Why is she always in my top 10 on friends list on Facebook?

[the comic]

There's this chick that I know who supposedly has a boyfriend (long distance). She's always nice to me, but I think she's like that to everyone (don't know but yeah). Well what I thought was really weird is for 3 months straight she has always appeared on the friend list thing to the right on facebook all the time. She'll sometimes be first, but she has always appeared on it, ALWAYS. Does that mean she's constantly looking up my profile?

It's all just pure coincidence. There is no specific reason why someone's profile appears first, second, third, etc. Facebook just randomly generates it and for some odd reason her profile is always on your top 10.

Based on what I heard, some of those people appearing on your friends list are those whom you recently interacted with on Facebook (example: that person liked your status or photo, that person commented on your post, etc). Other people appearing on the list are just randomly selected.
