Is there any way to see a private facebook profile?

[Kelsi Stephens]

I would really like to see a private facebook profile. If I 'friended' the person, they WOULD accept my request but if my significant other saw it, I would be in big trouble. So... is there any way to see it without friending them?

Why don't u set up a different Facebook, friend the person, keep your profile otherwise private then you can see their profile. Otherwise no you can't see a private profile unless that person sends u a friend request or a message, then apparently u can see some bits but not necessarily much

Make a second fb account and lurk around secretly. Sounds like you have some trust issues at home so best just make a second account,email and live a secret life on facebook and the interwebz
