How do you date on Facebook? I barely ever use it these days, but I would never connect with strangers on there.

Friend randoms and get to know them over time through public wall interactions; switch to DMs if things are clicking

I've sent thousands of FB friend requests to strangers suggested by the algo; the vast majority accept. I have met some of my favorite people in the world this way. Also some huge assholes/crazies, of course. Sometimes they are the same people

Why would you want a complete stranger to see all your personal stuff?
