The Age Old Question

Age being if you are not over the age of 33 because that is what I like to consider the approps age cut-off for Facebook. Why 33? Because I am too close to 30 yet it is still not 35 which is too close to 40. Although I know and care about a few violators of that "DW enacted law."

I got poked. Who pokes? Before this I did not know of anyone who pokes. Poking is for the kids I say.

Problem is this: I actually like this poker so I dont want to be rude and not poke back. But can people see on their home page updates that I poked back? Because if so that is embarassing on a few levels.

So my thought process has now gone to this: I can write a wall post and say something along the lines of "ha did you poke me? I didnt know people poked." Well not that because that is lame but something along those lines. But is that offensive because I am clearly calling him out on the dorky move of the poke?

This technological era of friendship is really throwing me off kilter. Also, I cant tell when he poked. It doesnt give a time on FB for BB. What the. Terrible. Did he poke yesterday and I am already rude?

How do I respond!? I am making too big of a deal of this?! This is what happens when you poke!!

Worst.

Agreeing with the awkwardness of the poke. I think its funny to randomly poke friends that will know you are joking. It is NOT okay to poke ppl you are interested in and don't know very well. It leaves an awkward sitchu for everyone involved.

Also, FYI, no one can see the poke cept you!
