Is it acceptable to ask someone you just met, to add them to facebook?

I thought it would be ok. The nurse from the baby program that I go to seems to really like me and I know from something she said that she is on facebook. Since I have only seen her 3 times so far in a group setting, I asked her if it would be alright. She said I could, but than I thought that I might have put her on the spot.. how could she say no? Should I have not asked?

yes it is acceptable to ask someone you just met to add them to facebook because that way you can get to now them better and its only away of comunication so its like asking them for their phone number or e-mail adress.

It's no big deal. You don't have to have gone to war together to be facebook buddies. And besides, at least you asked. I don't think you're putting her on the spot at all. Now, if you had just looked up her name and then sent her a friend request, that might be a little different. But I think you handled it well, and were very polite.

Not really. Facebook and similar sites are designed mostly for networking with friends, not acquaitances or people you only know professionally. It might seem like you just want to add her so you can have lots of friends on your profile, and seem popular, rather than wanting to preserve a unique relationship with her. It's hard for her to say no to such an offer.

Be polite and don't follow up on your suggestion. Let her link to you if she's interested.

just add who u like...if they dont want u they wont add you...

It is a wise idea to not extend such an invitation to someone you have just met. However, if you feel that you had made a very strong connection, perhaps you could send a private message via facebook in lieu of a friend invitation? Myspace has this option - you can correspond with someone via Myspace without actually being on their friend list. This is a good way to let the other person know you are interested, and if they are also interested, they can be the one to take the initiative. That way, no feelings are hurt and no awkward situations are created.
