Should I Ask a Guy out on Facebook?

Should I ask a guy out on Facebook? Why can’t you ask him in person the next time I see him? I can’t. I’ve never met him in person. Then I guess asking him out online is reasonable. Have you at least talked to him on the phone? Why would I bother with that? I can just send him a message on Facebook instead. Do you want to fall in love with someone you’ve never met? And then meet a fat, balding 50 year old who says you should stay with him because you fell in love with his true self? I checked out his web page, Googled him, and looked at his other social networking profiles Oh, really? Did you run a criminal background check while you’re at it? How would I do that? Ask for his Social Security Number and see if he gives it. Then you could run the background check on him. I can’t ask for that. All he’s asked for is- You do know scammers will try to get you to fall in love with them, then lend them money or give them gifts or invest in something. That’s usually a girl convincing guys that she wants to leave her country and get money to come out and see him, before pocketing the money and leaving him at the airport. I heard about those seven Nordic guys who met at the airport, all waiting for the same Asian girl who never came. She must have made out well with that … never mind. You should meet him in person before you get too involved. Fine! I’ll ask him out on Facebook and see if we can meet in person! Then you won’t be so paranoid about the guy! Meet somewhere public and don’t go anywhere alone with him. Is a fancy restaurant in downtown good enough for you? OK, but don’t go back to his apartment or hotel room or anything else stupid. Like asking him out on a date on Facebook?
