This is probably the most embarassing thing that's happened to me in a while and it's all because of Facebook and extremely bad luck. I matched up with a very attractive dude on a dating app. I expected him to lose interest soon after matching, but to my surprise he seemed to be super interested in me, and was extremely sweet. I had not had a connection this good in a long time.

The problem is that early on I had looked him up on FB, and several days later, my FB sent me one of those annoying pop up notifications where it suggested him as a friend - idk how FB even knows, everyone I look up gets suggested as a friend. The notification had two buttons, 'add friend' and 'decline', and I was busy tapping on my phone as it appeared, and I clicked 'add friend' by mistake. I was shocked, horrified, embarassed.... I quickly unadded. He added me an hour or so later, so he definitely saw the request.

I felt like throwing out my phone in anger. I hate FB and whoever designed their notifications. That aside, is there any way to salvage this? It looks super creepy that I looked him up on FB because his dating app hasn't given much info to make him identifiable.
