Facebook Friends... (Then:Feb 2008)

After working at sea for 6 years I had pretty much lost touch with all and everybody I ever used to know back in the UK. So faced with the prospect of moving to London I decided to throw myself into the new craze of "facebook" to renew old and make new aquaintances.... I stumble upon an App called "Meet New People". After clicking about a bit it soon becomes apparent that this was not in fact a site set up for business networking as I had first imagined but rather a way for people to pick up on facebook. Having never been remotely interested in internet dating I take the app out. But not before I receive a message from a tuxedo wearing adonis who sent me the following message

"Saw that you had checked out my profile and thought you might be sending me a hint to say hello. So whats your name?"

If only I had ignored it.....
