What does it mean if an unknown guy sends a Facebook friend request?

There's this guy I only know of but I never met him! He sent me a friend request an I accepted it! So just to make conversation I asked him if we have met before an he said no but he's seen me at my job before! Does this mean he likes me an wants to get to kno me more and better?

It means he is creepy and is one of those guys who uses Facebook as a dating site. Seriously, I have had so many friend requests from people I don't know. I once added a few and the guys start out sending either regular messages or flirty ones. Then they work into getting sexual, then I just end up deleting them.

Before I figured out the security settings for Facebook (this is going way back) I got the odd random message from a random guy. I would get some pretty sexually charged messages :S I hate getting them. Like some of the guys will still send you ridiculous stuff, even if it's clear you are already seeing someone!

Facebook is NOT a dating site. There are plenty of free dating sites out there that can be used to find dates or whatever. Yet there are still people who do this on Facebook!

I also can't believe that people actually add the random people. I always send a message to find out who they are. But I don't accept them anymore if I don't know them (most of the people are mutual friends of friends, so I added them thinking maybe I met them at some point, and I was like 15 at the time). Now I am older and wiser to all this stuff. I don't want them having access to my pictures or anything. There are some creepy people out there!

It means he's creepy and you shouldn't have accepted. I can't believe guys actually add random girls and, what's even more believable, I can't believe the girls accept. If you want a guy who somehow figures out your first and last name to find you on 'Facebook' without you knowing, go for it.

He's a friendly person, if he's one of those people that have like 700+ friends than he's just friendly...don't flatter yourself
