Should I delete my friends from Facebook?

[The Quiet Otaku]

I have some friends on Facebook that we haven't talked to in almost 2 years. These people and I all used to hang out together (best friends), but we lost communication and it never picked up again. We live in a smaller town with a 50K population so we will run into each other every now and then. Things would be awkward if I delete them, then we run into each other you know? We share nothing in common either. I’m interested important matters in the world and they do is post photo’s of parties and alcohol.

I could always leave them as my friends... but it's meaningless.

What do you think?
