|A GChat on Poking| SWS2.1: hey AB: hey there what's up SWS2.1: facebook question. someone poked me AB: yup? hahahaha nice SWS2.1: if i click poke back. does that happen automatically or does something come up with options? AB: you have to say "yes" when it asks if you want to poke that person. in case you accidentally do. would you like to practice on me? SWS2.1: sure, poke me. also, i'm not sure what the purpose of this is? it's some guy i don't know. at least, i don't think i know him AB: it is a flirty move. just kinda a, "i see you... i noticed you.... notice me too" SWS2.1: hmm... whenever i've been poked in the past (only twice before), i just messaged the guy directly and he's never responded back AB: oh weird SWS2.1: plus, lately, i've had a few accidental friendings and when i message people asking who they are they are like, "who are you? why are you asking me who i am?" and i say, "you friended me" and they are like, "oh, that must have been an accident." AB: ohh weirddd SWS2.1: so i'm never sure whenever someone i don't know contacts me on facebook what i'm supposed to do with it AB: yeah sometimes people poke from other peoples profiles i guess SWS2.1: and i'm kinda a jackass so i'm like, "i don't know you = i won't accept your friend request." AB: haha whoa! yeah you're feisty SWS2.1: i see. oh, i like your pic! AB: haha thanks i'm standing on a pool. like they cover it at night when it turns into a bar area SWS2.1: does it make sense to poke back and send a message? or no message at all AB: i would just poke back SWS2.1: i mean, i guess my concern is that i've never poked anyone. like, i've never initiated it and i'd rather not poke someone who's like, "who the hell are you?" but i supposed ultimately it doesn't matter does it? AB: hahahahahahaha that is so funny. youre analyzing too much SWS2.1: well there are few things i hate more than looking like a dumbass AB: ok i gotta run down to dinner. haha you wont look dumb. poking is fun :) haha i got your poke. i didnt realize we got emails for pokes SWS2.1: that makes it worse. 'cause then if it is by accident someone is going to get an email and have to go look. whatever, i'll just do it. (a large part of the reason why i've never "poked" any gay i found attractive on fbook is that 1) i never browse it for gay single guys and 2) 10 years of pretty much non stop singleness convinces me that few would be into me and 3) gays are bitches and if i poke someone who is like, "ew" i really honestly believe nothing would stop him from pointing me out to his friends when they come over to his apt to hang out or pointing me out if he sees me on the street and recognizes me.) okay, i poked back. now i feel dirty and immature.
