Okay, I am Going to Ask This Question...? - lisa - 04-08-2014 09:11 PM
And this is one of those stupid questions that you can obsess about and really want to know the answer but you're embarrassed to ask real people. Okay, so this old friend from HS poked me. I went to poke him back when I noticed that Facebook has a list of suggested pokes. My number one friend that Facebook suggests I poke is the guy I have a crush on...he's the only friend whose profile I actually bother visiting, just in case I missed something. (cringe, turn red). The other names on the list are people I never visit, but they occasionally like/comment on my statuses. The crush likes/comments rarely. So, my question is...is he there because he's also looking at my profile? I would think so, because why would Facebook suggest I poke someone whose profile I already visit all the time...like, why would I need a suggestion? I'm thinking they would suggest people who would like it if I poked them, correct? I'm probably overthinking this, I know.

No it is suggest because you visit his profile frequently. That is how facebook's algorithm for poking works. Just like the suggested messaging, It decides which friends you used to talk to must but don't talk to any more and suggests you message them.
