Can you be Facebook friends with someone who doesn’t share the same feelings as you? In the world of social media, what are the rules for kicking the guys who you screw out of your life?
Say I had been seeing this particular guy, who happened to say all of those perfect things that make you actually like him…weird, right? So, then you start to fall, you ask him what he was looking for and he answers “Casual Sex.” Say I might have been a little hurt by that, say I might have gone on two dates with two different guys that weekend. Say I then started sleeping with said causal sex guy. Worst part? It wasn’t even on my terms.
Why is it that when everything goes down it’s not “P.C.” to defriend someone on Facebook? Um, I’m sorry but I don’t want to see that you are dating someone else, or just “nailed some hot chick.” I know real classy. I’m all set with not ever seeing another update via Marky Z’s network about you.
So what does that say about me? Does it mean I’m immature because I don’t want to be public friends with a twit? Or does it mean that I’m immature because now I know he has no way of reading this blog post about him. I mean, if he was real.
I guess that leaves the question, can you defriend someone on Facebook without it coming back to haunt you?
I don’t think there should be any stigma to defriending people. I tend to defriend people who after a year have never replied to anything I have said to them, and have not contacted me at all either. Others defriend for various reasons.
Personally, I think it’s nice if you can give a reason for defriending someone, but if you can’t, or someone has been a totally ass to you, there isn’t anything in the world that should keep them on your facebook. Life is hard enough with the people we can’t avoid.
I quite like the style of your writing. Funny way to look at unfriending. Go for it is what I say!
