Question - (17 October 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 18 October 2011)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

hey guys i had my first day at a new job today and when i got home i started to search someone on facebook to add them as a friend but i only knew her first name.

anyway as i was searching i kept clicking on profiles to look at the picture to see if it was my colleague and i came across this profile of a girl and she is beautiful we have 4 mutual friends but i don't speak to any of them and she live near me. i thought about adding her.

should i add her and send her a message with it to make it less creepy?

and what should i say in the message to not freak her out?

So_Very_Confused agony auntcan you just send her a message w/o adding her... say something like what you told us

"saw your picture, we have mutual friends in (insert the list of friends here) we live close... you intrigue me are you interested in getting to know each other?"

k_c100 agony auntWell me being female, if a guy I didnt know added me I really wouldnt like it, regardless of the message he sent! I never add randoms as friends, and I never accept any friend requests from randoms either. So I dont think this is a good idea at all, you will creep her out just with the friend request!

Your only hope is to speak to one of your mutual friends, and see if you can find out more about her that way. Double check if she has a boyfriend while you are at it, that will save a lot of time and effort for you!

I hope this helps and good luck!

angelDlite agony auntinstead of adding her directly why not ask one of your friends who she is friends with about her and if they would put in a word for you? you don't know this girl, she might HATE if some randomer tries to friend her coz he's spotted her on a friends FB or she might find it flattering. tough call. so maybe err on the side of caution and don't add out of the blue, get one of your friends to mention you to her, she might have a boyfriend for all you know
