Yes today. Not sure if I contact them or not. As I'm in 'stealth' mode I'd be outing myself too.

We purchased something from Facebook market place once and then discovered them on here a few months later. They had a few kinks, you’d never have guessed.

No but I did receive a veri from someone who recognised me on a bus, saying I was definitely real and how they'd like to see me again, along with a message telling me they'd just been on the same bus as me (and gave the correct bus number)

I sat the whole bus journey with my headphones on and didn't even speak to anyone

In the song, the guy puts a message on lonely hearts column, gets one reply which was his other half. Turns out they were both looking for something new and it sparked a new interest between the couple.

Hopefully not in person, that's a massive no no and encroaching on their personal space.

They joined in face pic Friday. They didn’t grasp that you didn’t actually post it as your profile pic.....We will never post face pics publicly

Yes, I have seen people I recognise. I blocked the ones I don't find attractive.

The ones I *do* find attractive, I've left unblocked, but I also haven't contacted them. If they want to talk to me, I wouldn't mind, but I also assume that if they wanted me to know they were on here, they would have told me.

I've had a couple of friends in real life recognise me, but I knew they were into this, so no surprise.

Did have one creepy guy said he'd seen me walking the dog (I go out with my neighbour, it's her dog) so that was a bit worrying. He soon got blocked!

Not found anyone I know yet that I didn't think would be on here!

If they have a public face pic surely they are happy for everyone to know they are on here.

Yes, when I first joined.

I panicked, hid my profile, went offline for about a fortnight, gingerly came back on, changed my location and age and stuck to lurking in the forum for a month.

The one I recognised didn’t have her face on display. She wore a mask but it’s very clearly her. I recognised other clues like her necklace and even a very distinctive dress that she had worn.

It’s a hazard you kind of have to expect when putting face pics on here but I have a few people say they have seen me about.

The only really creepy one was an empty, silhouette profile messaging me telling me what I had been doing on my 2 hour train journey up to work in minute detail.

Yeah, a girl in work. I noticed her because she had put some photos up from a recent holiday that were the same as the ones she put on Facebook. She was married but on her profile she was looking for another woman, and in a way that suggested she was past the curious stage. She split up with her husband a couple of months later. Everyone was shocked but I told my wife I reckoned it was because she was gay. She didn't believe me and obviously I couldn't explain why I thought that. But shortly afterwards the girl came out. She's now happily married to another woman. I have never let on what I knew... Or saw

Walked past an absolute hottie on this site in my local park. To make things even more exciting, she was sucking on an ice-cream. Nearly walked into a tree.

I'm fairly certain some of my close neighbours are on here, because I recognized the view out of the window in a couple of their pics.

I messaged just to say hi, and say I thought we were local but looking for different things. They didn't confirm whether I was right or not about the location, but thanked me for the message and wished me good luck

Yes there is a good looking couple live very near me. We messaged a few times and talked about sharing lifts etc to socials and clubs. They then left Fabs but have returned but alas I cannot message their new profile because I’m too old.

I’ve seen her around a few times but wouldn’t approach randomly out of respect for private space and preferences.

She did relate a case of a Fabber that recognised her at the school gates who became a bit of a pest. Not cool

Yeah most of them, but I don't live in a densely populated area. It really doesn't mean anything to know and it isn't as if I would out anyone. There are a few who I have played with and many that I haven't, but mutually recognise. A nod and maybe a hi if you are queuing to get in the coop ect. No big deal.
