another problem on facebook is that it has a bad reputation for pervs trying to meet little girls and all that stuff, so trying to find a friend there is high risk. Who you are talking to may not be who you think they are.

Better to go to the library or even grocery store and meet people there...go to an event that is about something you are interested in. Find a club or something that does stuff you like, maybe an astronomy club or something. if you're trying to find a quick escapade for the night, go to a sleezy bar someplace, whatever.

The point is you will have much better luck face to face than on facebook.
