How did she know your name or how to find you? Are you both in the same groups on FB or something?

I doubt he knows how for sure, but she probably noticed him on a friend's friend list and recognized his picture, or he was on her "people you may know" (or whatever fb calls it) list because of friends they have in common. Or she may have seen his post on the page for some campus group or local business or something. This is quite common. College campuses can be pretty incestuous; smaller ones especially but even larger ones to an extent.

I was in grad school at a fairly large university when FB first took off (back when it was only for people with university email addresses) and nearly everyone had FB friends in common with everyone else. I miss the Wild West days of FB, back when its primary purpose was to socialize and hook up rather than advertise and share baby photos.

If you're worried about your relationship with your girlfriend because of a silly friend request from a girl who is probably not even into you, then you need a new girlfriend.

Accept it if you want or don't. I have tons of "friends" on facebook from campus that I don't talk to, they just added me because they are in a club and trying to recruit or something along those lines. I doubt it means something.
This is very good advice.

Well, let's be honest, it could mean something...Just as if she said hi to him while passing on campus it could mean something. It could also just mean she's being nice, though. I certainly wouldn't assume she's being flirty in either scenario.

I wonder if her friend list is public for the OP to see. If she has 200 "friends" I'd say it's more likely to mean something than if she has 2,000.

Is this even a question? Unless you love to cheat on your girl friend with other girls then accept it. You have not even spoke to her how do you know that you will or wont like her. You can always remove someone if you don't like them.

Don't care

It's your Facebook, not mine.

I'm only Facebook friends with people I'm actually friends with.

Others are Facebook friends with people for vastly different reasons.




What are you really asking?
