Ex's finding you on Facebook?

[TEAMRICO]

I just recently opened a FB account because , recently because I am anti-social but an old Army buddy passed away and I was urged to get one to contact others etc.
Well I had people find me like a good friend from High School and family members etc.
Well my nightmare(not really), just knew it would happen eventually, an old Ex from High School tried to send a friend request!
Debated it out of curiosity for a bit then decided to go with the block route.
Nice to see her and she looks like she did back in the 80's but I dont even want to find out more. That means she must have been actively looking for me! Welllll who could blame her. One taste of this guys charm and the memories linger!!
Anyone else run into this situation?

Yeah happens all too often. FB is the new eHarmony! LMAO

Nope, I like the privacy functions. You can control what people see. I've had a few ex's try to contact me, but just remember, "they are ex's for a reason"!

Besides, I'm HAPPILY married to a wonderful woman now, so why would I even want to talk to an "old flame" or bring up past relationships? I know I'd be mad/dissapointed/etc is she friended a past boyfriend.

I do have a FB account but no face on it, no one knows who I am. Cept my family.

Single greatest thing I ever did is to delete my FB account.

And you can't just quit using it or "disable" it, you have to jump through some annoying hoops to actually DELETE your account.

I've never used FB since they do make it difficult to protect privacy. A fellow at my company had a talking to since he trash talked work and thought he'd blocked it but hadn't.

I'm a private person and prefer to let people know about me as I see fit, not broadcast it to the world. My wife joined FB to keep in touch with her kids and immediately had some old boyfriends wanting to be 'friends'.

I might have to join one day but if so I'll lie like hell, home schooled, home colleged, unemployed and so on.

I've no desire to "Facebook" or "Twitter". People from my past are in my past for reason and I have no desire to know them. Even people I went to school with etc.
Don't care where you have been.
Don't care what job you have.
Don't care who you married/divorced.
Don't care how many kids you have.

Leave me the hell alone!

Both my kids have FB and it causes them nothing but problems with girlfriends and such. My youngest had a girlfriend whose dad looked at his FB and forbid the girl to see him after reading lyrics my kid had from a song on there.
Stupid.
Not to mention prospective and current employers checking up on employees personal lives on FB.
I just don't understand why people feel the need to put their life out on the web like that. Do we not get enough attention in our day to day life so we get home and plaster the days events and lives online?
Pathetic.
