However, Facebook is also infamous for pointing out its cyber stalkers and if you are not careful, you can fall into some common Facebook traps.
1. Cyber Creeping Too Much
So we have all cyber creeped our dating prospects. It`s only natural to do a little research on the person you plan to date. Sure, it may seem harmless, however the chances of you finding something you don`t want to see are very high if you`re digging for dirt. You see pictures of them with their exes or an innocent wall post that can be misconstrued into something it`s not. You don`t want to ask them about who the person is in their photos because that would probably scare them off. The best thing to do is send a friend request and just simply check out their martial status. That is all you really need to know about the object of your affections before you start dating them.
2. Finding Out Too Much Information
If you are constantly creeping on your prospect`s Facebook page, don`t be surprised to do a lot of acting when they give you personal information about them you already sought out on their profile pages and walls. Just like a highly anticipated film, it`s best not to spoil all the good parts before diving into the experience. If you know everything there is to know about your crush beforehand, you risk the chance of losing the chemistry you are trying to build with them.
3. Believing False Information
Being misled isn`t a huge problem on Facebook as it is on actual free dating websites. That being said, everybody creates profiles that display ourselves in the most positive way. Although, sometimes people have a tendency to lie about their martial statuses online. Before sending out a friend request, it`s best to go on real-life dates before you interact over the net. You should really get to know this person and being online allows those to be whoever they please.
