A female Philippines age 30-35, anonymous writes:

It was like, "OMG, is this true?..'' or "maybe I'm dreaming or somethng".. etc..

I opened my FB account and saw a single friend request.. I used to think who it might be, and guessed that maybe it was just someone from my old school whom I don't know, it's the usual case anyway..

But all of a sudden, I almost screamed with my lips close.. And I just couldn't believe the name I saw!

We both knew each other but we never really had any conversation ever since we were kids! We do play in the past but that's just something normal kids do and was only for the sake of fun. I never thought of having a crush on him before, just recently...

Since we're all into social networking sites, I believed he has an FB account, and I did see his.. We have 8 mutual friends, but they're not among his guy friends. Just common neighbors..Knowing this, still, I didn't even dare to add him because it looks awkward since we're not close.

Years and months had passed and yet there's still no connections

between us, until I saw that friend request.

I thought things like.. Maybe he just mistakenly hit the add button, but how come would this thing happen if there's a verification dialogue box that appears when you are sending friend requests?.. is the number of mutual friends enough for me to appear on his suggestion box?.. And a lots of whys came into my head..

I don't want to assume something much but the it still makes me wonder a lot!! Ughhh!! I guess I'm just thinking too much!

So, because I'm really overwhelmed, I thought of delaying the request for several weeks.. Or maybe ignore it!! Haha!! I just don't want something to connect us.. But since it's simply FB and everything is just as easy as a click.. I might as well confirmed him right away, but I did it a few hours later.. Hehe, so as not to put meaning on it!!! Haha!!

So, uhmm, what do you think?????? Maybe there's nothing about it, right? I'm just overthinking it that much!!! Oh and if you would advise me to chat him, it's a big No no no!! Haha!! I'm not the type that will do the first move, you know. It will simply be a weird feeling to me if I did such!

Hmmmm.. I guess you're all right.. I'm just over reacting about this simple matter. Well, anyway, I only have a little crush on him and I just only want to clear up my thoughts about it.. Thanks, guys!!

Blod agony auntI don't want to burst your bubble, but this is facebook. People tend to add people that they know just for the sake of it. A lot of people have sent me friend requests just because they know who I am, but often aren't even friends with me; it's not for any particular reason. So please don't jump to any conclusions! I know you said that you'd never start a conversation with him, but if you actually really want him to talk to you and nothing happens over the next few weeks, then you should probably just talk to him. You're back in touch again so you have a reason. But don't get ahead of yourself!

Hiya I know the feeling, this has happened to me too. I didn't send him a message he sent mee one about 2 months after adding me, just the casual hiya, how've you been sort of thing. Now we've been together 6 months lol. What i'm saying is dont be scared to start up a casual conversation just dont think too much into it, its a catch up nothing more and then you never know.

aunt honesty agony auntYou need to calm down and stop over thinking it. Be glad that he done it but if he doesn't try and talk to you you will be disappointed so just look at it as what it is an old friend adding you on facebook and if you really want to reconnect with him again say hi to him over facebook simple as that and if not well then here's hoping he contacts you. Either way good luck.
