This is a really weird question, I know, and you're probably going to think I'm making a big deal over nothing. I was going out with this guy in a band, and we broke up in December. It was a bad break up and he was really bad to me. Anyway, in the time we went out (3 months) I became fairly good friends with the other two in the band. One in particular I really liked. I recently found out this one has left the band, and from what it sounds like it was under pretty bad circumstances. Anyway I recently found him on Facebook, and I really want to add him. However, I'm not sure if this would be weird? I really liked him and enjoyed speaking to him (as a friend) We go to the same college too, but I haven't seen him around. I haven't seen him since my ex and I broke up. I know it's only Facebook, and people add each other all the time there. I just don't want to make him uncomfortable and I can't decide.
People from my school who hate me in real life add me on facebook (I reject them because I know they aren't my friends), so this isn't as bad as adding someone you hate. You had no trouble with him. I don't think it would be weird.

Something like that.... then if he seems eager to continue the conversation, then CONTINUE it!! and try making jokes around him, it'll help ease up the awkwardness. :) [ MajikKat's advice column | Ask MajikKat A Question ]

It's what the website is for..
Add him. What's the worst that can happen? He won't accept your friend request? It's hardly the end of the world.
Stop making mountains out of molehills and add, add, add! Who knows, it may help you 2 get chattin' and become friends again. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

Therefore if you want anything to do with a future between you, and an honorable gentleman then you better not even think about adding him. [ JerZ's advice column | Ask JerZ A Question ]
