curious case of an fbb

fbb - facebook buddy

this fbb, ill call him 'marissa' (hehe) requested that i add him as a friend in fb a few weeks back. i took a look at the profile and liked what i saw, muscular, cute and very appealing, based on the 4 photos in his profile. i quickly approved and even wrote him a welcome message. (he was obviously new at fb, with only 6 friends then)

the following day, he replied to my message and that started a thread. that same afternoon, a friend, legal eagle, suddenly texted me 'do u kno marissa?' i smiled to myself and asked him why. "boss, may katawan. in-add ako. siya kaya eto?" i replied "sige, subukan mong i-meet." "ikaw na lang, cc. lagi naman ako."

that night, i checked out his fb profile again. suddenly, he had 60+ friends and we had like 6 friends in common! something tells me that he was picking from my friends.

the following day, another friend asks me about him. "do you know this marissa?" huwat??? his ok face and nice bod was getting him a lot of traffic!!! so i didnt know if i should take this guy seriously.

one day, we were both online and we started chatting marissa and cyberflirting. though at the back of my mind, i felt he was probably chatting with everybody else. i pursued the correspondence. he shows some wit. and sincerity.

a few days after, legal eagle confirms that marissa has also been chatting with him. but the chat took a weird turn. legal eagle has always doubted about marissa's identity. that he could possibly be a poser. and when legal eagle asked him his landline, suddenly there was no reply. and worse, marissa deleted his profile.

hmmm. but i chatted with him that night. and though i didnt push him hard to give me his number, he actually even gave me his address. and we had a nice, flirty chat. i didnt think he was a poser. and we were already talking about meeting up soon.

i've begun to actually give marissa a second look. from the way he was chatting, to the way he looked, to his zodiac sign (which was ultra-compatible with mine), i was beginning to look forward to chatting with him.

that was two weeks. and though ive been online and fb'ing, he was never online again. or at least i never saw him online again.

was he a poser? or was he just after some cyberflirting? or was he just not into me? ill never know, really. but you know how it easy in cyberspace. you never really know what you're getting.
