As I said before, it depends on what you use it for. My daughter and I and others, use the chat function a lot. Access to my page would also allow private conversations I have with anybody.
Not much different than not offering up each others phones.
And when I say there's nothing on there that would interest him, it's not only true, but I would expect t be believed.
I'm not sure what you're talking about since I don't use the chat function. Adding someone as a friend should only allow them to see your photos and the posts on your timeline (and you can choose to make certain posts visible only to specific friends). I don't know how he would be able to see private conversations that you've had with other people.

Awk, you're right! Sorry, I was thinking of giving them access to my page!
However, my last sentence still stands.

What if someone wants to keep their dating life private and not broadcast it all over Facebook?

I understand not wanting to broadcast your dating life by changing your status to "In a relationship with (Person's Name)" and posting lovey, dovey pics all the time- but I just take issue with refusing to add the person as a friend period (if they want to be added).
I was interviewing with a company a while back and the initial phone interview the lady was asking me if I was on FB and was trying to Friend me. I was thinking to myself, I don't know you, why the F would I want to FB friend you. Plus what if I don't get the job and all, are we supposed to be besties??? I thought it was the most unprofessional thing I've seen a long long while.
This same stupid woman corrected me when I mentioned something about "sales" she said "revenue generation" or some other bull**** term for sales. LOL... I felt like telling her if she's so professional and all why the F invite a prospective job interviewee to be FB friends... LOL.. I about split an organ holding my irritation back from this silly twit.
It's not unusual to be asked for FB friending when job hunting.
Some people are actually dumb enough to have things on their pages that pretty much ensure some companies don't want you as an employee.

I think it's completely and utterly unprofessional for a job interviewer to ask to put you on their FB list??? LOL... am I the only one that thinks this?
What do you do if the company rejects you... see all of the interviewers feeds... be besties with them. LOL.... whatever

Can't say I've ever been asked such a thing when job hunting. I've connected with some former co workers when I've left to keep in touch, people I became friendly with, but that's about it.

Agreed. Especially if they post: 'called in sick today, going fishing!'
People are surprisingly unaware of how the things they post can reflect on them.
I'm happy to say, I still don't have a FB account.
