Ok people. For real now. If there's one faux pas that we should all strive to stay away from, it is trying to add a person as a friend on Facebook that you have NEVER MET. It does not matter that you have mutual friends. Face to face contact is REQUIRED and a formal introduction made. Until then... REFRAIN FROM HITTING THE "ADD AS A FRIEND" BUTTON. This ain't MySpace, people.
If you ignore this advice, be assured that you will cause confusion and potentially annoyance. Maybe you'll get accepted. You'll probably be rejected. If the latter happens for the love of God DO NOT try to add them as a friend again. Because now you have just crossed the threshold into creepy stalker territory and your well meaning intentions have now creeped the shit out of the person you hoped to friend in the first place. And really, do NOT send them messages such as the following:

Blessings.

Ok! I do understand. Hopefully some time then though I don't know where you usually hang out.
(True story, folks.)
WTF dude. I'm changing my locks and going to bed with a can of mace.
