Once someone adds you on Facebook you have a designated hour to spend investigating the Facebook profile an additional 10mins (because he definitely won't invest more time in looking at your profile) checking yours to make sure it's fine without seeming creepy or desperate (to yourself ofc, because no one else will ever know).  After that...

Don't look at his profile again.

Don't show it to your friends.

and I know this is obvious, but... Don't look at his ex's Facebook profile!

and even more obvious... Don't try to compare your profile with her's.

Don't privately freak out and burn all bridges every time he writes something that seems cold or takes longer replying to a text... now this I put here, just because I think it should be mentioned. Even though, who am I kidding? There will be more "fuck him!!!" 's and "this is it!" 's and so on. 

If you want to boost your image of what you want from someone listen to a Мачете playlist on YouTube and decide that you're not into this whole uncertain thing and that you deserve a lot more attention and just generally are too good for this. You're a queen. Is all. 

but pleeeease, pleeeease, DON'T remember his ex and feel self-conscious.

On human interaction and irritability aka Poli's Emotional Blueballs

At some point you really got to ask him/her/yourself how much longer will we play these games? Because the reality is: enough has been said, no one is trying to suffocate the other and all the recent steps have been made under the other party's initiation, so what can a girl be blamed for if all she did was respond. 

The Games that People Play has been my bible for a while and I've talked about it too much in verbal conversation, so I do hope the Universe will forgive me for mentioning it yet again. A book written by Erik Bern on Transactional Analysis, for me it was just a psychology book that happened to fall in my hands at the right time. Bern describes human interactions as strokes, or patting, like dog patting. The moment someone initiates a conversation is pat on the head of their conversation partner, so now the pat must be returned and so on and forth. There are different degrees of patting, so that if you ask someone on a date or pick them up from the airport- that's equivalent to 2-3 pats, so the other person is pushed to pay back with the same amount. The moment the amount of pats is outweighed on some side, a pat void is created, a sense of incompleteness which often is cause for irritation and dissatisfaction in a relationship.
