Facebook etiquette.

Ok, 20+ years ago, I dated a girl for about 6 years. After we went our separate ways, I realized she was following me around for quite some time. kinda stalking from a distance. Since then, we both have gotten married and have families of our own. recently, she appeared on Facebook and my mom has accepted her friend request.  She sent me one, but I have yet to respond either way.

What is the proper etiquette for this situation?
Do I.....

1. ignore her request

2. un-friend my mom for getting me in this awkward situation

3. accept her request so I don't come off as an ass

Before you make a decision either way, send her a private message and ask her why she wants to to be facebook friends. It may be that she simply wants to be friends and nothing more. You might explain to her that in your current marrital situation you feel uncomfortable with it.

I think I would have to go with number 1 as well. Ex's create problems, no matter what. I am not a member of Facebook, but I  think if I was and my wife saw that I accepted a friend request from an ex-girlfriend (especially one whom I was serious with) she would probably get kinda upset. And the whole stalking thing dosen't help either LOL. Stay away!
FOXLESS!!

For all I know, she just wants to be friends. We share about 150 friends from High school ..My wife says she doesn't care. She's irish, and would kick her ass all the way to another city if she did anything stupid.. and that's before she drinks. lol

I like your wife already! lol

I'm thinking if it bothers you enough to post about it, you should probably ignore it. I've definately gone mia from myspace in the past due to stalkers, it's not fun and I highly doubt you want the complication. It very well could be just a friend thing but with the past stalking I'd probably be a little wary...

Well, I kinda already know what I'm gonna do... just thought I would see what others would do in the same situation. Maybe there's something I didn't think of. Due to the friends we both know, our paths are going to cross whether I friend her or not.

Ignore her ass then block her... Then have a heart to heart chat with your Mom for her to remove her as well...  Then if Mom doesn't remove her then you will at least have her blocked and you will not be subjected to any of her postings.

+1 for an "ignore".

If she sends another request, then a block may be in order..

On a somewhat related note, I had a guy try to add me several times (more than 5, freaky..)
We had 2 mutual friends, one of those was some someone I didn't really know...every time I ignored the request, he'd send it again. Finally blocked him...I don't do so well with the chasing/stalking stuff...

(If it had been some hot chick, mighta been a different story, lol. j/k)
