And I think this may be the best place to do it since maybe three people read this.

I want to Facebook stalk this one person I kind of know. (Like, badly.) But I won't let myself because, frankly, it's sort of creepy to do that.

I'm pretty sure this person and I wouldn't have any "mutual friends," so the opportunity to seem a little less stalker-ish is flushed right down the toilet. Because, you know, if you have a mutual friend, then you can say to the new person, "Hey, I found you through so-and-so," and thus a valid connection is established. But without that mutual friend, what do you have?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Of course, you could always see if this person had a friend that you actually knew but hadn't added as a friend. Because then you could add the person you knew, and then this person would be the mutual friend, and then you could stalk the person you were meaning to stalk all along. It's like a bloody game of..... I don't know. It's like Choose Your Own Adventure. Sort of. Except twisted.
You can see that I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. It's the result of being jobless and spending way too much time on Facebook because you've got nothing else to do. I would never actually do any of the stuff above, but I spend a fair amount of time with my hands hovering over the keyboard just wondering..... What if?....
Inside every person there is a little stalker. Whether or not he/she chooses to admit it is up to him/her. I prefer to expose that stupid little stalker of mine (I call her Gigi after the gal in He's Just Not That Into You).
Forgive me and don't think less of me.
Thanks.
P.S. Dear Jason, that's what's on my mind. :)

Hey! Yeah, I'm in your University ward... or was. I don't know if you are anymore. Thanks for commenting. :)
And I too, admit to FB stalking people. And there is someone I wish I could stalk via FB right now too. Haha. :)
Hahaha. isn't that the truth? we all facebook stalk. i'm so glad someone finally came out in the open about it. way to be.
Do it chessie. Take the leap. FB stalk them. You'll feel so much better after you finally type there name in and look at the profile page. not that i have ever done that.....
LOL I admit to doing it too. And sadly I have become a master...If you ever want to be the Luke to my Yoda I can show you the ways my young padawan :)
You know... you could always add them as a friend and say "Oh... I thought you were someone else with that name". A little weak, but they would never know that
Don't feel bad Chessie; we all FB-stalk people. But I agree with Sarah. Just do it. There's nothing wrong with looking at someone's FB profile. And I have two ideas/questions for you: is there any way you could accidentally bump into this person and be like "hey, you look familiar...tell me your name again"? Then you go home and become this person's FB friend and it will make sense because you actually met. Second idea: Everybody likes to think they're special right? and there's also an unspoken contest on FB to have the most friends. This can work to your advantage. You could send this person a friend request with a message saying something like "hi, my name is Chessie, I know you though (insert setting or situation, like church for example) and I think you're cool and want to be your friend." I know it sounds sort of cheesy in this comment, but the person you send it to will feel really good about themselves, and they'll be predisposed to like you because you made them feel good. I hope that makes sense. Good luck. I can't wait to see you again when school starts.
