should I add him as a friend on facebook? I want to but its a tough decision?

*shrug* Well, yeah, I think it's normal. As long as you don't think it will make him feel awkward, go for it. Besides, if either one of you has a lot of friends, can't you just delete the feed story and it can just be discreet?

Another thing I want to point out is that it sounds to me like he kind of looks up to you, and having been on his side of that kind of connection many times before, chances are fair that he might even want to add you but feels too shy about it. It might even make his day.

But anyway, given the FB friends I have, I think that a "friend" on Facebook has zero to do with how close you are to a person. I don't know about your school, but I'm Facebook friends with a lot of people just because I see them on the same campus. And furthermore, why would anyone tease you for being FB friends with an underclassman? That's just silly.
