Best approach

I seen a provider awhile back. Dumb me let the little head do the thinking which led me to use my real phone,dumb I know. But here's what my concern is; when I recently logged in to Facebook, there was the provider listed as someone I may know! I will assume that it had her real name and info there. I want to tell her that this happened for some reason, and that I believe this happened because of our 2 phones having communications. I'm concerned for her,since I believe she is probably unaware to this. So how could I inform/warn her of this without coming off as some kind of creep? Any suggestions welcomed and thanks!

Not very smart....


I just stay completely away from all social media. If my friends and family want to communicate they call 😋

First question to ask yourself are you married. If so it would be a good idea to tell her to back off if you think she might be stalking you. Mainly so you wife does not find out about what is going on. If your not married but think its kind of akward about whats going on just tell her to back off. I've been in your shoes before so its better to take care of it now than later.

When you are in a hole - stop digging. Stay out of the personal lives of VPs and request that they do the same. Do nothing. Forget about it.

There are countless ways that FaceBook can recommend friends. Their business model is to have people connected so they can sell market research, demographic data, and cater to you as an individual instead of as part of a large body of people. So it makes sense they will do anything they can to build people's connections. At this point if you have called anyone with your phone, allowed FB access to your contacts. been in proximity to another FB user who used the common phone numbers.. then you are suggested as a friend.
Sorry to say there in no way to avoid this shit other than delete your FB account.

Damn - I need to cut back.

Delete your phone number from the information for your FB account. Here's a link that will show you how:

absolutely never under any circumstance put your phone number in facebook or allow it access to your contacts.
