Hello,
An ex girlfriend of mine sent me a text message last night asking about some photo's I took when we were an item.
I'm happy to let her have them but she wants me to contact her through facebok.
Now I have a facebook profile but I don't use it all that much and I don't really want to be drawn back into her world.
Is it possible for me to send the pictures to her facebook profile without being added as a "friend".
I asked her about email but she uses her work one and isn't allowed to recieve attachments.
Do I have no choice but to add her?
TIA
JaB

bloody woman... part of me just wants to tell her where to go but its not really my nature.
'allo Matey - long time no speak
Could you not just ask for her home address and post copies to her ? You know, the old fashioned way. I know you know how that works
But - am I being cynical here ?
She has access to facebook but does not have a personal email address ?? I find that a bit weird tbh. Maybe she is just using an excuse to get a link on FB
Strangely though, when I registered on FB I had to do it with my hotmail address as it would not accept my ntl address - I thought that was strange too.

Hello to you...
I think I've still got her address somewhere so yeah thats a possible as well. I don't know what her motives are TBH I suspect she just wants the pictures LOL
In fact I think thats what I'll do... probably easiest cos I think the pictures are archived away on DVD anway. so it would be easiest option anyway.
As for the whole email thing , don't know don't care, would have prefered not to have heard from her at all. There's a whole circle of people in her world that I'd rather not get involved with...
OP, I wouldn't go along with her FB request - I suspect that will bring you headaches you can do without. I'd tell her that if she hasn't got a home e-mail she can use, she can either open a Hotmail account or a GMX one - both are free & both accept attachments. If she's not prepared to do that, then either open an online storage account like Photobucket just so that you can upload the photos to there (don't use it for anything else) & tell her to download them from there or put the photos in the post to her. If none of that's OK with her, then it's likely she does have ulterior motives & will just have to do without them.
Exactly !
She can't want the photos THAT much and why should the OP be the one to make all the bloody concessions
Despite my earlier comment I don't actually have a problem with her being in touch, its more to do with the people around her.
mind you... I'm doing the 4 peaks challenge next summer so perhaps I could just see them all as extra potential sponsorship
Well there you go then - every cloud etc etc
'cept they'll probably all delete you when you start sending them requests for money.
Being asked to add to folks' virtual farms / gardens is tedious ad nauseum - asking for money is a complete no no
Can you do that? thats never even occurred to me!
Clearly I'm far too fundamentally honest
well you learn something new every day.
Brilliant Idea.
Would never have occurred to me either - but there is no reason not to - it's not like here on DS where you can only have one active ID.
I've told her she can search and add me a as a friend.
If she does that, I'll allow it, send the pictures and then delete her. That way no one will really get the chance to have a nose.
Or I'll send them via a DVD. which is about as far as I can be arsed to go.
I'll wait and see what she says / does
cheers everyone.
That's what I kind of thought. She was making things awfully difficult for someone who wants pics as a favour.
I don't think they do send them to you though, do they ? I think it is just that what they are doing shows up on your status updates.
Can you block just those bits from showing up ??
I don't want to stop seeing friends updates altogether - just their farms.
Why not put them on a USB stick, they're cheap enough off the high street now? And send the USB to her.
well she'll be out of luck there then... I don't really put much on facebook that isn't already public knowledge... in fact I very rarely use it hence the question in the first place.
Anyway, I've had 2nd thoughts, I'm not going to send the pictures. They're part of my past and have certain feelings attached to them, I don't want her displaying them to all and sundry.. it doesn't feel right to me.
Oooh ! They're not what might discreetly be called "life art" studies, are they ?
