Thanks to Facebook, I now know that he is balding and has a pot belly.
I have pakkaued everyone on Fullon Bakwaas talking about him. I have given him weird nicknames and have blushed every time some one took his name. I have behaved @ work like a teenager with a crush. I have gone blank during presentations whenever he has walked into the room and have taken on projects just to be around him. On my first concall, unnerved by his presence, I have blurted out the same sentence multiple times, before he played the knight in a sparkling new suit and pressed the mute button (phone ka). I have whistled at him when I saw him at the mall (completely co-incidental) and have gone blank when he asked me what my plans for new year's were. I have saved the one official email where he wrote Dear Shanu, instead of the customary Hi Shanu. I was truly, madly, deeply smitten by him for 12 whole months.
Thanks to Facebook, I now know that he is married and his wife is expecting their first baby in December.
I first saw him singing at Not Just Jazz by the Bay. His silky voice levitated me to a completely different world. He was my type..tall, dark and handsome. With the face of an angel and a beautiful sexy voice, he was every girl's dream come true. I met him again at my friend's daughter's christening (six degrees of separation, anyone?) and boy, was he a delight to talk to. We danced the waltz and the jive, and I was truly, madly, deeply smitten by him. For 2 whole weeks.
Thanks to Facebook, I now know that he is gay.
We have been in a committed blogger relationship for close to 6 months. He has professed his undying love for me a zillion times in the comments section of Fullon. He writes poems for me, he helps me fix my blog templates. He is my ultimate Mako man.
Thanks to Facebook, I now know that he proclaims himself to be single. And flirts with PYTs.
Facebook has been responsible for single handedly ruining my crush life. I now Google/Facebook all my crushes before I get smitten. I have been crushless (No, its not a word, I just made that one up) for the last 1 month.
Thank you Facebook, I owe you one. (Not)

FB can be your friend or enemy, just depends on your perspective... Insteading of Googling/FBing your crushes, perhaps you should let people google/FB-sreach you... Life will be more interesting then? Lets start by knowing your real name, shall we :D
Damn FB ruined everything no ? :P
it doesn;t even let us imagine.. the truth is right in front of us all the freakin' time !
Love is hard to find in today's time but hang on who knows when you will meet your prince charming.
I enjoyed the post :)

@ Prasad
Welcome to Fullon.
The gay and the married guys are 2 different ppl. I have had a lot of crushes :P
Oh even I thought that the married guy is gay. Oh then the story ain't that sad :P
first rule of Social networking websites - never ever search your ex bf/crush's profile and torture yourself :)
@ Reema
Will rembr that :)
