What is Facebook Stalemate?
1.
A situation whereby two people know each other quite well, but not well enough to feel comfortable to "add as friend" on Facebook.
Both are unwilling to request the friendship in fear of being rejected or being thought of as weird. However, both would happily accept the other's request.
Therefore both remain on the other's suggestion feed on the homepage, until one of them plucks up the courage to request.
Guy (sat at home on computer) : "I can't add her, I've only spoken to her twice!"
Girl (on iphone) : "Should I add him? Or will he think I'm a desperate hoe?"
Guy : "shit its a facebook stalemate"
