Not sure where you're from, but meeting and dating people on Facebook is extremely common and normal in US

How does that work? You can't message someone you're not friends with can you?

Here it's common to ask a girl/boy for their Facebook once you have met, but meeting someone on Facebook seems difficult. Would you do it through a group?

> You can't message someone you're not friends with can you?

Yes you can. I don't have any 'friends' on Facebook but have a long list of Messenger contacts and groups.

That's probably more useful information to Facebook than some nebulous graph of people I vaguely know. Messenger contacts are those with whom I actively engage.

People just add mutual friends who look cute maybe at thw recommendation of a friend, they start messenging each other, boy asks girl out, rest you can use imagination

Safer for a girl than meeting a rando off tinder or okc in terms of online dating

My post says where I live, and for younger people that might be the case too, I wouldn't know. But then how do you meet new people and what does the new dating feature add?

It literally says it in the comment: south of Spain. As someone from the east of Spain I totally agree with tluyben2 experience

No shit sherlock, I’m pointing out that Spain, a small market, is not representative of everything

Edit: should also point out you might just be a neckbeard or fogey and may be unaware of your more socially aware fellow spaniards using Facebook to date
