That's What Friend Requests Are For

So, I get online this morning, and I discover that today, the day I am writing and posting this, mark my two year anniversary on Facebook.  In all honesty, I only joined it as a means for trying to drum up business for my store, Booknotes.  It hasn't helped that much, and I might to be needing it for too much longer, but that is a tale for another day.  It took me almost three months, give or take, to look for friends, but I finally reconnected with so many people that I had missed for so long.  It sometimes left me in an emotional mess, realizing just how much I had missed out on, but I eventually balanced everything out.  I rejected a few requests I should have kept.  I began playing way too many games, especially all the iterations of Candy Crush Saga.  I just won my second week in a row on the "Popsicle Planet" promotion.  Lately, I have been getting some strange, random friend requests.  In the past two weeks or so, I got two requests from random women, complete strangers.  They weren't connected to any of my friends, so I have no idea how they found me.  When I clicked on their pages, one had a close-up of her chest in a very tight top, while the other had her rear end suggestively pointed towards the camera, again in very revealing clothing.  Now, while I admit that I am single and technically looking and available, I really don't think I would want to meet a random stranger in this way, especially since I don't really know how to date.  (If anyone wants to teach me, I would be an eager apprentice/wingman.) Things got weirder this weekend.  Saturday morning, I played a quick match of Golf Clash against someone from Asia.  This is only a guess, as he had a cartoon character in his photo and his name used characters I couldn't read.  It may have been Korean.  He made a huge mistake, and he had to forfeit, right while I was putting for the win because there was no way he could catch up.  That night, I got a friend request from him.  At least, it could have been him.  I didn't look too closely at the pic and name at the time, but it was another person from Asia, so it could have been him.  Just yesterday, I got a request from a person whose only friends were business pages, no humans.  He seemed to be some sort of game company entity, if not an actual corporate member.  It almost goes without saying, but I rejected each of these requests.  Each of them seemed just a tad off, in one way or another.  I might not be the best at social media, but even I could tell that this might not be fully authentic.  Anyway, I am thinking about starting a new wave of friend requests only own.  There have been a few people I was thinking about asking, and this seems about the right time to do so.
