facebook poke, what do i do?
I just received a 'poke' on facebook, not just from anyone, but from an ex-girlfriend I went to college with. We dated the 1st half of 2009 and through the summer, at which point she broke it off because she felt that she didn't have the same type of feelings for me as I did for her. I was pretty upset about it for a while because it was my first serious relationship. Anyway, after we returned to campus in the Fall, I made some half-hearted attempts to get back with her by suggesting we hang out (mostly it was in my head hoping she would conclude she made a mistake, but that never happened), and it eventually turned into sporadic coffee dates to update our lives to each other. In the start of 2010, I met and got together with a new girl from my classes and while we've never officially defined anything, we have been spending time together ever since. I have not spoken to my ex, other than a couple short conversations online, in close to a year. I am studying abroad this term in Germany, and she is in England this term. We have not discussed trying to meet up. Her birthday was 3 days ago, I did not write 'happy birthday' on her facebook wall as I do not usually for anyone outside of my best friends. Considering we have not spoken in so long, I'm not sure what to interpret from the speechless communication of a facebook poke. Why a poke? Why not a facebook wall post 'hey, how have you been?' or an email or a message? Do I poke back? Do I ignore? Do I message back? Please help!

OMG it is just a poke. Poke her back, then hey whatever. Talk, or don't. You are totally overthinking.

Just poke her back. A poke doesn't mean anything.

A poke is a sweet little thing. Its a way of saying "hey" without having to. That is all. It could be flirtacious. Seems like you have some unfinished business with her, but don't pursue it right now, as you are seeing someone else. Poke back and keep poking if she responds. Its cute, but if you don't want to be "cute" with her, then just X the poke.

She probably poked you because you didn't wish her a happy birthday-lol...I wouldn't sweat it...don't poke back...
