    He was a friend of friends and he made contact with me on facebook. We got chatting on facebook and chatted for a few weeks and he eventually asked me out on a date. During the time of him making first contact and our date interaction between us was full on but since our date a few months back communication completely died down from him. I want to remove him from my friend list because there is nothing there between us nor will there ever be despite us having friends in common. Just wondering is this the right thing to do.

    I don't really think there's any issue with removing him as a friend. I regularly purge my contacts and remove people i'm no longer in contact with. ;) People put way too much importance in social networking sites.

    ...really?

    Its facebook. Just click the button. Its the exact same as removing number from your phone.

    Yeah, go ahead and do it. As you've said, whatever was between ye has fizzled out and you've no interest in staying in contact with him. You obviously don't want him on your friends list or you'd not be asking. I doubt he'll be too fazed one way or the other if you defriend him. He might not even notice for ages if he's one of those people who has 456 friends on Facebook.

    god yeah, if I didn't want any more contact, and didn't want them to see what I was up to, I would totally defriend them. Don't see any issue with that at all..

    Nobody ever goes through their friends list checking to see if anyone has deleted them. In such a situation it just appears as if you don't use facebook and never post.

    Also, with the new privacy posting that facebook has introduced in response to Google plus, you can post to select circles of friends and ignore others.
