The Do's and Don't s of Facebook Courting

I think it's safe to say that Facebook has become a part of everyone's life.  Whether it be updating our statuses throughout the day or finding a certain someone that you may have met the night before.  The important part is to not fall under the category of a "creep" in your day to day Facebook activities.  Hopefully this entry will help you in your own personal FB journey.

The rules are pretty lenient if your FB interactions are between friends, anything is game.  I utilize this to my full capability, from liking peoples statuses to uploading signs that seem to be promoting child molesting and tagging people in them.  It's all harmless fun, that's the point of it.  Unfortunately ladies and gents, when it comes to "talking" or "dating" the rules well.....they aren't so clear.

Do's and Don't s

• Add as Friend: Friending someone you met the night before that you had a substantial conversation with (greater than five minutes in which introductions are made), or someone you danced with for at least a couple songs is permissible.  This act is harmless, people who read into it do this because they have nothing else to do.
• Wall Post: Writing on someone's wall that you have been talking to, for a week or so, hinting towards some inside joke.  This is always fun.  Plus now with social networking being so popular, it can be used as a forum to advance the talking stage to the next level.
• The inbox message:.......quite the big deal.  If you do decide to go down this route, make sure it's important or something personal.  Nothing is more annoying then clicking on the message and it says "hey."  Come on, that shit could have easily been sent by any other form of communication! 
• The Relationship Request: Ladies we all know your quick to jump the gun here, and yes we all know you say "I'm just having fun, I don't even like him."  Unless the guy is some kind of mutt, this always changes after the no pants dance takes place.  I recommend that maybe you discuss the topic with your significant other before you send the request, because if it gets ignored or denied nobody wants to be around for that awkward conversation.
• Poking: Many people forget about this tool.  This is the Jeffrey Dahmer of FB tools.  My opinion is that people who elect to poke before adding as a friend are tomorrows future rapists, congratulations.  My rule on poking is that if you wouldn't be comfortable going up to the pokee and poking them in the face then it probably is not appropriate for you as the poker to act on this decision.  If your clever though it could probably be done ironically after a one night stand, I wouldn't know.  That is a little above my FB competency.

In conclusion friend who you want, write on a someone's wall, send a message if it's important, talk about relationships before you post it, and don't poke unless your a freak.  That pretty much sums up my thoughts on FB communication.  I'm sure I haven't covered everything, but these are the more important day to day activities.  Let me know if there should be any adjustments to this entry.

(This blog entry is obviously meant to be a joke and not be taken seriously, do whatever you want on FB.  I couldn't give two pokes about it)
