Another girl I used to work with wanted to meet a Chili's today. I guess, I was wondering how successful Facebook can be as far as reconnecting with people like my old co-workers and maybe finding new dating possibilities with them or their friends.
Judging by the Facebook=Divorce thread, it must be quite successful.
I just joined Facebook about a week ago and although I can see how people may get addicted to it, I think it is a fun website. I was wondering if anybody here has had good experiences dating people through Facebook?
I cant possibly see how anyone would be able to use Facebook as a dating tool. Just like others here have said, its primarily a way to stay in touch with friends and family.

I don't even know what the site looks like, but I've heard of parties being posted there. Then you end up with a party where nobody knows anybody and people "mingle"... I heard that while in attendance of such a party. Lucky me, I knew the host and a few other people.
I admit , i randomly add people & i except almost anyone who asks me , but i have zero teronlence for creepiness and harassment , with that said Facebook can be Dangerous and confusing place for a new user. Get settled for a few months. What i did is i added all my friends , then added a few random friends i didn't know form there Networks , and built my network to 738 friends & Contacts. Also be Cautiousness on what u post on Facebook , becuz it might haunt you down the road , like a few of my friends pictures.
It's not like it stuck to its original idea anyway. I'm sure it can "evolve" some more as it evidently does already!
People can certainly "find" new virtual friends out there, but only those people that want to be found. Most people (well, those that I know that use it at least) lock down the site settings so that they cannot be located by random searches and their site information is viewable only by those that they have given access to. The fact that you CAN do that, makes it a very illogical site to be trying to use as a decent dating site. But it's free, so I guess that makes it very popular for some to try.
The thing about facebook is, it's not easy to look for new people, unlike Myspace, which is great for that... I guess you have to go off people on your friends friends lists etc. Or do randome searches of people's names! lol

It's only dangerous if you aren't smart about how you use it....like adding random people; adding a bazillion apps that pull not only your data, but from those on your list as well; and in general, being naive and careless.
Believe it or not, some businesses are encouraging the use of Facebook as a way of networking with co-workers and business clients and other business relationships -- kind of like handing out business cards I think.
I haven't decided if I will - but our employer has given us the green light with the typical precautions a business would give about keeping things appropriate.
So I checked around and found people I sometimes must communicate with in business already on there. Politicians and churches are using Facebook too -- it seems to be a pretty good social networking tool. I suppose for dating, as long as people are in a position to date, it could be better than trying to find total strangers.
I really gave up high school long enough ago that I can't see myself hunting down people I knew when I was 14 or 16.
It wasn't intentional, he met me first and then a week later and then....here we are.
