Would I come across as creepy or desperate if I add this guy on Facebook?

Question - (30 November 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 20 February 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Earlier I was bored and clicking around on facebook, and found myself on the profile of a guy whom I had 9 mutual friends with. Looking at his profile I could see that he often attends the same clubs as me, and shares my music taste EXACTLY (there's not many people who do) not to mention I found him extremely attractive. And he's single! I also kinda recognise him, in a way, although I do not believe we have ever directly met.

Adding random people who I don't know, especially boys, is not something I have ever done, and I'm not the kind of person who uses the internet as a way to meet potential boyfriends, but I find myself really wanting to add him!!

What I need people's opinons on it, would it come across as creepy or desperate if I did? I'm terrified of getting a "thanks for the add, do i know you?" comment!

If it helps, I do tend to get quite a bit of male attention, and I'm 20, not a 14 year old girl desperate for a boyfriend.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

just updating this... 2 and a bit months down the line- i ended up adding him and we exchanged a few messages but the conversation didn't really go anywhere and died and i ended up forgetting about him for a bit lol. a month-ish later he came up to me in one of our regular clubs and asked if i was the girl from facebook. we ended up getting together that night, went on a few dates over the next week and BOOM we have now been in an official relationship for almost 3 weeks :D early days but it's going great so far. i am so glad i did add him :)

Claraw1 agony auntYou can add him, just add a personal message something likie the following

"Hi, we haven't met, but I have seen you around. We have some mutual friends and some things in common, I was wondering if maybe we would like to be friends and get to know each other."

That way you don't come across desperate, and just take it from there. Get to know him, and you never know what happens.Good Luck.
