Should I add him on Facebook if we've never met...?

[Joanna]

So I've never met this guy but i've seen him on Facebook and just wanted to know whether or not I should send him a friend request.
I think he's really cute and would definitely like to be friends with him.
I'd also like to know if I do add him what steps do I take to them become friends with him?
Should I speak to him first and if so what should I say?
How do I get his attention?

well first off, you're expecting him to add you back. he will probably think you're some creepy girl and ignore you. first i would try to be friends with him in real life, therefore making it less weird that you're adding him on facebook.

It really depends. Do you have any mutual friends with him? I think that in the case of two people who have never met in person, you would have more of a chance of getting him to add him back if you had a few mutual friends. Also, is he in a place where you go to? Like, is he in the same school, workplace, etc.

If not, then chances are you shouldn't unless there is a slight chance he might know you as well. Facebook isn't exactly a dating website, so maybe you should check eHarmony. Or you could go get mutual friends, or move to the place he works/goes to school if you're that desperate. Or just give it a shot. Giving it a shot can't hurt that much, can it?
