Facebook friend suggestions?

I noticed a while back that I was getting friend suggestions of a man I never met , after further investigation I noticed that this man(another town) had 1 mutual friend in common. (my gf).

What would be the cause of this because later decovered something may of happened with this man.

Why my friend suggestion tho?

Would it mean at that time she was in contact with this guy in some way to get the suggestion ?

Confused how it all works

Facebook friend suggestions are usually based on friends you have in common with someone else (basically "friends of friends"). I regularly get suggestions for people I don't know, but who are friends with my husband, one of my kids or my other Facebook friends. I think the key for you is that this guy is a friend of your GF's. If you have questions about him, I would suggest asking her something like, "Hey, I got this friend suggestion for a guy who's a friend of yours. How do you know him?" It might be something as innocent as, "I met him at a business function and he friended me." Or, it might open up a discussion about something more suspicious. I would pose the question and see how she reacts.

Facebook friend suggestions happen for a few reasons. Yes,sometimes because you have mutual friends. But,also, because that person has viewed your profile,or you have viewed their's.

However, I noticed you said something may have happened with this man,and your girlfriend.

You should know what happened, if you are attempting reconciliation. Otherwise, you continue to live with a lying cheater. That never ends well for a BS.

Fire and water I said the exact thing and she said she didn't know him, but I said u r my mutual friend . Then she said o yh a doormen from ages ago

Doorman from a Building she used to live in or Doorman from a Club?

I was a doorman for some clubs in Saint Louis and no female ever attempted to add me to social media unless I had some sort of positive interaction with her at the door.

Mind you I have less than 50 friends on FB and have been had little change since I joined in 2008. The 2 FB adds I did get years ago from women while doing a Door job were deleted within a couple of months because it sticks in my craw when someone goes out of their way send me an FR and then becomes silent after doing so.

Some guys may keep those around for eye candy purposes on their profiles but you ever know.

As far as Mutual friend suggestions, I tend to get them only after someone has reacted to a comment I made on a thread, which is rare. I a sure here are other reasons but in my limited Social media experience that's really the only time I have ever had someone show up in suggestions.

I am so sorry sir,

I read your profile story after I posted the above reply...I should have read your profile first. Based on that I'd have to adjust my opinion to say she is full of crap.

My thoughts still a Yr on .

During my WW's A's I kept getting a friend suggestion on a particular guy I did not know. After Dday I discovered they were talking on messenger and had a ONS on a business trip.

Hellfire, I didn't realize it can be from someone viewing a profile. I have a former coworker from 20 years ago showing up as a suggestion, we have no mutual friends or contacts for each other. I found it strange that she would come up (often) with absolutely no ties.
