Many people have hundreds of facebook friends, but how many of these friends do you see face to face each week. Of course I know that you can have real friends that you don't see each week due to time schedules, location ect..

Hello tabatha1989!!! So far I have about 240 friends in my facebook friends list. But like you said, I don't have any real acquaintance with many of them. I think I don't have face to face contact with the 40% of my friends list haha...I keep getting friend request and sometimes I also send the friend request and so the number increased and still increasing. But I really have many friends in real life too, that's why also my number of friends in face book is high. I am still waiting for lot of friends still remaining to join the facebook, that will even rise my friend number. I am always happy when a person of real acquaintance sends me the friend request than the unknown ones sending me the request... Happy mylotting...

Dear tabatha1989, Hi, very interesting topic and very 'in thing' I do have a facebook to locate my friends. I normally see their photos and their latest updates and what the rest of our networking friends are doing! Most of them are my ex school mates! This is the way we keep in touch besides the normal emails. But lately with myLotting, I hardly enter Facebook...hmmm The real person from facebook that I can actually face to face will be my sister and one of my friend; we meet on Sunday at church service - once in a week... Thanks and do keep in touch!

Hi Iriene thanks for replying and I hope your well. :-) Yes at least 20 of my facebook friends are girls from highschool. The strange thing is when I get requests from girls I hardly knew. But its still nice to see how everyone is doing, some are travelling overseas, others working and one is even married.

The only one of my facebook friends that I have seen this week is my son. It varies from week to week though. I normally don't see but a few of them though. Most of them are friends and family that don't live close by.

Wow, quite impressive. I know all my facebook friends in person too but only see a handful of them each week as we all have our own busy schedules. I too use facebook to connect with friends and family who dont live close by infact many of them live half way across the world.

I see a good amount of them in person each week. But most of my friends on facebook are childhood friends that live back in my hometown. I cant see those friends every week, but the local ones I usually try to see often.

Yes there are so many people on my facebook list that I wouldn't be able to communicate with easily if it werent for facebook.
