Why not introduce yourself and tell the person you've added that you've done so? If not, it's kind of weird because it leaves that person wondering who you are, why you found them interesting, etc. Don't you think?

I talked to the person for a but and decided that they were someone whose journal I wanted to look at frequently. Boom...they where added to my friends list and the person was nice enough to add me back.

because I'm bad at making the first move.

I'm hoping they'll just notice me being creepy from across the room.

It's like walking down the street and acknowledging people, how "well" do you have to know them before it is appropriate to give them the proverbial "nod"?

Yeah, except when you run into the person on the boards, nobody has to awkwardly avert eye-contact without appearing to do so.

I think it's a great idea to tell someone when you add them to your friends list. The worst case scenario is, they ignore you. The best case would be them offering to rush right over to where you are to administer a tongue bath. (*hint* *hint*)

so if you comment in someones journal on a regular basis, is it ok to add them as a friend?? what if they dont want you for a friend?? what if they dont even want you to read their journal?? what if your too insecure or shy to even post in someones journal??

I usualy drop them a line if they seem reponsive to me then I put them on my friends list.
I clicked my "Friend Of" button the other day, and I spawned three new ones that don't make comments anywhere, don't have any jornal entrys, but have a friends of list a mile long.

Maxx: It's hard to NOT notice you being creepy from across the room. And send back that damn reply card if you haven't already!

god, I'm such a dork...
Before I started posting on sg I imagined that online communities would be the kind of place where the anonymity would mean I could be someone I'm not really (or at least unitl I've had half a bottle of wine); witty, chatty, funny, confident. All of that..
but now I realise that I'm just me. Still a bit unsure of opening up too quickly or presuming to be someone's friend after a couple of posts.
but damn, everyone is soo friendly. its' great.
kiss
think I'm going to start being a bit more proactive maybe. wish me luck.

I usually ask first, unless I see that I'm already on theirs. Then I figure the precedent for stalking has already taken place.

If we've bantered back and forth on the boards and then continued it through journals a few times, I'll generally add people. I check my "friend of" every few days to see who added me, and if I deem them worthy, I add them. wink
