I understand he wants friends but that's just the wrong way to go about it, you can't see someone and hunt them down on facebook and just think they're gonna be ok with that.
I feel bad for this guy because he needs a friend, but on the other hand he reminds me of this guy who stalked a Facebook girl for about a week, having to TELL her that he's a nice guy, trying to talk to her when she's not replying and asking her of, until she told her off and there was this huge fight in the comments about it
I don't understand why everyone thinks Facebook stalking is creepy. You find a person you like, then spend like, five minutes looking for information they make publicly available, and suddenly your a creep. Makes no sense.
I dunno about you but if someone saw my outfit, checked the sports team I play on to see who I am and then contacted me via social media site asking me about my relationship status, what I'm doing a certain day, and proclaiming they're going to act like they're my friend in front of everyone when me and them both know we aren't,
I'd classify it as stalking.
At a certain degree. I would too. When it becomes creepy to a point where I don't want to deal with them, I would contact the police, but if it's just someone asking me out, I would turn them down and forget about it, hoping they do the same.
How is it more than five minutes? Go to lacrosse team Facebook page, cross reference team member names against initials, done. Five minutes max. The fact that he flat-out accepted the rejection also suggests that it wasn't any sort of longer-term stalking. Everyone here is over reacting.
It is overreacting. He was forward about how he knew who she was, struck up a conversation in a reasonable way, and within that conversation accepted his rejection as soon as she was relatively clear about it. It's not stalking.
I appreciate your newfound interest in ponies, but I have to agree with Garlog, here. While this isn't the best way to introduce yourself to someone, especially if you think they have a bf (although that might have just been a dumb way of asking), the whole facebook stalking thing was a bit of an overreaction. Especially when you consider that most people, including teens, do stuff like this at some point. You just don't see it like that at the time because it's YOUR crush.
While I thank your appreciation, I must say that would call it stalking in my opinion, because looking at someone long enough to be able to find out how to connect to them via Internet is a little creepy to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to seem like an overreaction, I just think that it's just a bit awkward.
I agree it is awkward.. But that's kinda what we've come to in this technological age isn't it? Getting to know each other on Facebook, tinder, online profiles.. I mean even potential employers find out about you through LinkedIn or whatever else.. Though I don't agree with this behaviour, we all know it happens. This guy was just more upfront about it than most people are
In this case, yes, but say I'm in a position where I'm having an awkward conversation with a friend, no, I wouldn't call that friend a creep. Just accept that we have differing opinions. You aren't anymore right than me so stop acting like we're idiots because we don't have the exact same mind as you.
I'm 90% sure I'd do the same thing if I'm as lonely in college as I am now.

This reminds me of the time when I looked up my friend's house on Google Maps. All I had was a major landmark she was close-ish to and a very small (few blocks) road map (the grey mode on google maps) with a big fat fucking watermark right in the middle of her jogging route. I decided I was bored after browsing all the FS stuff for the night so I went to the landmark, zoomed out lots until I could see about half a mile in every direction, then slowly zoomed in until I matched the streets lining up. I then proceeded to message her and describe in excruciating detail her house and she was running all through and around and outside her house trying to find me.
To me, I would respond the same way even if it was my crush.
I don't want to have a person I don't even know acting like my friend, especially if they're stalking me
I'd classify it as stalking.
I'm really not so sure what got you so worked up about this. We're not "ninnies". We just see things in different light, me and the people that agree.
All that I'm saying is that I find it kinda unreasonable, weird, and forward. If you can't accept that, you'd better adapt to it soon because we are a site of differing opinions.
