Have you ever been poked on Facebook? What does it mean when someone pokes you? What did you when you got a notification of a poke?

@LadyDuck No, I don't think so, unless they were flirting with us and now they think we were flirting with them.

I am not on facebook but my husband is and there is someone on there that pokes him all day long. He pokes them back only once.

They either really like him or they want to be a pest.

I don't 'do' FB but I've read the comments. It sounds funny to me - poking someone.

I'll have to keep reading all the comments before I get to bed to get to the funny ones. I noticed that others had poked me but I never noticed till this one today. I poked back and am curious if there is anymore to it.

It is like someone nudging you to communicate with them, and to let you know they are thinking of you.

Yes, now I understand that. It turned out it was someone who thought I was someone else. She thought she knew me but she was mistaken.

Probably the the best thing to do, unless it's a close friend.

I think it's just like saying hello Bach, the computer picks you out so many times.

Actually, she had sent me two messages but I did not see them. She thought I was someone else but I was not.

I get notifications of pokes but I don't know what it means. I ignore it.

I noticed this poke and was curious as I don't know what the meaning is either.

People poke to get someone's attention. It's not a bad thing. Yes, I've been poked several times before. You'll receive a notification when someone pokes you. I just poke them back or chat with them.

Thanks, that's what I did. I poked them back and let's see if it goes any further.
