promptly kick your brand-new-ex to the curb.

6. AT A WEDDING: The wedding. The defining moment for any couple. The pinnacle of celebrating relationships and love. The day they'll remember as the best day of their lives. Forever. Guess the pressure got to you, huh?

5. AT YOUR "SPECIAL PLACE": That restaurant where we had our first date...the bar where you told me you loved me...the bench in the park where we'd sit every Sunday... Why on earth would anyone think this is a good idea? Let the special place stay special. Just like there are other fish in the sea, there are other places in the whole world. If they can't find another place, you should definitely find another fish.

4. IN BED: Come again? Talk about ruining the mood. At least wait until you're clothed. This one is so embarrassing that we're having visions of the recurring dream where you're on stage in front of everyone you know in nothing but your underwear. Except you're not even wearing underwear.

3. ON VALENTINE'S DAY: There are 365 days in the year, and ONE dedicated to celebrating love. It's not like you can't claim you didn't "know" it was Valentine's Day - the stores, the ads, the cards have been in your face for weeks. Pick another day. It's that simple. Don't ruin this day forever for someone, unless you're really in need of some bad karma. (New Year's Eve and Birthdays received honorable mentions.)

2. BY DOING NOTHING: It was tough not giving this the Number 1 honor, and we're still not sure. Being forced to figure something out by yourself is sometimes the hardest and most humiliating thing of all. Coming home to find your love gone, with no note, no calls, no anything may just be the worst way to handle a breakup. It is definitely the WIMPIEST. Just remember that. You do this, you are weak.

1. BY CHEATING: Sadly, this is the most common response we received - and the stories ran the gamut, from the one-night-stand, to the ongoing affair, to the ongoing affair that you only found out about via "the new person," to the unspeakable announcement that your boyfriend or girlfriend is engaged to someone else (WHAT?!?). To these we simply say, come ON. Just break it off before you cheat. You won't hurt our feelings, we promise.

The bottom line to all of this? If this happened to you, we can 100% guarantee that you are better off without this person in your life. If THIS is the way they think is appropriate to end a relationship, imagine how they would handle life's other challenges. Not well, we're guessing. Time for you to bounce back and move forward to someone who deserves you and your love.
