Why, if we have no contact, does my BF show up as number one in my "people you know" on my FB? Does it mean that my ex-Boyfriend has been recently viewing my profile?

Why is my ex-boyfriend consistently the number one person in my "people you may know" on Facebook?

i haven't viewed his profile in a long time, and recently he has been the top person on the list every time I log on.

We've never been facebook friends, we have no common interests, we don't have each other's emails and never had, don't have anything else listed that is similar like school or work or location, and we only have 2 mutual friends.

All the other people I have on "people you may know" have more than 2 mutual friends with me, yet he is on the top of the list? does it mean he recently viewed my profile or has been?

The 'people you may know' either share multiple mutual friends with you OR your email or phone number was in a contacts list that they uploaded (possibly YEARS ago) to facebook to find friends.

It does not mean he is looking at your facebook page.

Even people you have no mutual friends with can appear in your PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW list. Don't worry yourself.

No it means nothing like that. Facebook doesn't have an algorithm that displays anything got to do with how many times someone has viewed your profile.

Just click the little 'x' at the top right of the suggestion every time it comes up and it'll disappear.

R1 agony auntI don't think people come up more because they have viewed your profile think its just because you have mutual friends. Just ignore it, who is Facebook to tell you who you should or shouldn't be friends with!

Honeypie agony auntDoes any of your other friends know him? If so that can be why, OR if you were friends before it CAN pop up as "people you may know". No sure why it does this if you unfriended him, but I have seen it before.

I wouldn't worry about it since he is an ex.
