Yes.

But I wonder if people can find out who's been reading about them.  Hi 5 has that " See who's being seing you" or something like that, it wouldn't be nice if they found out I've been checking about their miserable lives,hehehe!!!

@ X - wast that suppose to mean?

Here's an interesting article about that!  It actually cracked me up!

Facing facts on Facebook

Are you really as `over him' as you think?

Searching for all my ex-boyfriends wasn't actually the first thing I did when I joined Facebook. It came third, right behind No. 1: making myself feel extremely popular by adding as many friends as I could to my profile; and No. 2: looking up people I had long lost touch with but always wondered about.

I admit, it did occur to me that it might be a mistake, but I pushed the thought aside after all, this was just a harmless walk down memory lane! and set about searching for the guy I had a huge crush on in third-year university.

A few quick keystrokes later my crush was there ... and so was his baby. It hit me like a ton of bricks: my chances of ever being with this man were officially over.

I straightened up in my chair. What? Had I actually just had that thought? I hadn't seen Owen in years and even back when I knew him, we never dated; the most we ever shared was a drunken kiss. Yet my reaction to his fatherhood clearly indicated that I'd been holding out some kind of hope for a relationship with him. What was that all about?

Confused, I typed in another name. This time it was Paul, someone I dated for a long time. His profile popped up. Relationship status: in a relationship. In his photograph, Paul looked gorgeous even better than when we dated and had his arm around a beautiful brunette. I checked my feelings but had no twinge of wistfulness. It seemed that I was really over him.

"This is like virtual therapy," I thought, and pressed on.

The next name I entered was Mark's. He's a guy I met in my last year of university; a real sweetheart. Mark had been in love with me and was completely crushed when I didn't return his feelings. I always felt guilty about the pain I had inadvertently caused him and, although it was probably unnecessary, I had always been a bit worried about Mark. There he was on Facebook, married. "Yay!" I cheered, feeling a little lighter than I had a few minutes before.

Next, I searched for Sean, one of my more recent exes whom I hadn't seen since we broke up. Seeing his photograph inspired a little glumness, but not too much: I had really liked Sean but the split was mutual and amicable. His relationship status was single, which didn't surprise me: Sean had always been a real womanizer.

Then I noticed that I had the option of viewing his friend profile. I clicked the button and rocketed into reality. Half a dozen of my girlfriends were on the list. I felt hurt ... but why? Most of my girlfriends had been friends of Sean's for years before he and I ever met. Of course they would remain friends with him after we broke up! Still, I felt some unfounded sense of betrayal.

"Maybe I should focus on the future," I told myself. Earlier that week I had met a cute guy in the strangest place the Montreal Science Centre. He had asked for my number and seemed really happy when I gave it to him.

"Are you on Facebook?" he had asked. Now that I was, I searched for his name and after scanning through various false hits, I finally found him. In his photograph he was hiking some distant mountain range, looking just as cute as I remembered. I clicked his friends list. My heart sank. He had 144 friends catalogued and virtually all were hot young women.

I took a deep breath. There was one name I had been avoiding. He was the one great love of my life and the only man I had ever thought I could marry. Our breakup had been completely devastating and I had barely been in touch with him since. My fingers shook as I entered the name into the Facebook search box. I got up and made myself a coffee. I put on a load of laundry. I washed my breakfast dishes. Eventually, I came back to the computer and hit "search."

For the split second that the search took, my heart pounded. Then the following words appeared on the screen: "I've got nothing for you. Try a new search."

I exhaled shakily and logged out, my pulse still racing. Sometimes, I realized, it's just better not to know.

YOu have to say that anyway or Pri will murder you

So I have had some try and add me but I have not added them. My husband isn't on facebook but he wouldn't appreciate it. Actually I added one but we were like 17 when we dated so that does not count.

nope, I just don't really care.

it's funny when an ex actuelly tries to befriend you, I just block 'em , love that feature!

One found me when I first joined Facebook. I never accepted her as a friend cause the wifey would kill me, but I checked her profile to see what she looked like now and we just messaged eachother to catch up a bit.

Asides from that I haven't looked for anyone.
