Friends on Facebook?

Do you care whether your boyfriend/husband adds people of the opposite sex whom they don’t know? Particularly people from the “people you may know” section - usually with mutual friends but they don’t know each other personally & have never met.

Situation: my boyfriend is v honest with me & let’s me know of most situations where he’s been hit on & I do the same bc he likes it this way. Today, he sent me screenshots of a girl that messaged him on Facebook. She started the conversation with asking why he added her & then went on to say he’s attractive & asking questions to get to know him better. (How old he is, where he moved to, how often does he visit home). After she started commenting on how he looks, he quit replying.

My issue: he added her from “people you may know” for no other reason than she popped up there. IMO, it makes sense that she would message him to figure out why bc they had never met which just opens the door for her to hit on him.

I never add people I’ve never met anymore. Maybe in middle & high school but we’re both adults now (20 & 24) & I don’t see the need for more friends you’ll never interact with.

I told him I don’t care if he texts or messages people of the opposite sex if you’re already friends. But I don’t think you need to make more friends of the opposite sex, on Facebook no less. He doesn’t see my point. He says “it’s just an add”.

Am I overreacting? Do I make sense at all?

Sorry if my wording is not inclusionary to all genders & sexual orientations! I wana hear from you too!
