Re: adding potential on FB
Don't add him at all! Don't add him even on limited profile. Then he will constantly nag you about this, why am I on limited profile? Don't you trust me? Blah blah. If you added me, might as well open everything to me. Limited profile usually means he can at the max just see your basic info and message you. In that case he can communicate with you by other means too, so no need.
Re: adding potential on FB
^ Well if you add someone to Limited profile, it should not be obvious to them that they are on limited. Of course it would be insulting!
for the OP is the issue more about what others will say when they see you are friends? Like they'll make comments and assume more about your relationship than you are ready to reveal? I guess I can understand that. You can hide your friends list from everyone, but that's fine. I would just make sure that he knows why. As you said, your siblings have added each other and as longas you guys are open and honest, it's fine.

i guess it's a bunch of things:
We both clearly like each other but because of some issues (he's not settled...i posted a previous thread about this) our families want to wait till he has a job to commit. We ARE friends with each other but I don't like the idea of both of us having access to each other all the time. I tend to get attached easily--it might even be at that point now--and I don't want to make things even worse if worst come to worst. And I start feeling suffocated really fast so I don't think I'll be able to tolerate having him be on my fb commenting and everythign all the time. Our friends do know about us (I'm assuming from what I'e been able to gauge from his fb) and yes, they def would assume it got further than it did. I'm just worried about that because I'm preparing for the worst and I don't want to be even more devastated if it doesn't work out.
Re: adding potential on FB
A potential is just that, a potential, nothing more nothing less. Why should he get access to all your friends and family? All it does is open up a whole host of potentially awkward and embarrassing situations. If it works out and you two get engaged then sure, add him. Till then, he can make do with phone/email.
Re: adding potential on FB
yay or nay?
currently in the process of talking to someone, we're pretty good friends at this point. He keeps asking to be my fb friend...I don't know why! I've told him I'd rather wait until things progress further. what do you all think? am i making a big deal?
adjust your FB privacy settings and add anyone you want to .. :) ..
Re: adding potential on FB
Well if you have anything to possibly hide then nope but otherwise i think its fine, as you can roughly get an insight around his social circle.. but be vigilant as FB=arguments (well mainly).. so upto you :)
Re: adding potential on FB
Never add your bf or gf on fb one day he or she will be an X and it spells trouble :)
