Facebook questions and I need bisexual discussion topics

[derien]

Someone from my graduating year in high school wants to friend me on Facebook, and I have no idea who she is. Possibly if I could find my high school yearbook I could figure it out, but that's buried in the back of the closet. I remember hardly anyone from high school, honestly. A few people made an impression - I was either good friends with them or had a crush on them. :) So all I can tell about this girl is that she fits neither category. Most probably I have nothing at all in common with her besides going to the same high school. Is there a protocol for rejecting friend requests on Facebook? Should I just ignore it, or write back and admit I can't remember who she is? Either seems a little rude. And does she remember me, or is she just friending me because of that one thing in common? If she does remember me, why? I was pretty quiet and dull, as I recall.

Meanwhile I spent the last I don't know how long trying to sign up for a queer site, http://www.outinportlandmaine.com , because I thought I could get local queer news, only to find out that it's a dating site with an absolutely horrible interface and no local news - and 'regional' to them seems to be the entire U.S. What?

I have things to do, today, why do I get distracted by these things? Well, it's because I had just realized that since sometime early in August only 2 other people have posted anything to binne, and one was Wayne Bryant publicizing an event in Boston and the other was Ellesin, who responds to my posts occasionally. Otherwise it's been all derien all the time, and I'm getting sick of talking to myself. But I've got to keep trying in hopes that something will spark someone's interest. I thought maybe news would do the trick. If something doesn't change soon I may have to either put a bullet to the list's head or open it up for personals ads and sleazy come-ons, which have been strictly prohibited in order to encourage discussion. I need topics!

Some Facebook purists believe it's poor etiquette to turn down a request, but I say only friend people you're comfortable with friending.

The one request I turned down was someone from Dimension Jump that barely even said hello to me. I told him sorry I only add people I actually have talked with.

Paugh, I turn down people with shocking frequency.

Topic: Feelings on online dating sites? Are they queer-friendly?

Hah, good topic. But you can introduce it, too!

Yay, somebody else talked!!! \o/

I'm going to pause until possibly some time this afternoon before I reply to your post on binne, to give someone else a chance. I'm so sick of seeing my name being the only one who posts.
