I just got sent a message by the husband of the author on Facebook.

Previously I made a topic asking for help in which GameSpot's users were essentially useless.

Anyway after I spent a bit more time than I wanted to learning how to deal with this Facebook thing, I sent a "friend invite" to the husband of the author I've been desperate to meet, as this year is the only time I'll be able to go to the States, for one last time.

He accepted my request and sent me a "hi how are you : ) " message.

Now that it's finally happening, I'm totally freezing up. I have no idea how I should respond, I don't want them to feel sorry for me or anything which is why I won't tell them my situation yet, and I don't know how to just befriend them since they've got their own lives.

How does one… as I mentioned I'm completely new to this whole social networking activity and don't know what it is that people do there.

Can you this time provide me with some help? Something to say, past hello and how do you do?

Make tonnes of groups, invite them to all of them. Post gifts from all games on to their page. The best way to make someone happy is to keep their news feed and profile page FULL with fun stuff.

[QUOTE="Razor-Lazor"]Eh, I'm feeling nice, so I'll do my best to help. Act normal. Get into a regular conversation, and casually bring up his wife being the author, and how you are desperate to meet her and impregnate her. There.UnamedThing

Isn't the creator of Facebook a guy named Tom or something? :?JIT93

I think your a little mixed up, she's not talking about the creator of Facebook. And Tom is the creator of Myspace.

[QUOTE="FragStains"]Since no one else will give you a serious answer, I guess I will. First, don't respond. Make him come to you looking to find out what you want. When he does, play it really cool like you couldn't be bothered with him. He'll be taken aback, it is then in which you proceed to spam him with marketplace links, "I got you an Ice Cream Cone hat!" badges, and notices that you cut down all of his tomatoes in Farmvile. His reaction will be utter disgust at first, but the complex assault with which you barraged him with will, in time, blossom into a friendly relationship. It is at this time, that you make your move. Travel under the cover of night to their chateau, and gently push open the window over the sink in the kitchen. Don't worry, the maids are asleep. Crawl down the hallway past the parlor. Be careful not to knock over the vase that is precariously perched on the table. Their bedroom is the fourth on the left. Quietly creep in, only after you've made sure to oil the bottom hinges which tends to stick a bit. He sleeps on the left, she is on the right if you are standing at the foot of the bed and are looking to the headboard. Slowly crawl until you get to the side of the bed where she rests. Gently insert your hand under the covers and begin tickling her violently in the frontal pelvic region. Girls are always ticklish there. When she screams and turns the light on, that is when you say, "How do you do? I think you are a fabulous author and your husband has been contacting me through Facebook and he invited me here to meet you. I hope it is not a bad time." Fin.ferrari2001
