Facebook Acquaintances

In the two months that I’ve been in India, I’ve gotten no fewer than 50 friend requests and two love-poem-messages from completely random strangers (though half of them seem to have Shah Rukh Khan as their profile picture.) Why do Indian boys think that just because we live in the same city, we have something in common?

Okay, so we do have something in common. A city. But that’s it! That doesn’t make you a friend. It doesn’t even make you an acquaintance!

And there’s no way that many people look like SRK.

I’ve had Google+ for a while now, but after my initial adding-friends-to-my-circle binge, I’ve largely ignored it. But maybe I should give it another chance; at least on Google+ I would not get creeped on by random Indian boys. (I’d have to add them to a circle, haha)

  1. Unfortunately, even MORE creeper Indians are on Google+. It's worse because they add you and a bunch of your friends to their circles, so you receive a notification and see your friends as "friends in common," when they aren't REALLY your mutual friends. Because no one know these creepy Indians. :(

    BUT HANGING OUT ON GOOGLE+ IS FUN!!
