Someone was stalking my profile once. They accidentally hit 'add friend' and then cancelled it.

Too late my friend, too late. :colonhash:

haha! someone did that to me as well only for me to ask who they were and them to respond with "thought u were someone else.".
I deactivated my profile after accidentally adding somebody. Hoping they don't get email notifications from Facebook...

I may or not occasionally check my ex's profile. But then again, most girls do.
How does anyone know that they are being stalked on fb.

agreed. nearly everyone stalks everyone on facebook, its become the norm to do so I think. and I have done that before, when I was 16, unfortunately the guy asked me about it the week after :colondollar:

That could be a possibility but if you put your stuff on private then only your friends could view your profile.

Anyway, this does not really bother me, if people want to stalk me on fb then that's their issue, its not like I have posted anything I don't want people to see.

Its hardly stalking if your profile is open for everyone to see.

good point, a lot of the girls from my school keep their profile public so anyone can see what they post. kind of sad really
Then it wouldn't be stalking now, would it? It would be more appropriate to call it "open voyeurism", maybe?

perhaps some guys may call it that?

Ugh. I'd leave the country.
There's actually an application that shows you your top 3 stalkers on Facebook :lol:

I've looked in to that! turned out to be completely false as fb says that it would breach confidentiality or something a long them lines. anyway, my top 3 stalkers were in fact an old Cuban lady, a 45 year old Bengali man and a 13 year old boy in Plymouth. of course-no mutual friends :lol:
