Friending people on facebook with low amount of friends? (Help)?

[Richard]

I am creating my facebook account right now, and i really do not have many people at all that i can add right off the bat. As i go looking for people i do sort of know, i do not want to send them a request and have them see that i only have like 10 friends on facebook. I feel that they would probably laugh and think of me as an awkward unsociable person. In other words i feel that i would be making them feel as if he/she is one of the few people i actually know. Is this true? If so how can i make some facebook friends without posting to one of those add me groups?
No, i used to play a lot of multiplayer games, but not anymore and i do realize that was a great way to friend people, but now i don't play multiplayer video games anymore.

Add all the people you are close with nobody will care how Manny friends you have if they know you well enough they will accept it

everyone on facebook started with Zero friends - well, everyone except Mark Zuckerberg - is there an mmo rpg or other computer game you like to play? by hooking up with a guild is a great way to add a bunch of friends fast

Richard, just send a message (to the people you want to add) that you just started a F-B. (face-book) and you want to add them to your friend list, and send them the requests (also make sure it's the right person you want to add, I would think sometimes it is a person I know on F-B. but it's not that person.)
