On Facebook, I am friends with a young adult woman who I know from Graduate School. However, I feel at times that this person has been "ignoring" me. Some examples include:

Commenting on and/or liking other people's comments to this person's status messages other than my own.
Commenting on and/or liking other people's status messages or posts other than my own.
Not being invited to and/or wanting to hang out with her in a social setting outside of organized group events (such as ones planned by a university group I belong to).

Has anybody other than me experienced this? And is there is anything that you believe that I could do done to deal with the situation? I have un-friended this person twice, only for her to want to be friends with me on Facebook. I am under the impression that this person wants to be friends with me, but also wants to limit the amount of social interaction between us.

it is far better to be ignored, than to be paid attention for all the wrong reasons.

Facebook friends =/= real life friends

i find it to be just a compliment, far be it, at times a surprise that certain fb friends like comments coming off of my own status updates. hey at least they saw what i wrote but liked something better written from someone else. its silly s**t so i dont take fb seriously. people should get that when i dont have random drunk pics or food im eating or things im looking at at the moment and then put a silly little vague yet typically positive lame ass comment to go with the not very important lame as s**t picture that the fb cultists like to share with eachother. i get it. its a f*****g good steak dinner or an awesome dessert at some high price restaurant or you saw a cool silly sign along the road and laughed hysterically and want all your cultists to laugh with you as they are laying their asses on their couch watching tv. whoopdee f*****g do s**t. Facebook is the modern day form of free crack for those "mature" adults outthere and for all the teenage douchebags and college asshats to gloat over stupid s**t that no one gave a flying f**k about 10 f*****g years ago! but to say that to the fb cultists, will just be guilt and shame among those among us who still have a f*****g brain and actually like to give a f**k about something other than the self-centered activities of others, even random f*****g strangers who we facebooked after getting shit-faced one night 6 months ago at a random party and will probably never f*****g see again! but hey that makes my total of fb friends almost to 700! im so loved! f*****g BS is what fb stands for. bazinga!
