Is adding someone you like on Facebook a first move
|
He'll quite possibly be one of those who adds anyone on fb anyway. If he's a bit more thoughtful with his adds, he'll almost certainly either remember you from school or deduce that based on mutual friends. Show Sure, go ahead and add him! At least start up some kind of contact, else you'll never get the chance to start getting to know each other. 1. DO NOT HIT "ACCEPT" YET. Do not hit "accept" yet. Not until you're ready. First Facebook Impressions are important: it just takes one embarrassing "Chiara Atik likes Cheetos on Sept. 23" to completely ruin your chances with someone. 2. Start With The Important Thing: Your Top 5 Pictures. He or she has already seen your profile picture, so no use wasting your time on that. Instead, cast a critical eye on the 5 pictures on the top of your profile. Are these the best possible 5 pictures of you in existence? Is it a good mix of contemplative "impromptu" solo shots, and pictures of you laughing gaily while surrounded by your copious friends? Are the pictures from a variety of different events and not just That One Party You Went To In May? (If you've already activated Timeline, this step is even more important since only one tagged photo of you shows up at the top of your profile. Make it a good one!) 3. Scroll A Little Further. Look through, let's say, the next 20 of your tagged photos. Here, you're just scrolling to quickly detag anything potentially unflattering/those annoying pictures of like, a cornucopia that your high school friend's mom tagged you and 100 people in with the caption "Happy Thanksgiving!". After 20, it doesn't really matter what you look like: anyone who's still clicking is obviously into you. 4. Move On To The Wall. Make sure you haven't "liked" any embarrassing articles lately. (Do not "like" this article, for example.) 5. What Do You Write on Your Friends' Walls? If your own wall has "hahahahahhaha!' on SoSos Wall" 500 times, delete at least 80% of them. You don't want to seem like you spend all of your time on Facebook, but you also want to make it clear you are receptive to Facebook comments and wall posts, should your crush feel so inclined. __6. Click On "More Info". __ Here's a section of Facebook that maybe you haven't looked at in a few years, but it's important to check it out on the off–chance that your crush does, and finds something embarrassing. For instance, while writing this post I clicked on my own "Facebook Info" and found that for some reason these are the only two TV shows listed under "Television". 7. Okay, Now You Can Accept The Friend Request. Who cares if now your Facebook wall is not at all an accurate representation of your life? You look amazing in those pictures. 8. Be Careful Of The Next Thing You Post. Bee–tee–dubs, the next thing you like, post, upload or tag on Facebook will likely show up in your crush's Newsfeed, so by God you better make sure it's the wittiest, smartest thing you'll ever write. It's no big deal, only your future life's happiness. 9. Wait, now your other crush has friended you? Rinse and repeat, folks. Rinse and repeat. --Written by Chiara Atik for HowAboutWe.comDo you agree with these suggestions? What else should you do to your profile when your crush adds you on Facebook? Personally, I like adding guys that I like on Facebook. But that's just me, so I can't speak for other girls. In some cases I might wait for him to see if he'd add me first, but I would have no problem with adding him anyway if he didn't. It's just Facebook. React

If I am flirting with him then I wouldn't add him, I would wait for him to add me. However I don't use Facebook much so it's not a good way to contact me. React Like Helpful Funny Disagree Reply

tiffany101 Follow Xper 4 Age: 34 , mho 53% +1 y If a girl has a crush on you, she WILL add you. React Like Helpful Funny Disagree Reply Anonymous (30-35) +1 y Depends on how well I know him, how long it's been, and how much I like them. I generally do the "old school" thing, and I expect the guys to make the first move. Including just asking to be my friend.

But , i MIGHT add them if we were friends and our friendship is still developing Is it weird to add your crush on Facebook?In fact, it is something you should definitely do. Try to know about that person, so that you will learn about their likes and dislikes. Put your ego aside, there is nothing wrong in sending him or her a friend request.
Should I add the guy I like on Facebook?Go for it. Seriously! You have an awesome opportunity to message him and spark up a conversation. You would be better off with him thinking that you are pursuing him because then he is likely to let you know he is interested in you too.
When should I add her on Facebook?She suggests waiting about a month, or until you've defined the relationship, before friending someone on Facebook. And, perhaps more important than coming on too strong, following someone too early could impact your own thoughts about your potential new partner before you've had time to get to know them.
What does it mean when a girl adds you on Facebook?It simply means she is interested in some way. Maybe she's interested in getting as many friends as possible. Maybe you are an acquaintance and she simply wants know a bit more about you (in a non-romantic, non-sexual way).
