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 use mostly to connect with old friends but it is funny how I have been finding a lot of things in common with some old co-workers that I did not really know all that well, it is almost like now, I can see more about what they do, who they are, etc. and it is not as weird as online dating because I have met these people before, I have spent time with them and we definitely share interests, things in common, etc.
I think Facebook can be effective to get to know people you already know better. Also, I have met friends-of-friends through Facebook as well.
However, I think it is CREEPY when people I have zero connection to whatsoever try to befriend me and chat me up on Facebook. Facebook is NOT a dating website.
I would still be careful. I don't use Facebook, aka Crackbook (lol), anymore. But I have noticed that most people share only what they want the public to know about them. Even if they share the most tedious minutae on their status reports, you would still not know enough about them. It's like show-and-tell for the most part. What are they not showing you or telling you? Could just be me, but I think dating coworkers is risky. There is always fallout, often public, when it doesn't work out. I also think that the only way to get to anyone is in person and over time.

I think it's a perfectly good vehicle for dating/flirting.
I've met some good friends there, even got attached to a woman I met there, for her only to say she wasn't interested. We're still good friends though, but it wouldn't have been possible without Zuckerberg.
In truth I've grown bored of it now, just silly games and such (like Farmville, what the hell is that? )

Facebook, to me, is for communicating with my family and close friends. The very presence of the various security settings clearly make it a poor dating site. It's not designed as one, & I don't recommend attempting to use it that way.

It's not like it stuck to its original idea anyway. I'm sure it can "evolve" some more as it evidently does already!
I guess, I did not make myself clear. For example: I used to work with girl and I am not longer with that company. I always knew she was as much as a fitness freak as I am but because we were always busy at work, we never had time to talk to much.
Lately, we have been talking a lot about fitness and I thought about meeting her at the gym one of these days. Another guy I used to work with, also wants to meet at the gym.
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.
