I lost my friends cause i dont use facebook?

[Richard]

Sorry - this does not make any sense - if you are too shy to start using facebook how is it you are bearing your soul on here ?
I have 4 people on facebook who are the ones I really want to share things with and 60 who are on my email contacts and a few on friendsreunited ( from school).
i get loads of requests to friend people I do not know but what I would say to them ?
I value my close friends where I can just pop in to spend time and a drink but it is great to strike up a conversation in the street or shop with a complete stranger.
In other words friendship is not measured by the number of people you collected on Facebook
You seem to be getting on fine - stop worrying
