A Snob and a Half

I realized I have been posting about food more than anything else.

This one is about something else. hehehe

Last night, I opened my e-mail and found a friendster invite from someone who is not familiar. I quickly logged on to my friendster account to see who it was. Sometimes, some of my friends use aliases when forming these accounts, but upon seeing the person's homepage, I realized that I do not know him. Perusing his profile, our paths would have never crossed. This is the nth time I have received an invite from someone I am not familiar with. I honestly feel flattered that they should take an interest in adding me as a contact. I am also amaze at how they would just click and add people they have not even seen. As a rule of thumb, I do not approve people I do not know. I am very cautious and old fashioned when meeting people. I do not chat with strangers. I do not add people I do not know to my contact list. I wonder if I am the one who is missing the point in the social networking scheme. Should it be that way? Is it really a means to get to know other people or just use it to keep in touch with family and friends from far away? Maybe I am just really a snob and a half.

People are searching... for a date, for a companion, for a sex chat, for sex itself, for lifetime partner. And when we click, we take a chance at life.

Maybe, hopefully, you're the one. Maybe he is the one, so unsolicited advice: give it a shot! you can tell if he isn't on first chatting :)

I react the same way too, when someone who I don't personally know adds me on my Friendster account. Sometimes, I ask them who they are.

But that is only for one account, as I have another account that is open to all. :)
