People add strangers? Wow and here I thought FB was for connecting with family and old friends.
My FB is mostly about people of my current life. Sure, there's family there, a college classmate or two, and the link to my high school reunions, but practically 95%+ are of my acting, dancing, and Rennie friends.
To add someone from a dating site I think would be fair to show them what they are getting into. Fair but perhaps stupid for it might send many of them running; us Rennies can be a pretty intense kind.
I wouldn't, but I won't say nobody should. I'd feel very uncomfortable, though. I don't know anything about that person yet. Am I really going to let him see where I work, where I went to school, my former job, all my friends, and pictures of my children?
To give an example, I have been here on CD literally for years. (Nine years, I think?) I have ONE FB friend from here on CD, in all that time.
I found it funny this girl I was on a 2nd date with didn't want to mention the park she was having her family reunion at the next day but I am expected to reveal my real name? lol
What did she think I was going to show up unannounced at the park and say.."HEY!!!!

I would hope people would give their real name before they even meet. I would never use anything but my real name.

I find your lying about your first name very odd. It is something non-specific (plenty of people named the same thing).
If I was dating or chatting with you, I would cease all communication once I found out.

Funny that the dude mocks her for not wanting to give him information on where she'll be on a specific date and time, yet he's terrified to even give her his first name.
Hmm.
Sounds creepy to me, trying to mock and shame a girl until she gives up personal information while he tiptoes around anonymously. Uh, okay.
The purpose is that it makes it easier to snoop on them and verify that they're telling the truth about things.
Bingo. Most people's dating profile pics are also their facebook profile pics, so with just their first name you can find them. It's obviously easier if they have a more unique name. I use facebook to friend women that I've came in contact with online and we've moved off the site. It was a way for me to see a bit deeper into who the person is, since I've seen that people who are very active facebook users, just about put their entire life on it. It gives me a basis to figure out if the person is who they truly say they are or not, because not many people lie on facebook. It's a pretty good tool to fact check someone. Employers use it during the hiring process, because it's become a reliable tool to background check someone's spoken word.
Plus like everyone else has stated, if you don't get along, delete/block and move on. It's a very simple process and I like facebook a lot for that reason alone. Also, you can see if someone has gained or lost weight from their OLD profile pic as well.
Never understood the purpose of it since you barley know each other and now you inviting this person to see all your personal business like relatives and place of employment? I find it kind of odd since there is no guarantee you will continue seeing each other after 2 or 3 dates so why connect on Facebook?
No way I would do that.
Only real life friends - not dates, not people I barely know, not even coworkers - have access to my Facebook.
