The act of resurfacing old, embarassing, teen angst selfies, pictures, and statuses of people on Facebook by commenting on their timeline content from years before. The act of backstalking pulls old content to the newsfeed for enjoyment in the present. The best way to formulate a backstalk comment is to sarcastically act as if the status is from the present when clearly it is not and mimic the tone of the status or picture.
Backstalking:

When um you trying to sleep with someone you tell them about the time you went backpacking in Western Europe or start with asking "did I ever tell you about the time I was backpacking in Western Europe?" Question is normally enough to seduce someone.
R: Did I ever tell you about the time I was backpacking in Western Europe?
The Holiday Armadillo: *starts kissing R*

J: Years ago when I was backpacking through western Europe I was just outside Barcelona hiking in the foothills of Mount Tibidabo, I was at the end of this path and I came to a clearing, there was a very secluded lake and there were tall trees all around, it was dead silent and across the lake I saw a beautiful woman bathing herself but she was crying...
The holiday armadillo: *seduced* why was she crying?
