2 part question. Would a guy check out a girls Facebook profile even if he knows her?

[A Name]

I almost always check the Facebook profile of everyone I become friends with, male or female. That's just me though. Some people are too busy or they really don't care enough. I do it because I am interested in knowing a few things about every person I know, and it's interesting to see how different people set up their FB profiles.

The question of who should take the initiative between a male or a female is very difficult to answer, and it's basically what you're struggling with. The way I am able to add somebody is by finding an excuse to do so.

Let's be honest, you probably don't care too much about what other people think in this situation (even this guy) - you just feel the need to justify all of your actions. Fortunately for you, you have two excuses:

1. He's an old friend
2. You want to be friends with him so badly that you asked about it on Yahoo Answers



The answer is in plain sight imo: you should definitely request him as a friend.


To answer your other question: yes, it's very likely that he will look at your profile, especially since you were old friends and especially if he likes you.


By the way, if it helps: the thing I like most about a girl is when she shows interest in me and/or getting to know me. Sometimes girls I don't like will try to push it too far, but adding someone as a friend on Facebook is not pushing at all. This is why Facebook is popular in the first place imo.
