Face Time?

I was thinking about this on my drive to the work the other day, and perhaps I already know the answer.

I know plenty of girls who are guilty of Facebook stalking their guy/crush/date's pages to find out what they're up to, who's writing on their walls, pictures they post and/or are tagged in. I'm not going to say I haven't perused myself but usually (honestly) in a way like "hmm, I wonder what so and so is up to" not a daily or hourly log on to see or find out.  So this made me wonder if guys do the same thing?  Perhaps they do in that a friend of mine said, "Guys are really simple. The want to call you, they pick up the phone and do so.  They get to doing something else and forget that they had originally called you because now the game's on."

I remember running into a former flame and he asked how my birthday was, "Great! from what I remember," I said to him.  "Yeah, I saw your pictures.  Looks like a fun time."  Wait a minute? Why ask about my birthday if you just scope it out online.  Now some have asked why haven't blocked him from viewing my profile/pictures, and I don't need to. I'd rather you see me living life than thinking otherwise. ;)

Today, guy who started the whole Mancation, "liked" a photo on my account.  I thought, wow, I haven't talked to him in forever, he may or may not still be with the same girlfriend, and now I know he, too, occasionally checks out my page. In this case it prompted conversation, so I shot him a quick message to see how life is treating him. Isn't it ironic that he's suddenly single?
