Facebook Etiquette

The definition of what is acceptable protocol when using Facebook, specifically whether or not it is acceptable to ask someone out through this forum or if that would be perceived as stalking and creepy. This relates to someone you have not yet met properly.
Facebook Etiquette: hypothetical situation as follows: guy meets girl but has minimal opportunity to communicate since the meeting point thus far has been in a loud bar, albeit a top, top place! Girl has a particularly gorgeous smile! Guy takes matters into his own hands and plans a surprise delivery of flowers and a package to said bar during a charity event (is this poor timing?) Guy & girl become FB friends. Is it then acceptable protocol to pursue further contact via FB or should they wait until the next chance encounter at the noisy bar?

Consensus is: Nothing ventured, nothing gained, & Life is too short. ***This is contingent upon girl not being easily offended & a tad on the adventurous side.

I made a faceplant last week and my bestfriend decided it was a facebook moment. Now people make fun of me for it!

Facebook pout

An annoying and vaguely negative comment posted as a Facebook status update whose purpose is to let everyone know that the poster is upset about something, and to gather attention. It is the online adult equivalent of a child pouting. The post does not specify what the user is upset about. It is an attention-seeking move. If someone is silly enough to ask what the problem is, the original poster will not answer directly.
Facebook User 1: "I just don't know why I even bother..."
Facebook User 2: "What's the matter, Facebook User 1?"
Facebook User 1: ":-("
Facebook User 2: "Facebook User 1, what's the matter, pumpkin?"
Facebook User 1: "People are just like always the same"
Facebook User 3: "It's just a Facebook pout"

Facebook funeral

Finding out everything you wanted to know about someone and more after befriending them on Facebook. Spoiling all motivation to know them in more depth.
He/ she was really into me at that party a few weekends ago, we became friends on Facebook since and when I saw them again, they didn't seem that interested in me anymore. I guess our friendship got a Facebook funeral.
