According to our friends at CNN, Facebook is the latest trend for people who want to hook up for trysts. You know how it happens – you connect with a high school sweetheart, an unrequited crush, a not-so-forgotten hookup, and those old feelings return. Here are just a few of the ways that a potential tryst takes form on Facebook.

Blast from the past: Ahhhh, the memories of loves long past. Facebook is a breeding ground for meeting up with past connections and fanning the old fires that may still be burning. Will it still be as passionate as it was 20 years ago? That may be a tryst risk worth taking.

You may know these people: You hadn’t thought about them in years, only to see that they are a friend of a friend. The moment their profile picture pops up on your profile, you wonder “what if?” and send them a friend request. Innocent pokes turn to flirty wall posts and emails. It doesn’t take long for it to progress to naughty pictures and clandestine meetings in a Motel 6.

Hot or not?: This little Facebook app shows you pictures of people who want to know if you think they are hot. If you see someone you like, just click on hot. You can even send them messages and virtual gifts, even if they aren’t your friends. It may take a little longer to get to know them and they may never want to meet in real life, but there’s nothing wrong with having an online tryst with your new Facebook friend.

All in your head: And what if you’re not brave enough to strike up a conversation with an ex? You can still have the tryst of your dreams… in your head. Use those stirred up memories to create a rich fantasy that can turn into a tryst where you never have to worry about getting caught – because it’s all in your head.
