Facebook: what exactly does 'poke' mean on facebook?


Question Posted Friday April 20 2012, 9:46 pm

okay so this is probably a really dumb question and it probably doesnt mean anything.. but ya never know..


but what exactly does 'poke' mean on facebook?

like when my friends and i poke eachother i know it's just to be dumb or something..

but my ex-boyfriend just poked me and we broke up 3 days ago. does that mean anything or am i just being really stupid? haha

when we broke up it didnt end bad & we were (are) both really upset about it

I bet he's just a bit messed up from it still, and poked you to see your reaction, because he misses you, or something else. There are a lot of possibilities, but I doubt it means "I've moved on"... you can be certain that he HASNT moved on, and is still thinking about you for sure.

I personally would poke him tomorrow...make him wait haha;)

It doesn't really mean one thing. It's all about the context.

Given the context of your break up, it probably means he wants to talk to you (I'm assuming you haven't really spoken in the past 3 days) but he is too chicken shit to admit it, so he did the least possible thing he could do (poke you on Facebook) so as to make the next step your problem and not put himself on the line too much.

If you want to talk to him, send him a message. If you don't, don't. If he really feels he needs to talk to you, he can pull his socks up and do better than a poke in my opinion.
