You must be older than me. I'm in college. The latest trend these days is for colleges to make a group for incoming freshman. When I was a senior in high school/incoming college freshman, future classmates added me on facebook.
It's not like we all formed some big conspiracy and decided to purposely never meet. But at a college this size, it's just natural that you won't meet everyone you added from the facebook group. We never met, but I see no reason to delete them. I intended to meet them, and I met quite a few, but I didn't meet all of them. They probably also intended to meet me.
"In my day..." (shaky old lady voice)
Seriously, when I was a freshman, we didn't have Facebook. We were given something like a yearbook/phone book with contact info and pics of fellow freshmen (it was optional to be included). I don't know how large your university/college is, but are there ever any facebook events where you can actually meet these people? If not, have you considered organizing one, yourself? It would be cool to have some kind of meet-up so you can have a chance to turn those online friendships into something potentially more fulfilling.
I said I'd never had sex? Obviously you're confusing me with someone else, kiddo. In over 6 decades I've had more sex than your 19 year old virginal body could possibly begin to comprehend. Marital, premarital and extra marital. And the majority was all amazingly delightful.
LOL! I wondered about that, too. Maybe he was confused because your location says the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Now that it's our second year of college, people don't pay much attention to the group anymore. The friendships are "established" and they've been established since halfway through the first semester.
There was never a formal meet-up, but a lot of people from facebook tried to meet each other at the beginning of college. And I've said before that I've met quite a few of these people. But there are some I haven't met, and it would be awkward at this point. I've told the story before on this forum about how I met a girl from facebook halfway through our first semester and that was awkward. If that was awkward, I don't want to imagine how awkward it would be to meet someone from facebook during the 2nd semester of our 2nd year.
That being said, some of my real life friendships are thanks to facebook.
Yesterday I was eating dinner with friends (4 of which were female). Some loser that deleted me on facebook sat down at the next table over with his frat boys. I hope he noticed me. I hope this got the point across that I don't need his friendship and I'm better off without him.
How many have you spent on this thread? I do believe you're pushing epic here!
This is my 251st post on this thread.
But in all fairness, I've been on facebook longer. I joined facebook over the summer in 2007. This thread started in November 2009. So I've probably spent more time on facebook.
900 hours is 37.5 days
900 hours over the course of 3.5 years is not as high as it sounds, though. I did the math and that's not even 1 hour per day (.68 hours per day on average).
My friend count went down. Luckily, it was just because someone deactivated their account.
