I can't decide what my take is on this, and wanted to get your input. A friend was browsing on a vanilla dating site (she isn't a member) and saw someone she's really interested in. Based on his user name she was very easy able to find him on Facebook. Would it be really creepy of her to contact him on FB? What are your thoughts?

IMO, yes. It could be perceived as a bit creepy. quote: ORIGINAL: littleone14 Would it be really creepy of her to contact him on FB? There are some men who would be flattered, but as a general rule, it's better for a woman to not appear as if she is "throwing" herself at a man. It can make her look desperate. I'm old-fashioned that way. I like for the man to do the pursuing. If the shoe were on the other foot, and a man replied to something I had posted on YouTube, I would get a little creeped out if he contacted me on a different site instead. Unless it was Jude Law, of course. Jude gets a free pass any day of the week. Can she wait a few weeks until there is a free communications weekend on that site? What is this, love at first sight? She can wait.

Not necessarily, though she should approach it as if she "stumbled" upon it.

If I girl I don't have any clue who she is befriends me on facebook I think it's a scam or a camgirl, nor creepy nor sweet just that she has some kind of agenda. If with the request there is a message and the public part of the profile proves she's genuine, than I would think she's easy, she's good looking I would be happy if not just ignore the request.

littleone14 -> RE: Creepy or sweet? (10/26/2013 9:49:50 AM)
I don't think the intent was just to randomly friend him. She'd send a message explaining the situation.

kalikshama -> RE: Creepy or sweet? (10/26/2013 10:03:14 AM)
I think she should explain the situation and go for it. I've always received a positive response when I contacted men out of the blue. (No one would mistake me for a cam girl from my first message, which is always well thought out and targeted to the individual.)

That is exactly how my high school girlfriend got back in touch with me. I had an old profile on OKCupid and used the same screen name on Facebook. Now my high school girlfriend and my girl are best buddies. (no, not a menage) I do think they plot against me on occasion.

zerogirl -> RE: Creepy or sweet? (10/26/2013 10:56:45 AM)
As a woman I would find it creepy if a guy "stalked" my fb after finding me on a dating site. However I would tend to think a man might be more accepting and possibly even flattered by the attempt. No guarantees but it is worth a shot. Is there any reason why she isn't a member of the dating site? Is it a pay site and she doesn't want to sign up? If so then that would be more understandable for why she's going out of her way to contact him on fb.

quote: ORIGINAL: littleone14 I don't think the intent was just to randomly friend him. She'd send a message explaining the situation. Maybe a I should rewrite the second part better (I speek for personal experience and by locker room talks), when excluded this comes from a professional, creepy or desperate when talking about girls are not words we use, sweet can be one but not for an approach by facebook, now we are not used to girls doing the first move so when it happens it's a "ego boost", the only thing she can warry about is to be considered easy, and that's something we are totally fine with if looking for play partners, or to be turned down because she's not looking good enough, enough can be variable from guy to guy but I'm not talking about beauty pegeants level but usually average nexdoor girl is more than enough to not be turned down.

~FRing it~ Why does she not just contact him through the website she found him at? Then she wouldn't have to be creepy or weird at all. As a woman, I too would find it creepy for some random guy to message me on FB mentioning that he saw me on CM (as an example), so he tracked me down on FB to send me a message.

I think it's the cost. You are probably right. Most dating sites don't allow you to send a message/mail unless you are a paid member even when it's free to join up. That said, there are some sites that allow a female to send a limited number of messages just because they are female (doesn't happen if you are a couple or male though). It's also one of the reasons I/we don't frequent any of the social networking sites. I certainly wouldn't want anyone contacting me out of the blue from any dating/kink site.

quote: ORIGINAL: souler Not necessarily, though she should approach it as if she "stumbled" upon it. It's not possible to just stumble across a Facebook profile though. He's not going to believe that for a second. If she does contact him, it's best to be upfront and even a bit lighthearted about it rather then trying to deny she Facestalked him.

SeekingTrinity -> RE: Creepy or sweet? (10/26/2013 12:37:46 PM)
Ah ok, makes sense now. I thought we were talking OKC or something along those lines. Well, I guess given the new parameters...Id approach him honestly on FB if she wants to see what the possibilities are. I guess if he was too concerned about privacy, he wouldn't have used the same username for both this dating site and FB.

LadyPact -> RE: Creepy or sweet? (10/26/2013 12:52:23 PM)
I'd say it's close to creepy but hasn't crossed the line just yet. If the reason for not contacting him on the site where she originally saw him was about fees to join and there was anything in the profile about alternative contact info, I'd say that probably wouldn't be an issue. If she had to track him down and researched his facebook, other dating sites, tried to find his yahoo and/or AOL type info, and more or less stalked his internet activity trying to find him or see what he was doing, I'd definitely put it in the creepy category.

garyFLR -> RE: Creepy or sweet? (10/26/2013 1:07:56 PM)
Personally, I would be extremely flattered, as long as the back story is fully explained. Otherwise I would think it's a scam. I don't suppose there's a bloke on the planet that wouldn't get a tingle if hit on by a Lady [:)].

DarkSteven -> RE: Creepy or sweet? (10/26/2013 1:09:07 PM)
Could she friend one of his friends on FB? Wait a week, and then contact him on the basis of the shared friend.

Yeah, this is where I am on this. It would not be over the line, but on it. Over the line would be contacting another of my friends, pretending to have lost my number and being 'too embarrassed' to ask me for it. Of course I dated that one for 18 months. Fucking nut job.
