asking certain questions

Re: asking certain questions

perhaps a fake account is not needed. If some one is regular on fb, just adding him as friend will tell you a lot about his personality through his facebook wall and comments left by his friends on his posts and pictures.

agree with you on this.

bhai jaan aap larko ko badnaam kar rahay hein. i got more than 170 friends on my fb and keep filtering this list on regular basis. Not even a single one of them is a person that i dont know personally. And i know that there are a lot of guys like me.

Re: asking certain questions

I haven't added my siblings and they haven't added me. I guess the reasoning is that if we add one another, we might write embarrassing stuff on the others' walls. Then there's also the curiosity over the friends of opposite gender. We would rather not bring facebook drama into our lives. Despite that, I have some female cousins added but no male cousins. I think a guy would be more likely to add his male cousins he's really close to than his female cousins or sisters... I don't think it's that unusual... but maybe people would disagree with me.

Re: asking certain questions

hmm I guess that makes sense. It's just odd for me since I have my brother/sisters added and so do all my friends but I guess we're more open about having friends of the opposite gender (epecially since none of us have anything that can even be misconstrued as scandalous)...

Re: asking certain questions

soconfused can't add the guy right now. Besides, when she will add him, the guy might clean up his profile and friendlist. So adding by a fake account would be a good idea. Firstly, it will tell whether the guy adds random girls or not. If he adds, then soconfused can stalk his whole profile without him knowing whom really does this fake profile belong to. But the guy may be smart enough to know that confused might be stalking her and she should be prepared to face same kind of stalking by him (if he is that much bothered).

Re: asking certain questions

My goodness, are we still talking about this?

soconfused, if you're willing to make a fake, guy's profile to add your potential to FB to spy on him, why don't you just ask him? Wouldn't that be much better? If he's going to lie, he'll lie. But if he is as honest as his family proclaims to be, then he will have abstained from all the haram activities, and will tell the truth.

This goes for all of you girls posting in the thread. No harm in asking the guy. He will either tell you, or he won't. Most likely, he will be turned off by that question, instead of realizing that you have a brain on your shoulders, and that potential will be a potential no more. And that, is good riddance. You don't want to be shackled down with a good for nothing, close minded individual.

Re: asking certain questions

Tried and tested method? If this is your way of handling your rishta scenarios, I am actually concerned for any guys well being around you.

I thought be bypassed the stone ages? Clearly not.

Re: asking certain questions

agreed. I think the whole thing of making fake profiles is really creepy and I would be disturbed if I found out he was doing it to me. As long as I make my limits and expectations clear, he should get a fairly good idea whether we're "compatible"...I'm just gonna assume that he really IS one of the shareef guys because , as a friend of mine pointed out, I too have guy friends on fb and stuff that could be misconstrued as something more and I wouldn't want someone making those assumptions based on something dumb like fb. bahhh we'll see when/if he comes!

Re: asking certain questions

I was just comparing adding him onto a fake profile rather than adding him on the real profile since adding on real profile is not appropriate this time. I just said this when the idea of fb came up in the thread.

If you read my previous posts, you will notice that I was the one who advocated the idea of asking the guy directly but then people here would comment that the guy would not be telling the truth. The guy may or may not be telling the truth but the girl should observe him although what we observe is not true 100% and background checking will help to make the decision.
