Bumped into an old friend today, we hung about together as kids, had a bit of a teenage romance that sort of thing. We've been fb friends since he requested me a couple of years ago (lots of mutual friends).
He asked how I was etc etc and we did the polite chit chat. He asked how many kids i'd got etc, where I was living...which I found strange as it's there on fb (not my address obviously, just general area). I laughed and said it was on fb, he said he rarely went on but he'd noticed I spent too much time on there (how? I rarely update my status). He asked if I was married, I told him I wasn't, he asked if I was engaged, I told him no. He looked surprised and asked "why?" I shrugged laughing and just said I never go out anywhere to meet anyone. The questioning went on for a while and it made for an uncomfortable exchange on my part.
Beginning to think there's something wrong with me. My life isn't very exciting granted. I've been out of work for a while due to redundancy, I dont have a social life as i'm the only single one of my friends and they just dont really go out anymore. So yes, I spend time on the internet. It's not ideal but it's the way things are at the moment so I try to be ok with it..I just think its a bit rude to be questioned about why things are they way they are, it felt very intrusive!
